Update on the Nuns
RESOLUTION:
Neighborhood Cats and Corpus Christi Nuns Reach Agreement: Cats to get
New Home at Pets Alive Sanctuary!
(June 8, 2005) 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.
