Is it okay to feed community cats in our society? The RWA objects.

We feed four cats near the parking. A few neighbours complained and the RWA sent a notice. What are our options?

This is general information, not legal advice. In India, courts and the Animal Welfare Board have recognised that community animals may be fed and have urged residents' associations to find peaceful solutions — typically a designated feeding spot away from play areas and entrances, fixed feeding times, and cleaning up after feeding. Sterilisation and vaccination programmes with a local NGO usually reduce complaints too. Approach the RWA calmly, offer the plan in writing, and consult the Animal Welfare Board's guidelines or a local animal-welfare organisation if the dispute continues.
