KNOW YOUR RIGHTS

As a caregiver for outdoor cats, you may be approached by local authorities at some point. In some communities, animal-related ordinances are enforced by full-time animal control officers; in others, police officers, sheriffs, or code enforcement officers might be assigned to animal control duties or wear several hats, including animal control.  Here in the City of Palm Springs, our city endorses TNR as the most effective and humane approach to community cat management.  For other cities in Coachella Valley please refer to the Alley Cat Allies website for more resources: https://www.alleycat.org/resources/know-your-rights-how-to-talk-to-animal-control/
