Action Update
Thankfully, The Cats Look Good—But There’s a Long Way to Go
Dear Patty,
Thanks to supporters like you, who raised their voices to protect the cats at Bayside State Prison, I have some encouraging news to share. Yesterday, Alley Cat Allies met with Bayside State Prison officials and received a tour of the prison grounds where cats live, so we could begin to assess the situation and the cats’ health.
I’m relieved to tell you that the cats we saw appear to be stable and in good shape and are being fed on an interim basis.
Now that we have confirmation of the cats’ immediate safety, we’ve begun discussions with prison officials, and we look forward to putting in place a long-term program to meet the needs of the cats and Bayside State Prison. Discussions are ongoing, and we will keep you updated as our work with the prison progresses.
You were a part of a great outpouring of support for these cats, and it’s because of you that Bayside State Prison is working with Alley Cat Allies. We, and the cats, thank you.
