Support a Groundbreaking State Law to Protect Community Cats and TNR in Maryland

This action is ONLY for residents of Maryland

This is our chance to make HISTORY for cats! Alley Cat Allies drafted, named, and is championing Ash's Law—the first-ever comprehensive statewide law protecting Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and community cats. Join us by taking action now to support this groundbreaking bill!

The Maryland House Environment & Transportation Committee will consider Ash’s Law, or HB 912, on Wednesday, February 25. Make your voice heard by asking them to vote YES!

If passed, Ash’s Law would officially establish and protect TNR as the law of the land in Maryland. Ash’s Law is unique in that it goes a step further than any other law, preventing local jurisdictions from prohibiting or restricting the TNR efforts of organizations and residents.

Ash’s Law is named in honor of Ash, a beloved community cat from Riverdale, Maryland, who was removed from her outdoor home in 2016 and impounded in an animal shelter. She spent her final day confined in a cage with her six young kittens. All were killed less than 24 hours later.

Ash’s story exposes the consequences of lethal policies that treat cats’ lives as disposable—policies that Ash’s Law seeks to end by establishing an official statewide TNR program.

Tell the House Environment & Transportation Committee that you support Ash’s Law to protect TNR and community cats!
