Alley Cat Allies is fighting for justice for Trooper after she was fatally shot with a blowgun dart earlier this year. This week, we raised our reward to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Trooper's shooter.
Our team was also on the ground in Catawba County, North Carolina, where Trooper lived. We distributed flyers about our reward and met with veterinary clinics, animal services, and other key community members to provide our expert educational materials and build important connections.
With your support, we are taking strong action against animal cruelty and building the foundation for wider community change--in Trooper's memory and for cats across the county.

BREAKING NEWS:
Alley Cat Allies filed a landmark* lawsuit against the City of Lincolnton and Mayor Mike McCombs for unlawfully permitting a private citizenβMayor McCombsβ wife, Lizzy Longβto shoot and kill Piper the cat.
The entire incident was captured on police body camera in April 2026. Piper did not die immediately from the gunshot and suffered extreme distress before succumbing to the injury.
Although a warrant was issued for Longβs arrest for animal cruelty, it was recalled the very same day.
Public officials and their friends and family are not above the law. Mayor McCombs and the City of Lincolnton must answer for the heinous cruelty to Piper and abuse of authority. Alley Cat Allies will not stop fighting until Piper receives justice.

While on the ground in Granite Shoals, Texas, our team discovered Shadow, Midnight, and Tiger--neonatal kitten siblings with upper respiratory infections. We rushed them to veterinary care at our clinic that same day, and we're happy to report all are doing well!
