Yes, ours has a community pantry, for the same reason. Anyone can come and get food.

The other donated foods are often re-donated to feral feeders who agree to participate in TNR.

Maybe she could check with some of the local larger rescue groups in her area to see if they might have extra food? They might not publicize it, we don't.

I seems like you have to be totally down and out to get any help, especially for animals. I can't get Medicaid because I am regularly paying a mortgage on a house and I desperately need dental work. So there you have it. The great American dream for those of us who actually are doing the right thing has turned into a nightmare. Can anyone help Karen with a donation of a gift card from a pet food supply store? That way she could save some of her hard earned money to make a down payment on something that she can drive to work and to her cat colonies every day, like she used to. She had just paid off the car she had when the transmission cracked. She didn't have air conditioning either and the windows stopped functioning. Needed another car even before the transmission went belly up. > > > Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors too! > > > > > > >________________________________ > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Felvtalk mailing list > Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org > > > _______________________________________________ > Felvtalk mailing list > Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
