Dear Loews Hotels, I am signing this petition to please urge you to reverse your policy against feral cats at your Universal Orlando properties.

Loews markets itself as "pet-friendly," but their recent decisions prove otherwise. 



The decision to remove a healthy colony of 23 cats, who have been cared for through a volunteer Trap-Neuter-Return program. The decision to refuse repeated offers from the national experts, Alley Cat Allies, to work out a humane solution that benefits everyone and allows the cats to stay in their home. The decision to ignore the tens of thousands of compassionate caregivers, advocates, and travelers who spoke out in support of the cats over the last two months.


Feral cats live outdoors and are not adoptable. Scientific research confirms that they are not a public health risk. Uprooting these content cats for no legitimate reason and transporting them to local animal control, where they will likely be killed, is cruel. 
There is nothing "friendly" about it.
In light of this inhumane, hypocritical decision, I've decided not to give Loews Hotels any more of my business. If the cats can't stay, neither will I.

The momentum is undeniable and the message is getting through. We are not backing down until they change this policy.

Let the cats stay. TNR works and everyone knows it. This is just senseless cruelty for no reason.

Unbelievable. They are already fixed and taken care of by volunteers so just leave them alone. Stop trying to kill them.

Listen to the experts and stop the removal. It makes no sense to kill healthy animals that are already managed.
