Feral cats are everywhere! They come from people abandoning their pet cats/kittens, which breed and produce more feral/homeless kittens. My goal is to try to stop this overbreeding of feral cat populations. I plan to implement the TNR (Trap, Neuter and Return) program, as well as try to socialize and rehabilitate any cats/kittens that I can, then try to find suitable homes for them. I am currently trying to start this rescue up by myself, with a little bit of help from Hundred Cat Foundation, which is a local large-scale cat rescue and TNR. They focus on large scale rescues and do not accept individual surrenders. The only two other rescues around here are PAWS (which has a waiting list, which means that you could wait 2 or more YEARS to find a home for your cat/kitten!) and the SPCA, which unfortunately, can not take the time to socialize feral kittens or semi-feral cats, so their only other option is euthanasia. I am trying to start a small scale feral cat/kitten program to help as many cats/kittens as I can that PAWS and The Hundred Cat Foundation have to turn away or the SPCA has to euthanise. For the time being, I'm trying to raise funds/supplies to get this rescue started. If you would like to help, donations of clumping kitty litter, cat/kitten food (dry kibble and canned), litter boxes, cages, paper towels, gently used towels, food/water dishes and cat toys are greatly appreciated! Financial donations and donated gift cards for Petco, Wal-Mart, Lowes and grocery stores (Weis, Giant, or other local State College or Penns Valley stores that carry cat supplies) are also greatly appreciated. These donations will be going 100% to the feral/homeless cats of the Penns Valley area. I hope to add a donations page that shows exactly what individuals/businesses have donated and what their donations went towards.
If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to help the PV Ferals it can be sent to The Hundred Cat Fdtn, PO Box 10, Centre Hall, PA 16828. Include a note or mark the check with PV Ferals.
If you would like more information on feral cats, the TNR program, donating, volunteer opportunities or anything else, please email me at PVFerals@hotmail.com and I will return your email ASAP!
