It isn't easy to operate a busy animal rescue group that looks after over 200 street cats per year - sterilizing feral cats to reduce overpopulation, maintaining feeding stations, rescuing dozens and dozens of stray cats and kittens and finding them homes. Not to mention finding the money (and volunteers) to get it all done.
PFA is very fortunate to have many loyal and dedicated members, supporters and volunteers who help make it all possible. We have many people to thank:
- Our kind and caring foster homes who take in rescued animals and care for them until they find permanent homes;
- The dedicated feral team volunteers who make sure the cats at PFA colonies and feeding stations have food and water every day of the year, rain or shine (or blizzard!);
- Our hardworking bingo coordinator and the many dedicated bingo volunteers who work very hard - not to mention some crazy hours, at our most important fundraising mechanism;
- Numerous volunteers who help out at other fundraising events from hot dog sales to garage sales to steak nights and catalogue sales - anything that will generate a few bucks to help our cats;
- Partners such as our friends at Prairie Animal Assistance who care for special needs or very timid cats;
- The vet clinics (Victoria Veterinary Clinic, Animal Clinic, 24 hours clinic) who support our rescue work and give our cats the best vet care possible;
- The volunteers who maintain our website and Facebook page;
- The volunteers who make cat toys or make or donate other merchandise for sale at PFA fundraisers;
- The financial, food and litter donors;
- The PetSmart volunteers;
- The businesses who host our donation cans;
- Various groups and organizations who fundraise and collect donations for us; and,
- The adoptive families who give our rescued cats their furr-ever homes.
I hope I didn't miss anyone - but if I did, rest assured that PFA treasures everyone of our volunteers and supporters that make it possible to make a difference to so many cats.
Happy Holidays to all!
