Alley Cat Allies and Friends of Felines recently presented two workshops on "Helping Outdoor Cats" to the citizens and local government officials in McPherson and Wichita, Kansas. These workshops provided information on how local governments, veterinarians, and residents can work together to implement non-lethal, compassionate, and sensible solutions to reduce the number of outdoor cats while improving the cats' lives. A special thank-you to Pioneer Balloon in Wichita for the use of their facility, which made it possible for us to accommodate a 100+ crowd.
After the McPherson workshop, Alley Cat Allies presented Ray Huff, FOF president and founder, with a certificate of recognition for his work with the T-N-R program and assisting others with T-N-R. Great job, Ray! View Alley Cat Allies Certificate.
Friends of Felines offers public presentations regarding T-N-R and other feral cat issues free of charge to groups, animal control officers, city councils, etc. If your group is interested, contact us at info@felinefriendsks.com.
Wichita resident and animal lover, Joanne Clevenger (pictured left with FOF member Wayne Roberts), recently donated an 8' x 20' enclosed trailer to Friends of Felines. The donation was made in memory of Eldon and Melvin Clevenger.
Friends of Felines hope to obtain grants that will enable us to retrofit the inside of the trailer with the necessary medical equipment and supplies, and acquire a vehicle capable of pulling the trailer. The trailer will be used to as an emergency rescue unit during natural disasters such as the Greensburg tornado.
Ray Huff, Friends of Felines president said, "This provides us with a unique opportunity to be one of the few animal groups in the Midwest that has a unit of this type. It's something that's really needed. Thank-you to Ms. Clevenger for her most generous contribution to our efforts."
