A Shelter-Box Workshop



PFA does all kinds of things to help homeless cats in our city, including the construction of shelters for our feral cats who live outside year round.

Last year we were pleased to discover that we could transform donated Styrofoam containers that are used to transport pharmaceuticals into secure, cozy (and economical) shelters for cats wintering outside. We need dozens and dozens of these shelters to keep our feral cats safe and warm during the winter months.

This week our efforts got a tremendous boost from a kind group from the Westhill Park Baptist Church who got together and donated their time to a shelter-box building bee - a tremendous effort that resulted in 22 boxes completed, stored and ready for the next busy winter season.

Thanks so much so Heidi, Carolyn and the Westhill Park Baptist Church group for offering their time and efforts to help us help feral cats - and to our feral team and other volunteers for running the workshop and transporting and storing the boxes.
