PFA is committed to recognizing individuals who’ve made a significant voluntary contribution to animal welfare. We have a category of membership reserved for recognizing such distinguished volunteers.

If you want to nominate someone for an honorary membership, review the eligibility, criteria and nomination process and submit the Honorary Membership Nomination Form by Friday, February 1. Honorary memberships for 2013 will be awarded at the volunteer appreciation event on Sunday, February 17.

PFA relies on member support to continue to advocate for animals in crisis. Memberships expire December 31 of each year (unless you purchase a lifetime membership) and memberships purchased in the fourth quarter of each year apply to the following year. If your contact information hasn’t changed, you don’t need to submit the membership form with your payment ($25 per year or $200 for lifetime membership). Simply pay online via PayPal (enter Membership Renewal in the How May We Direct Your Donation? field) or mail us a cheque (indicate Membership in the note line). New members will need to submit the PFA membership application with payment. Members will have voting privileges at the upcoming 2013 Annual General Meeting.
EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEER GRANTS
Many organizations offer employee volunteer grants to recognize employee community involvement. We encourage all PFA volunteers to look into employee volunteer grants at their workplace. It requires little effort compared to other fundraising efforts and can provide PFA with much needed funds. Thanks to the following organizations for their support through their employee volunteer programs.
· Affinity Credit Union (on behalf of Joan Gallinger and Marcia Gordon)
· Farm Credit Canada (on behalf of Kim Belhumeur)
· RBC (on behalf of Stephanie Streifel)
· SaskPower (on behalf of Alanna Whippler)
THANKS TO OUR CORPORATE SPONSORS!
As a registered charity, PFA depends on volunteers and independent fundraising activities. Sponsorship partners help us to improve the lives of Regina’s homeless cats. We encourage volunteers who are also local business owners to consider a PFA corporate sponsorship. More information, including sponsorship levels, is available on our website. Thanks to Flux CrossFit and SaskBattery Distributors Inc. for signing on as bronze partners with PFA.

FERAL FEEDERS NEEDED
We’re looking for volunteers to help feed cats in our feral colonies around the city. An hour or two of your time each week can help make a real difference in the lives of Regina’s homeless cats. For more information, read the job description here.
SUBMIT YOUR ADOPTION SUCCESS STORY
Have you adopted a cat from People for Animals? We'd love to hear from you! PFA will be featuring successful adoptions at the volunteer appreciation event on Sunday, February 17 and would appreciate your contributions. Please email a recent photo of you and your cat with your names and adoption date to pfasask@gmail.com by Friday, February 1. Your story could inspire others to make the decision to add a PFA cat to their family!
THANKS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON SUPPORT
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our December cat food and litter drive. Our foster and feral cats and kittens will be well fed this winter! Thanks also to Retrovise, Employment Network and Pet Valu for serving as our drop-off locations for donations. There were also workplaces that held donation drives for PFA throughout December, including SaskPower Corporate Communications and Mental Health and Addictions, Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region. We would be remiss if we didn’t mention the Grade 8 class at Coronation Park School that collected a huge amount of food and litter for PFA. We love to see youth with an interest in animal welfare. We also owe a debt of gratitude to numerous individuals who sponsored cats throughout December. Because of your support, we were able to sterilize all of the cats we had intended to spay and neuter in December. We look forward to launching another holiday sponsorship campaign in December 2013.
