Cats on Mats fundraiser Oct. 29 at Orange Beach Yoga

In honor of National Cat Day, MOXIE Lifestyle Fitness Studio and Orange Beach Yoga will host the Cats on Mats this Sunday, October 29 at 11:30 a.m. Sign up online or drop by MOXIE, located at The Wharf in Orange Beach (251-219-0504).
The $20 class fee will serve as a tax-deductible donation to the Orange Beach Animal Care and Control Program (OBACCP) and the Trap-Neuter-Return effort in Orange Beach. Cat adoptions will follow the one hour, all level yoga class. Yoga with cats is the newest trend in yoga! The idea of having homeless cats roam freely in yoga studios originally started in British Columbia as a way of helping cats in need find homes.
The Orange Beach Animal Care and Control Program (OBACCP) advocates for low-cost spay and neuter policies and programs, as well as lifesaving Trap-Neuter-Return and Shelter-Neuter-Return initiatives. OBACCP is working for meaningful change to make a better place to live for our citizens and cats. TNR is the only proven effective method of controlling the otherwise exponential growth in stray and feral cat colonies.
“Although some immediate results will be evident where colonies are completed, it will take a continued partnership with Orange Beach city leaders, dedicated volunteers and our citizens’ willingness to cooperate with this new approach in order to be completely effective,’’ said Tom Conerly, OBPD Animal Control Officer, Orange Beach Police Department
Currently, over 600 local governments in the US have officially embraced Trap, Neuter and Return to successfully manage their community cat populations.
“We have a lot of work to do to ensure policies and programs in the Orange Beach community serve the best interests of cats and citizens,’’ said program advocate Stephanie Christie. “Support of this innovative program is driving meaningful change in the community.”
Orange Beach Animal Care and Control is a resource for animal advocates, dedicated community cat caregivers, and volunteers driving change and accelerating protection for community cats and our other animals in Orange Beach. Effect meaningful change and make Orange Beach a better place to live for its citizens and cats. The non-profit project dedicated to saving the lives of community cats, and making it possible for all cats to live in harmony with their neighbors.
