PFA is proud of our record of rescuing many street cats over the years and finding them good homes, as well as contributing to the reduction of the feral cat population in Regina by sterilizing feral cats through our Trap/Neuter/Release program.
We thank our members and supporters for their generous contribution that make this possible.
However, the sad fact remains that for every cat we rescue off the street, there are many more left behind. There are far more cats out there than there are resources to help, whether through us, the Humane Society or other rescue groups.
Poor Colby, pictured above, is an example. Our feral team has been monitoring him for several months now due to his numerous injuries. Sadly, there was never any place for him in foster care because we've been maxed out since May. So, we decided to go ahead and at least fix him and then release him, but he was never around to be trapped when we had the funds. Lately, he is around all the time (sitting on his dumpster), but we have no money to get him neutured at this time.
And, he is one of many stray cats on one block near the Pasqua Hospital alone. This is what we face daily in our attempts to make a difference for street cats in Regina. We cheer for the lucky cats that move on to loving adoptive homes. And we pray for the ones left behind.
