People for Animals' Feral Cat Program is a fundamental part of the work that we do in Regina. Our team works in the inner city, doing daily visits to feeding stations and cat colonies that we have maintained for many years. We also practice trap/neuter/release at these locations, so that numbers of street cats don't continue to rise. The need continues to grow, and the number of feeding stations that are now established has prompted the need to divide them up and create a second route, so that we have two teams of people going out to feed,water, and check shelters on a daily basis. Can you help? We are looking for volunteers to staff this second team feeding in North Central Regina.
Requirements:
*Volunteers need to have a reliable vehicle.
*Must be able to pay for medium to high quality cat food when there are no donations available.
*Volunteers must be dedicated and committed to their feeding night, regardless of weather conditions.
*Volunteers must ensure that, if they can't go on their designated day of the week, they switch with another team member so that the day is covered.
*The route has about 8 stops on it, and would take about an hour on the assigned day of the week to check the shelters, feed, and water the cats.
We need cat loving people with big hearts with a desire to help these poor street cats who have no one else. It is no fault of their own that their home is on the streets living in a run down garage, eating frozen food from the dumpster and having no warm cozy spot to sleep or someone to pet them. They deserve so much more and if anything we can only be there for them to bring them food, water and perhaps a shelter so that they can survive this brutal Saskatchewan cold weather. When you see cats just waiting for you to bring them food and water it is heart breaking and you must think of them and how they will feel if you aren't there for them.
The need is urgent. Can you help us in this gratifying work?
