Virginia Residents: Support SB 359
Call to help TNR bill pass state Senate
January 20, 2012
Senate Bill 359, sponsored by Virginia Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, is an important piece of legislation which furthers Trap-Neuter-Return programs in the state. If passed, the legislation will eliminate the possibility of those participating in TNR programs from being charged with abandonment under state law, a threat which overhangs them now.
UPDATE: Senate vote on SB 359, originally scheduled to be in committee on 1/19/12, is still pending.

Purrs from Jackie
Thanks to everyone who ChippedIn to save his life!
January 17, 2012
Jackie, a friendly eartipped cat was living on the Brooklyn streets when he was hit by a car. He was found in dire shape, dazed and bleeding from his eye and nose. Jackie needed emergency veterinary care to save his life so NeighborhoodCats turned to the community for help, posting his story on ChipIn.
UPDATE: Friends from around the country and around the world responded to Jackie's plight with generous donations (and heartfelt good wishes!) and we were able to raise the funds needed for his extensive medical care. Thanks to you Jackie is making excellent progress and is now ready to be adopted or placed in a loving foster home.
