Residents In Indiana City Can Now Pay Off Parking Tickets By Donating Cat Food To Local Shelter

The brilliant idea is a mutual initiative by the police department and a local animal shelter in Muncie, Indiana, which is currently home to over 350 cats and kittens in dire need of supplies.

The Muncie Police Department and Muncie Animal Care and Services announced the new partnership in a Facebook post on Monday:

For this week only, the police department is allowing residents to pay off their parking tickets by donating cat supplies including litter and food to the shelter — no cash required.

"MACS has partnered with the Muncie Police Department with a wonderful program that allows people who have parking tickets to pay their tickets with cat/kitten food, litter, wet/pate canned food, beds, blankets, etc. in lieu of paying with money," the post explained.

The dollar amount of all the donations must be equal to the amount of the parking ticket.

The program is only running for one week, so residents interested in paying off their parking ticket must bring the donated supplies to MACS or to the police station by Friday at 4 p.m. local time.
