Cat Action Team Information Education Fundraisers
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.”

IAMS Eukanuba and Zoetis Canada
The Cat Action Team receives support from the following animal care companies:
IAMS Eukanuba Pet Food Company offered a monthly supply of cat food to feed feral colonies. Since June 2005, CAT has received approximately 2,500 pounds per year through IAMS Canada. Many feral colonies have benefited from this supply. IAMS also financially supports the Cat Action Team activities at the Atlantic Veterinary College. Since 2006, they have donated well over $15,000 to the AVC for use in CAT activities. Many thanks to Dr. David Kozuch of IAMS Eukanuba Canada.
Zoetis Canada (formerly Pfizer Animal Health Canada) donates pharmaceutical supplies to the CAT program at the Atlantic Veterinary College and other PEI clinics. Since 2006, they have given CAT $10,000 annually in product support. They donate vaccines (FVRCP and rabies), as well as some of the pain medication and anesthetic drugs used. They also supply Revolution™, a topical product that protects cats from certain intestinal worms, ear mites and fleas for one month. Many thanks to Zoetis Canada.
