PFA seeks help from Regina animal lovers
/
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 4, 2009
For many, summer is a time to relax. For the numerous stray cats on Regina’s streets, however, problems are just beginning. Summer brings with it a large number of kittens born on the streets, leading to suffering and death due to exposure, hunger, disease and abuse.
People for Animals of Saskatchewan Inc. (PFA), a local volunteer-run animal welfare organization, is doing its part to reduce the cat overpopulation problem in our city, but it needs support from Regina’s animal lovers to help save the lives of hundreds of cats and kittens.
“We have close to 100 cats and kittens in foster care and up for adoption, all rescues from the streets of Regina. We are at maximum capacity and have frozen intake of new animals until a number of our current cats are adopted,” says Pat Vogt, president of PFA. “Unfortunately, this means we are turning away numerous requests to help with stray cats, particularly female cats and their litters sheltering under decks, porch steps and abandoned garages.”
You can help by:
Please contact PFA at saskpeopleforanimals@gmail.com or at www.people4animals.ca to make a donation, adopt a cat or kitten, or volunteer.
PFA is a registered charity and volunteer-run animal welfare organization that works to assist companion animals in need and to educate people about the humane treatment of animals.
