An open letter to our friends and supporters in Regina

Hello friends;

PFA is about to embark on our biggest trapping and sterilization effort ever on the streets of North Central Regina. We have plans to send trapping teams out to all 17 of our regular feeding stations, beginning this weekend. It is crucial that we reach street cats before it is too late, and they reproduce. Already, many of the females that we see are pregnant.

While many of the cats that we are targeting are feral, and will be released back to their habitat where we support them with food, water and shelter, it is a guarantee that we will also be trapping tame cats.These tame cats were once loved and socialized, but through no fault of their own they are surviving on the mean streets. While releasing feral cats back outside is the best solution for them, it is not the best solution for a tame cat.

Right now, we have 75 cats and kittens in foster care, and no openings. This means that if the feral team does trap a tame cat and we have it sterilized, it will have nowhere to go to be further rehabilitated and adopted out to a forever home where it will never again know hunger and cold. Can you help?

Even if you have never fostered a cat before, and might never again in the future, you could make a significant difference to our efforts this spring. All you would need would be a spare room with some soft blankets, food and water, litter, and some time to spend with a very grateful rescued street cat. One small spare room is a far better place for them than the streets, or a kennel at the shelter.

PFA will handle all of the medical considerations, the advertising, and the screening for adoptions. We can also supply food and litter if needed.

Please consider this request, and contact me for further information.
With sincere thanks for the support that you already give to PFA,
Sarah
