Alley Cat Allies has responded to a request for assistance by the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals and other local organizations to help save the lives of feral cats living on the grounds of J.F.K. Airport. The organization has reached out to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and has requested a moratorium on all trapping until a humane solution for the feral cat colonies can be discussed.
