County Advocacy Tool — Stop Pet Overpopulation in Georgia

Step 1 — Your county

Which Georgia county do you live in?

Step 2 — Make it yours

Your name Your city / town (optional, adds local weight) Which best describes you? (this helps us write your letter in your voice — pick up to 3)

I'm involved in animal rescue I'm personally affected by this I live near a stray colony (it's a nuisance) I want to help but can't (renter or business property) I'm a veterinary or animal-control professional I'm a responsible pet owner (I fixed mine) I'm a local taxpayer / homeowner I just support the cause

You can pick up to 3 — that's plenty to write a strong letter in your voice.

How are you involved? (optional — check all that apply)

I care for a community-cat colony I foster animals in my home I run or volunteer with a local rescue I do TNVR myself I'm a transport volunteer

What have you seen or given? (optional — check all that apply)

I pay for spay/neuter surgeries out of my own pocket There's no affordable spay/neuter near me in the county Our local animal control / shelter can't keep up I'm seeing more strays and dumped animals than I used to I've hit capacity and had to turn animals away

Years you've been doing this (optional)

Rough $ you've spent yourself (optional)

What are you dealing with? (optional — check all that apply; we'll tell your story in your words)

Animals were dumped on or near my property I'm feeding a colony of cats I didn't choose I can't afford to get them fixed myself I'm on a fixed income, disability, or Social Security I have no way to transport them to get fixed The only help I've found is from volunteers stretched thin There's no affordable spay/neuter near me in the county Our local animal control / shelter can't keep up The number of animals around me keeps growing

What concerns you as a local taxpayer? (optional — check all that apply)

Our county keeps paying for the costly back end, not prevention Volunteers are doing work the county should fund I see strays and dumped animals in my community Our shelter costs keep rising with no end in sight I'd rather the county invest upfront to save money later

Your role (helps us state your credibility)

Veterinarian Veterinary technician Animal-control / shelter worker Other animal-care professional

What do you see in your work? (optional — check all that apply)

Our intake and euthanasia numbers are driven by unfixed strays Demand for low-cost spay/neuter far exceeds local supply I see daily that prevention is cheaper than the alternatives I treat the disease and injury that come from unmanaged strays

Which situation fits you? (this shapes your letter)

I rent / live in an apartment It's a business / commercial property

What's stopping you from helping? (optional — check all that apply)

I can't get my landlord's permission to trap or feed I have nowhere to set traps or hold a cat to recover Lease rules or management forbid feeding strays I have no way to transport them to a clinic I fear eviction or complaints if I try to help

What's happening at the property? (optional — check all that apply)

The property owner or management won't authorize TNVR Tenants come and go, so no one takes responsibility Customers or employees feed them, making it worse There are real liability and health-code concerns The colony grows unchecked between owners

What's going on near you? (optional — check all that apply)

It keeps growing and no one does anything about it Cats are on my property — digging, spraying, getting into things Smell, noise, fighting, and yowling at night I worry about my kids or my own pets Honestly, I'm not even a cat person — I just want it solved

As a responsible owner, what matters to you? (optional — check all that apply)

I spayed/neutered my own pets — it's just responsible It's unfair that responsible owners carry the cost of those who don't The county should make it easy and affordable for everyone to do the same Fixing your pets should be the normal, expected thing

Other concerns (optional — these reach commissioners who don't focus on the animals)

Bites or attacks on people or pets are a risk Unvaccinated strays are a rabies / disease risk Unvaccinated strays put residents' own pets at risk TNVR returns vaccinated cats — a safer community The animals themselves suffer — it's humane to prevent it Strays hurt property values and quality of life Free-roaming cats harm native birds and wildlife Nuisance and property damage from unmanaged strays
