2013 PFA MEMBERSHIPS

People for Animals is a membership-based non-profit organization – our members make us strong! Please consider purchasing a new membership or renewing your membership for 2013. Memberships are $25 per year or $500 for a lifetime membership. Plus, anyone renewing or purchasing memberships before March 30 will be entered into a draw for some fantastic prizes!

For more information, visit: /www.pfasask.com/asask.com/2012/03/join-or-renew.html. Members may attend and vote at the AGM in April, electing our board of directors for the year and making important contributions to the governance of PFA.

BINGO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Bingos worked by PFA volunteers are essential fundraisers that make a major dent in our large vet bills. We have a small core of dedicated volunteers, but we are always in need of more. Volunteering at bingos is a fun way to meet some new people and help the animals in our care with just a few hours of commitment. If you can help, please email pfasask@gmail.com.

FERAL CAT FEEDERS NEEDED

We are looking for dedicated individuals who can feed cats on our feral cat routes. The commitment is once per week for one to two hours. If you have the time, we and the kitties would really appreciate it. For more on the volunteer opportunity, visit: /www.pfasask.com/asask.com/2012/06/feral-cat-feeder.html and email us at pfasask@gmail.com.

GOLD CANYON FUNDRAISER

A house full of cats doesn’t have to smell bad. In addition to regular litter scooping, you can also sweeten the air with some Gold Canyon scented products. PFA and Gold Canyon are partnering for a fundraiser from February 17 to March 9, with 20% of sales going to PFA. Visit https://angelwingscents.mygc.com/Home and click on the People for Animals link under My Parties. After you place your order, please email us at pfasask@gmail.com to let us know.

CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERS AND DONORS

We had a great Volunteer and Donor Appreciation event on February 17. Thank you to all of our volunteers and donors, whether you were able to come out or not. Thank you to our sponsors who donated food and prizes to help make the day a great success: Western Pizza (3847 Albert Street), 24-Hour Animal Care Centre, Metro Pet Market, Peavey Mart, Rainbow Cinemas, Fondant Creations, RBC, Flavours of India, Zippity Zoom Toys and Access Communications. And a special thanks to the many volunteers who came together to organize and run the event!

THANK YOU FROM OUR THREE-LEGGED KITTEN

Thanks to a quick response and many generous donations, Hawksley, our frostbitten kitten, was able to have the surgery he needed to remove his leg and relieve him of severe pain and the potential for serious infection. Our spunky little guy is now recovering in his foster home, and is bouncing back fast and adapting well to life with three legs. We are pleased to announce that our sweet boy has already been adopted by a loving family and will be joining them once he's recovered!
