Please help! PFA stretched beyond capacity
After last year’s warm winter, the number of kittens and cats in need of rescue this fall has reached numbers that PFA has never seen before. We do our best to help as many cats and kittens as possible, but we are unable to keep up with the current demand, both capacity-wise and financially.
With around 140 cats in foster care (almost 50 of them in three of our foster homes!), we are struggling to provide food and veterinary care for them. About 30 foster kittens will need to be sterilized in the next few months if they are not adopted, a huge expenditure. Our feral cat Trap/Neuter/Release program is also in full swing right now to prevent the births of more homeless kittens. We have a long waiting list of cats on the cold streets that we are unable to take in because there is no room in our foster homes. And we have had to turn away numerous requests for help from members of the public.
PFA is stretched beyond capacity, and we desperately need your help in the areas of financial contributions, new foster homes, and fundraising volunteers. We are at the point where we can no longer take in any more rescues and financially provide for their needs, and we have to suspend our fall feral cat trapping until we raise enough funds to continue.
Unlike the Regina Humane Society, PFA does not receive grants to subsidize our operations. We rely completely on donations from kind people, so that we may continue the work we feel compelled to do. Unfortunately, donations have been very slow, just when we need them most.
If you can help us with a donation of any size, please visit http://www.pfasask.com/2012/03/make-donation-to-pfa.html or email us at pfasask@gmail.com if you are able to serve as a foster home or volunteer to help us at fundraising events.
We and our many foster and feral cats and kittens thank you.
