Neighborhood Cats and In Defense of Animals (IDA) are
happy to announce that we have reached a mutually acceptable agreement
with the Dominican Nuns of the Corpus Christi Monastery in the Bronx, NY.
The Sisters have made a compassionate, humane decision to allow the Feral
Cat Initiative, a program of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals that
is administered by Neighborhood Cats staffers, to come to the Monastery to
gather the cats and take them to their new home at the Pets Alive
sanctuary in Middletown, NY.
We want to stress to the public that relocating a colony
of feral cats is very rarely an option but in this unusual case we were
fortunate to receive this generous offer from the Pets Alive sanctuary. We
would like to thank the Sisters of the Corpus Christi Monastery, the
Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, the Humane Society of New York and
Pets Alive for their humane efforts to help these cats get safely to their
new home.
We would also like to thank the thousands of people who
called and wrote us expressing their deep care and concern for the safety
and well-being of these feral cats.
