Indiana City Police Department Allows People To Pay Off Their Parking Tickets By Donating Cat Food
It’s no doubt that pets are some of the best things that can happen to a human. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who refuse this joy and decide to abandon their pets, usually cats and dogs. The upside to it is the fact that there are people who dedicate their lives to help those poor critters that were left homeless in many animal shelters across the world. One such example is the Muncie Animal Care & Services in Indiana, who help people adopt new pets and help find abandoned animals new homes.
Muncie Animal Care & Services teamed up with the local police to let citizens pay their fines by helping out abandoned kitties

However, that requires resources and it often boils down to the simple, yet horrible truth that there are more people willing to abandon a ‘problem’ than to solve it. As the Muncie cat shelter was starting to get overrun with stray cats and kittens, an unexpected ally emerged in the chaos. The local police department decided to step in and help by offering the citizens a new alternative to their own troubles. Instead of paying off their parking tickets with money, the police encouraged people to donate money or cat food to the Muncie Animal Care & Services shelter.

Both services took to social media to share this initiative, adding a list of things people can offer instead of paying off their parking violations. “Cat/kitten food, litter, wet/pate canned food, beds, blankets” are some of the things that are encouraged to be brought in.

The police officer even noted that those who are unable to drop the items off at the shelter or the police department may call their number to have a uniformed officer come over to pick up the donated items for adorable cats.

Although this offer is limited until June 19, 4 pm local time, it’s a good initiative to help out shelters in need while encouraging people to donate. People on social media applauded this effort and wished for it to be a universal practice. Well, maybe someday!

Years ago a pregnant stray showed up on my doorstep. I would like to have kept them all, but there wasn't room; fortunately, I did find responsible forever homes for all of the kittens, and had the mother, whom I dubbed Ragamuffin, fixed. RIP, Ragamuffin - in your honor I adopted two rescue kittens. Now they're grown up, and if only they would quit fighting!

This is BRILLIANT!! More cities should do similar things to help animals.
I don't want to look at those kitty eyes or I will melt. I have to keep reading.
WOW!! What a wonderful idea... more cities should adopt this idea. Would help out the homeless pets and the shelters who care for them as well!!
They could just adopt a kitty and be free of a parking ticket :D win win all round.
That's what I was thinking. I wonder how many traffic violators wound up adopting. Hope it was at least a few of them.
