Cat Action Team Information Fundraisers
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!
A woman saved the money she would normally have spent at coffee shops, and then used the money to buy cat food for colony cats.
Thank you!

CanFel Foundation
In late 2015, the Cat Action Team received a grant from the CanFel Foundation, which helped us (and continues to help us) reach out to communities throughout PEI via the various brochures and posters that were produced.
The brochures and posters helped to inform the public about the Cat Action Team and how we could assist with barn, feral or stray cats, provided information about the importance of spaying/neutering and not abandoning, and to connect with new volunteers and members.
The banners provide the Cat Action Team with more visibility at various venues and the Banner Bugs provide eye-catching information about our charitable organization.
Our thanks to the CanFel Foundation for providing us with this grant.
“The CanFel Foundation is a registered charity designated as a public foundation. It was established and generously funded by the late Sandra Bond in support of animal welfare.
Sandra Bond was a businesswoman who made her home in Guelph, Ontario. She was an early and passionate advocate for animal welfare; she particularly supported programs designed to instill humane values in children and spay and neuter programs designed to reduce the number of unwanted companion animals.”
