Learn More About How to Help Churchgoing Cats!

Lately, we've been receiving a number of emails from many of our Animals & Religion Network Community members telling us about feral cat colonies who have taken up residence at their faith organizations. What to do??? Perhaps these Foraging Felines have figured out where to go to get help. Well, we'll help YOU help those Kindred Kitties!

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Following are some GREAT ideas about what you can do to help feral cats:

1. National Feral Cat Day was October 16th, but you can get a head start by organizing some events in your community right now so that next year, you'll be an amazing resource on Feral Cat Day 2009! Click here for some ideas: Click Here

2. Check out Best Friends Feral Cat Resource Page for more information on how you can make a difference: Click Here

3. Recruit some faithful feral lovers from your faith organization and partner with your local animal shelter to support their efforts. Or consider partnering with them to stage a joint event --- talk to your faith leader and get the OK to invite some frisky feline adoption candidates over after your next service; perhaps they'll find a home with one of your faith organization's members!
