I run a trap/neuter/return org. and we need $ for spay/neuter, food, etc. Please help.

This has been my full-time job (and so well paid...LOL!) since 2017. In fact, we incorporated the day Dump took office. I will never forget!

ANYWAY... since then we have TNR'd almost 700 cats in our 3 towns of East Point, College Park and Hapeville, GA. We are lodged right next to the world's busiest airport, ATL.

In addition to TNR, we maintain sixteen colonies that have between 2 and 12 cats each. Food is expensive, as you all know!

We use local vets who give us a discount but the bills are ... I don't need to tell you.

We have about 35 volunteers who give of their time, gas, food donations.

We are a 501(c)(3) and donations are tax deductible.

If you are on Facebook, I'm running a Birthday Fundraiser. (Yes, next week I'll be ... 29 again! LOL. Nope, 72!) (BTW, FB does not take any % of donations: they just hold it 45 days to make their $) The link is here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/683666322898469/5043321495758206/

If you are not on FB or prefer to donate directly you can use this link to donate via credit card, PayPal or Venmo or check: https://givebutter.com/mbi5Ba

Our website is here: https://www.tricitiesfriendsofkitties.org

We and our kitties thank you!

BTW, this is the 'April' photo on our 2022 calendar. This is not me... Bo is a friend, neighbor and obviously a kitty fan!

Good luck! You are doing wonderfully work and are a woefully underpaid in currency but no doubt rich in kitty cuddles.

The gift card will be well used!
