Both Pearl (top photo, white cat) and Stanley (next photo, black and white cat) were rescued by PFA volunteers during the first cold snap of this year when both were found crying in distress at two separate PFA inner city feeding stations. With temperatures as low as -25, our volunteers knew that all 9 of their feline lives could be on the line, so they brought both refugees from the street in, even with our current foster homes at capacity. When the cold is so severe, our volunteers have a really hard time leaving tame cats behind on the street, especially ones clearly in distress.
Since PFA is completely full, both of these lovely cats are currently being boarded at the vet clinic. However, this is far from an ideal situation, as not only does it use up some of PFA's precious financial resources that could go towards spaying and neutering, but it doesn't allow Pearl and Stanley to relax and enjoy the comforts of a home setting. We could really use some new foster homes for cases such as this!
Not only do we need more regular foster homes, but we could use some short-term and emergency foster homes throughout the upcoming holiday season when some regular foster homes are away, and the vet clinic is full with holiday boarders.
Can you help? Please contact pfasask@gmail.com if you can. Or, even if you can't take a foster cat in yourself, please share this blog post on your social networking sites to spread the word about fostering for PFA.
