Clinton's community cats found themselves under siege when the mayor came across a caregiver feeding one day. He advised the caregiver to stop feeding the cats so that they would go away.
MS SPAN was contacted by concerned Clinton citizens, and we met with the mayor along with other partner organizations in Animal Advocacy Initiative of Mississippi (AAIM).
We were able to educate Mayor Fisher about the importance of trap-neuter-return (TNR) in reducing the population of homeless cats, as it is the most effective, affordable and humane solution to this problem. We started the Clinton Community Cat Care Initiative (CCC) in order to recruit volunteers to help trap feral cats, transport them to the Big Fix Clinic, and manage colonies. We will also be providing TNR workshops for volunteers in the coming months to share best practices with the community.
In addition to the CCC, we are working with the city to update ordinances to better protect animals through registration and spay/neuter.
We hope you'll join us in making the city of Clinton and safe and friendly place for all! Please sign up with your interests below, and we will be in touch soon!
