It goes with the territory when you volunteer for an animal rescue group - everyone has a friend, or "friend of a friend" who is feeding a stray or needs help with an unwanted animal. Sometimes, it even results in cats being dropped on your doorstep!
This literally happened to one of our feral feeders this week, who suddenly found herself with a squawky 3 month old kitten on her hands. The little guy, dubbed Pita, is cute and affectionate but not necessarily easy to absorb into a multi-pet household that includes an elderly cat with cancerous tumours.
We have done our best to accommodate Pita, but we are very full and have to manage our intake carefully. Dumping animals on someone's doorstep and hoping for the best is not really a good solution, especially for the cat as there are no guarantees it will be looked after.
PFA is a volunteer driven and donation based non-profit rescue group that is struggling to care for over 100(and counting) stray and abandoned cats during the height of kitten season. We don't get any grant or government funding, so each animal we take on means our volunteers are working harder to raise more funds, procure food/litter donations, and find responsible homes.
There are other options besides abandoning a pet. If you need to find a home for a pet that you can no longer care for, please visit our website at www.people4animals.ca for tips on re-homing a pet.
In the meantime, we are seeking a loving furr-ever family for Pita soon. He is a playful and and affectionate little guy who deserves a good home. Please contact us at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com if you are interested in our mighty cute little man, Pita.
