Feed the Ferals: Cat Food Appeal

The Cat Action Team provides food where needed, thanks to the generous donations of cat food, or funds donated for cat food, from Island residents.

Donations of cat food are distributed to a number of cat colonies throughout the province – colonies that have no one caring for them, as well as to some of the caretakers who need assistance in feeding their colony cats.

Would you like to help the colony cats, too?

If so, some suggestions to consider:

Donate cat food
Donate opened bags of cat food
A cat food collection drive at your school, business or in your community
Monetary donations (do you still have pennies and wondering what to do with them?)
Gift cards, Canadian Tire “money”
Business owners/managers: permit an in-store cat food collection bin, donate bags or cans of cat food that have been damaged or close to expiry

To donate or in need of further information, please contact the “Feed the Ferals” co-ordinators Paula Connolly at paulamconnolly@eastlink.ca (or call 902-368-2216), or Vicky Smith at catactionpei@gmail.com.

An in-kind donation receipt may be obtained by providing the sales receipt for the cat food along with your full name and mailing address.

Blue Ribbon Pet Supply of Charlottetown, PEI made a donation of over 150 bags of cat treats to Paula Connolly, a co-ordinator of CAT’s “Feed the Ferals” program.

Pet Valu, Summerside, fund-raised for the Cat Action Team throughout the month of April, including a special event on the 18th that included pet nail-trimming and a self-serve dog wash. This store and its staff’s efforts in support of PEI’s community cats is greatly appreciated.

The Cat Action Team and the co-ordinators of The Donna Hickox Feed the Ferals Program would like to thank Pet Valu, Staff and customers for your very generous donations of cat food and gift cards during a recent month-long fundraiser. Your kindness will provide meals for many outdoor cats.

Thank you for your support!
