The No Kill Advocacy Center and Stray Cat Alliance filed an emergency motion in Los Angeles Superior Court asking the court to allow them to intervene as Defendants in the case of Urban Wildlands Group vs. City of Los Angeles (LASC BS115483).

Urban Wildlands and other groups sued the City of Los Angeles and its Department of Animal Services for attempting to work with community groups to save the lives of feral cats by sterilizing them instead of killing them in the City’s shelters. Feral cats are free living and unsocialized to people. In December, the Superior Court ordered the City of Los Angeles to cease all efforts to work with community groups to prevent shelter killing of feral cats through the method known as Trap-Neuter-Release (“TNR”). As a result of the ruling, the City cannot even inform people who come in contact with stray cats about TNR services available in the community. The ruling will cost thousands of cats their lives, while doing little to stem any perceived loss of bird life. But cat advocates are fighting back!
