__________________________________________
A neighboring County passed a new ban. 😾 Renko Animal Rescue stands firmly against LaSalle County’s ban on feeding feral cats!
This policy is not only inhumane but counterproductive.⛔️ Feeding feral cats is a critical part of responsible Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, which reduce populations, improve community health, and prevent suffering.
Denying animals access to food does not make them disappear—it only increases illness, desperation, and needless suffering. We strongly urge county officials to reconsider this harmful ban and work with your local rescue groups, veterinarians, and community members to support humane, effective, and evidence-based solutions for managing feral cat populations.
We encourage residents to reach out to their county representatives to voice their concerns!
Do you know someone in your neighborhood who feeds feral cats without any regard for feline overpopulation?
