by Kris Haley, Manager of Multifaith Outreach, Best FriendsLately, 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!

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!
