When stuff, and the herald AND the SPCA newsletter ran stories about the increase of animals being abandoned over the holidays, I was horrified. And decided to do something small to help.

So I volunteered with Forgotten Felines, which is a small non-profit organisation near where I work that care for a large number of cat colony’s. Generally they trap the cats (humanely), have them neutered before returning them to the colony. Kittens are neutered, tamed and put into foster care to wait till they are adopted. Apparently wild adult cats are too ‘wild’ to be tamed and re-homed, which is why they left in the colony’s and fed.

Which is what I plan on doing – I’ve been giving the job of a ‘feeder’, which is where once a week I toddle out to the colony with a couple cans of meat and cat biscuits and feed the wild kits.

I’m quite excited about it actually. I’m waiting on a few details, but will let you know how it goes. :)
