Alley Cat Allies

How do people not realize that putting colonies of Ferrell cats in our state parks is an act of animal cruelty destroying the natural wildlife. Neutered cats must eat and drink, destroying the indigenous animals and adding new diseases into ecosystem. The natural fauna will disappear leaving a wasteland filled with diseased cats living short, miserable and cruel lives. I’m sure these people are all heart, and that’s just it, all heart and no brains. In reality they are sentencing these poor creatures to a slow cruel death. Since you don’t witness the reality, you actually sit back and feel good about yourself. Trap, neuter and release are acts of the worst kind of animal cruelty. We must stop this misguided effort that is rapidly destroying the very important and unique ecosystems of our Brandywine valley. All you have left is to listen to the screaming cats at night to the point you can’t sleep with you windows open. Can we come up with a way to eliminate these destructive colonies and restore the balance created over thousands of years? Yes! Trap, and take to SPCA. Sad, unfortunate, but humane and one positive step in maintaining our beautiful parks filled with the animals nature spent thousands of years to create. Once a cat has become Ferrell it will never be suitable as a house pet again.

Ok I'm a big advocate of TNR. This is what I loved about this organization. We wanted to adopt a kitten to help with an aging only in house community ours. Like how grandkids and grandparents go together. We established a connection with a foster family across state lines and they directed us towards the paperwork. I was honest about our house and literally after deflecting responses to us for a bit was told "we don't adopt that far away". Well never said you were coming to us; we planned on coming to you. So never could adopt through them and ended up adopted two barn/rural kittens who are happily snipped and up to date on shots. So please ACA stop sending requests for money to us. You wouldn't adopt out to a family that not only understands cats but can financially and medically make sure they are ok. And if you want the email chain I will 100% send them to you @ACA . In short I don't believe this is a bad charity but I believe the employees need to be vetted.

Alley Cat Allies does a lot of good work in the world, so let's not leave "catty" comments, pun. By the way, feral is not spelled "ferrell". Cats need all the friends they can get! Cheers!

Horrendous, evil organization and one of the main reasons the country is being infested with feral and free-roaming cats. They also partner with special interests pet supply, pet food companies. Alley cats “allies” does not care about wildlife and biodiversity. They call “community” cats to cats that are otherwise released and drop off into our parks and city streets, when in reality the “community” should NEVER be responsible for someone else’s unwanted cats. This organization has the potential to send many wildlife species into extinction thanks to their incredibly persistent actions to “save” cats unwanted house cats and to destroy everything else. birds, reptiles, butterflies, mammals Alley Cats Allies you are a bunch of charlatans and EXTREMELY EVIL PEOPLE.

Philanthropy.com reported that a nonprofit organization doing business as Alley Cat Allies, which promotes the abandonment of domestic cats, had been involved in “a number of questionable” financial practices. The piece said that this organization “offers a case study in what can happen when there’s a lack of government or institutional oversight.” The group’s founder and president, Becky Robinson, was reportedly “paid $265,309 in total compensation for the fiscal year that ended on July 31, 2017, while [Donna] Wilcox, the board chair and vice president, was paid $230,556 in salary and benefits. Together, their compensation amounts to more than 5 percent of the group’s revenue. The board sets the CEO’s pay, yet the board chair works for the CEO.” In 2015, after a neighbor complained about an outdoor horde of cats at Robinson’s home, “Alley Cat Allies bought the neighbor’s home for $590,000. Last summer, the charity bought a second home in Arlington for $569,000. Neither transaction was disclosed to the full board of the nonprofit.” In addition, the “board rarely meets—it has yet to convene in 2018.” This investigation was done by PETA. If you are a donor of this organization I would be cautious that your money isn’t going to the animals.

This is a wonderful group dedicated to protect our less than fortunate feral furry friends. When I joined Ally Cat Allies I learned how to effectively trap, neuter , return and how to provide shelters during inclement weather. They are my go to people when I have a question. I not only help the cats I am also doing a service for the community by cutting down on the amount of feral cats in our community. I started T/N/R 4 years ago. At the time there were kittens having kittens in a colony behind my house. After 3 years of continuous trapping I reached my goal of no more kittens in the colony. After trapping 30+ feral’s I haven’t seen a kitten in over a year.

The best, they won't turn anyone away, and they handled everything great. They handled the immediate feeding, and fostering of the tiny kitten I found. They also do great advocacy work and are the best kind of cat people. You won't find better cat people.

In the past I had contacted the organization for information and assistance in neutering a feral cat colony. I sought help in either referring me to a low cost neutering clinic or assisting with the cost of trapping and neutering. Several attempts to elicit a response were ignored; however, for years afterwards they send out fundraising in an attempt to solicit donations for their organization. I will donate to a low cost neutering clinic, but never to an organization that did not have the decency to respond let alone offer advice or assistance.

Had a great experience adopting our little cappy once known as captain catfish from them. They were very friendly and profession on their emails to me and even more so in person. The only negative is they told me cappy was less then a year old but my vet said there was no way. She said it was clear to see he is at least one year old from looking at his teeth. So I am a bit annoyed they lied about that but otherwise I love my cappy and the rest of my experience was wonderful.

I worked at Alley Cat Allies as a development associate. If you are looking to join a cause that makes an impact you are in the right place. But with this comes two sides to this coin. If you are a person of color management Charlene Perdrolie and Becky Robinson are not a good fit and as you can see from the racial demographic in the office you will see. I was hired as one of three minorities in staff, the next week another was fired and then finally I was one of two monorities in staff. I was fired due to being late for taking care of my daughter. I was disrespected and degraded on multiple occasions furthermore affecting my productivity and finally I was terminated. Charlene Pedrolie is racially insensitive along with her partner in crime Becky Robinson. I have overhead conversation they have had about employees of color and minorities in general itis very distasteful and unsettling to know that people give to such an organization that is ran by two women who still believe in the Jim Crow racial inequality system that disables people of color to advance their careers. But it isn’t just the people of color I have seen and heard both Becky Robinson and Charlene Pedrolie degrade and disrespect countless employees to the brink of tears as they use people’s job security to monopolize how employees behave in the facility. They have instilled Cathy Brown as their resident spy in the office to tamper and sabotage employees they want terminated.
