Two senior women from Alabama were shocked when they found out that they were being arrested for feeding and neutering stray cats. The women aren’t likely to spend any time in jail, but they will still have to deal with probation requirements and fines for wanting to help homeless animals. Please sign this petition to ask the City Attorney to relieve these women of probation and help the community establish a formal spay and neuter program!
