Such a worthy cause with a lasting impact to help resolve the community cat populations in our county and end their suffering! I am a 7 year PWC colony helper and life-long animal lover. I wish all cats would have a loving, safe home, but until this is possible, insuring the outside cat population is kept in check by spaying/neutering is so very important. PLEASE help by signing this petition.

The number of homeless cats in Prince William County is astounding. So many have been made homeless by the destruction of tens of thousands of acres of wooded land. Cats who once lived and found their sustenance in forests can no longer do so. They find themselves struggling to survive in a hostile environment, where there is no food, water, shelter. They struggle to protect and care for their babies where predators abound and vehicular traffic comes from every direction. They starve or die of dehydration or exposure to weather extremes. Their suffering is so profound, and it's all around us! Yet so few of us see it. One winter I finally did. While drinking my hot coffee on a bitter, windy day when ice and snow had been covering the ground for over two weeks, I looked past my patio to see a very skinny cat. Its misery was palpable, and brought tears to my eyes. It could barely stand up against the wind. It sought reprieve from that bitter wind by climbing up into the engine area of a little cart that the maintenance men use to do their work on the property. I was shocked that a cat would be out in such weather! I assumed it was a lost pet. Five years have passed, and I've seen many hundreds of homeless cats on my end of Manassas alone. In one case I was feeding a large colony of about 17 cats. It was a stable colony after they were all vetted, and I fed them each evening. It was the highlight of my day. When the two young "lookout kitties" would spot my car coming in their direction to feed them, they would instantly run and do somersaults through the whole hillside, letting the others know of my arrival! What a joyous welcome! It filled my heart. (Until then, I had thought only dogs did the happy dance!) Then one day the adjoining woods were plowed. Suddenly more cats began coming to eat, and within a week there were an additional 30 or more cats I had never seen before. Many of them were young kittens. A few were very pregnant moms. They were all so desperate! And
