7/5/11 Public Forum!

pawprintIconOn July 5th, Columbia's City Council will discuss and possibly vote on new rules for feral cat colonies. Join the public discussion about how these rules will impact our community, feral cats and those who care for them. Show your support -- wear green!

Call To Action!

Please help us let city and county officials know just how important it is to include feral-friendly language in our new animal control ordinances.
There are some in our community who would rather see ferals killed on sight rather than make it possible for caring citizens to humanely manage our feral colonies. If you support TNR, it's time to speak up!

Kathy Coble Defense Fund

As you know, SNAP is a local group that helps people who are caring for feral cats. We offer access to low-cost spays, neuters and rabies vaccinations, plus education, support and equipment for doing Trap-Neuter-Return. Now we need to help one of our caretakers, Kathy Coble, who is under fire from the city for taking care of a feral colony.

SNAP has started collecting donations to help with Kathy Coble's legal expenses. If anyone would like to donate, they can send their donation to:

SNAP-Kathy Coble Defense Fund
PO Box 10186
Columbia, 65205

We also always need donations to help pay for our vet bills! We also offer advice on how to live with the cats in your neighborhood. A national group, Alley Cat Allies, publishes a great brochure, "How to Live with Cats in Your Neighborhood" at their web site - www.alleycat.org. If anyone would like to donate to a fund to help pay for devices such as motion detector sprinklers, we would be happy to distribute those as well.
