PRESS RELEASE

PEOPLE FOR ANIMALS OF SASKATCHEWAN INC.
People for Animals of Saskatchewan Inc. (P.F.A.) is a local, non-profit, volunteer-run animal welfare organization which works to assist companion animals in need and to educate people about the humane treatment of pets and other animals.
PFA has had a very busy summer, helping dogs and cats in crisis, obtaining medical care for them, fostering them, and then finding loving permanent homes for them. We have been especially focused on dealing with the cat crisis in Regina, resulting in a population explosion of cats on the streets, especially in the North Central neighborhood of Regina. Our Feral Cat Team is on the streets every day, maintaining our feral cat colonies, checking on our many feeding stations, helping animals in distress, and trapping cats to be sterilized, and, if they are tame, adopted.
With the arrival of the fall season, the calls for help from PFA from the community have increased ten fold. We are completely overwhelmed with calls from people concerned about stray cats that they have been feeding, or cats that they are rescuing from the inclement weather. Right now, all of our foster homes are overfilled, our funds are severely depleted, we are out of food, we have run out of our supply of feline vaccines, and our volunteers are overworked.
We need help from Regina’s animal lovers, if we are going to be able to continue answering these hundreds of calls for help.
•We need donations of money, food, feline vaccines, and other supplies.
•We need people to open up their homes and their hearts, and adopt one of our wonderful rescued animals.
•We need more foster homes, to temporarily shelter all of these refugees from the streets.
•We need more volunteers to assist with fundraising, pet rescue, feral team, driving, and many more roles.
