Kitten season is coming and the calls are already rolling in. We need foster homes for these furry bundles, stat! To be a foster home, all you need is to provide a cat or kitten with a roof over their heads and some much-needed love. PFA will provide food, litter, vet care, and any other items needed. Email us at pfasask@gmail.com to offer your home to a cat or kitten in need.
VOLUNTEERS: B-I-N-G-O!
There was a farmer, had a cat, and Bingo was her name-o. As a bingo volunteer, you will raise about $15 per hour toward vet bills for foster and feral cats and kittens, and also have a lot fun! Choose from a variety of day, evening and weekend shifts. Email pfasask@gmail.com to volunteer.
VOLUNTEERS: CATHEDRAL VILLAGE ARTS FESTIVAL
