CAT’s mission is to work with our community to save the lives of homeless, sick and injured cats and kittens by offering shelter, adoption, foster, hospice, and veterinary services to end needless feline euthanasia in our community.
On a cold, crispy December morning (December 4, 2011), the Cat Food Bank opened knowing that today was going to be different.
Today was the day we handed out our 100,000th pound of cat food since opening the doors to the Cat Food Bank in June 2008.
The two hours flew by and by the end of the day, 3,916 pounds of dry cat food, 854 cans of wet food, and 821 pounds of litter (all that was donated) had been handed out to cat owners (for a grand total of 100,948.1 pounds). Our Cat Food Bank clients are struggling under the still present weakened economy, low job rate, and assistance programs that are running out.
While we celebrate the success of this program, knowing that it is meeting its mission to help cat owners keep their pet cats, we are saddened that 2011 was a record breaking year. A year when we handed out the most cat food ever.
This project is 100 percent donation driven. Every bag and can that is given away comes from generous animal lovers either through a direct donation of cat food or through a monetary donation to the food fund.
Without donations, the Cat Food Bank would close its doors to those hungry cats and owners in need.
