Dear Friends and Supporters-
There were a lot of goals set this year for our rescue and all of those goals have been achieved.
To date, Friends has managed to house and re-home over 80 domestic cats and kittens; we have managed to trap and spay/neuter 96 feral animals since we began our own TNR program in March. Fifty four of those feral were female and 20 of those were pregnant. We trapped in Greenville, Quincy and Portola areas and absorbed all the costs for those surgeries.
Friends also initiated a countywide TNR program and that event, the Plumas Feral Spay-Neuter Project of October 14, was an overwhelming success with 2 veterinarians doing non stop surgeries for 12 hours and altering an additional 82 feral cats. Trappers from every town in the county came together and trapped , then volunteers worked all day alongside the veterinarians Dr. Merrill and Dr. Kelley to finalize this achievement. The costs (food, supplies, surgery, building rent, motels etc) were paid for by very generous donations from private citizens and the Lake Almanor Foundation, The Common Good Foundation and Bread for the Journey. Plans are already beginning to be made to repeat the Spay-Neuter Project- but this time with 3 vets and for possibly 2 days.
Volunteers spent many hours planning and working on the above 2 projects, all the while caring for the animals in house and keeping the rescue open to the public so our lovely animals can be seen and adopted into new loving homes.
Been a busy year.
We now need to focus on the needs of our physical building. Our first major project is getting funding for a new roof..our current composition roof will make it through winter, but it will need to be replaced in 2024. Estimates come in at about $16,000 for a metal roof and we are about $11,000 short right now. Baby steps to get to the goal, but we know it can be reached.
When we look at all we have achieved, with your financial help and support, it is truly amazing. The dream of owning our own building and making that old tired spot into the
fresh, clean and happy place it is now is a testament to what can be built together. Friends is a safe place for the animals and the volunteers- politics, religion, differences of opinion have no place in the everyday work of Friends. All the volunteers and the Board support each other totally and work solely for the good of the animals. I am so proud to be part of such a great team of people.
