One of the hardest parts of my volunteer work for PFA is receiving the many e-mails asking for help with either re-homing cats or rescuing strays. It seems there are always many more cats than there are homes where they are wanted. With our foster homes completely maxed out, we are having to turn away a lot of people seeking help, with the knowledge that the Humane Society is also overloaded and many cats are being euthanized.
Luckily, Tiger is one cat that we are able to help. He is a sweet male tabby who was being fed by a kind lady and her young son who noticed him hanging around their yard and took pity on him. But, they had to vacate their rental property and leave poor Tiger behind. I stopped by the property a few times with food and water, hoping Tiger would show up and sure enough, he was there waiting for someone to come along and care for him. He was very hungry, but also very sweet and friendly.
Tiger is now at our favourite vet clinic, Victoria Vet, awaiting his neuter and his new forever home. He will be boarding there for a while as we still do not have any openings in foster care, and he will be very lonely and confused in such a strange environment. But, I am happy he is off the street and won't go hungry anymore.
We still have an urgent need for foster homes and adoptions. If you would like to help homeless cats by fostering, or if you are looking for a pet of your own, please contact saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com or visit www.people4animals.ca
