Feline Friends Receives Spay/Neuter Grant Award from the Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies
Feline Friends received a $5000 grant award from The Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies ("The Federation"),
which enabled the completion of 137 spay/neuter surgeries for low-income residents. Feline Friends is pleased to be able to
partner with The Federation to provide these vital spay/neuter surgeries and improve the quality of life for animals and their
guardians in Thurston, Mason, Pierce, and Grays Harbor Counties.
The funds for this grant award are made possible by the sale of
Washington State "We love Our Pets" license plates (http://www.wafederation.com/node/41). In an effort to be proactive regarding
the pet overpopulation problem, revenue from the sale of these license plates have been earmarked through an agreement with the
State of Washington for actual spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in Washington State. Since 2007 the Federation has awarded
over $230,000 in license plate grant funds to qualifying animal welfare organizations throughout Washington State. This has enabled
the completion of nearly 9,000 spay/neuter surgeries.
We're Looking for a Home!
Feline Friends rescue work is supported entirely through fundraisers and the generosity of our supporters. Through the selfless giving of people like you, we opened the Cat House and Adoption Center (CHAC) in Spring 2005. CHAC serves as our office as well as a comfortable place for people to meet our rescue cats.
We've quickly outgrown our current facility and we're in the same position as the cats we rescue. We need a new home!
If you would like to donate property to Feline Friends, please contact us at
360.866.0599 or email us . Donating property to a non-profit like Feline Friends can provide you with the maximum legal tax benefits
allowed by law.
And, if you have not seen CHAC, please stop by during our open adoption hours for a visit. You'll be surprised by the clean, warm, stimulating environment we maintain. We're located at 6515 Sexton Dr, NW in Olympia.
