"The greatness of a nation and it's moral progress can be judged by the way it's animals are treated"
- Ghandi
We have always been animal lovers. But we've really become avid animal lovers after taming and adopting 12 feral cats from behind the cafe over the years. They have brought us a lot of joy and entertainment and have taught us a lot about respecting the lives of all of God's creatures. We even travel with our cats in our RV in the winter and they are a blast!
No animal deserves to be mistreated or euthanized simply because they're unwanted. It's fundamentally immoral.
There are many great dedicated charities out there trying to make a difference when it comes to helping animals in need. They need our help. These are some of our favourite animal charities and others!
Our local Feral Cat Rescue
Friends of Felines - Cape Hatteras Island
Their mission is to end the overpopulation of feral cats on Hatteras Island with a trap, spay/neuter, vaccinate and return to a safe habitat program. The (TNR) program has been a success in many areas, practiced internationally and is far more successful then trap and kill programs. Please help them to provide a humane solution to this ongoing problem. We are feral cat advocates and believe that cats, as living creatures, have value and are entitled to ethical consideration and protection.
Please give to help curb the feral cat overpopulation on Hatteras Island. With your support, we can continue to act on behalf of the feral cats on Hatteras Island. Your donation will be used to protect and improve the lives of island cats.
Donations can be made to Friends of Felines-Cape Hatteras Island P.O. Box 310, Avon, NC 27915 .
All donations are tax deductible. We Thank You for Your Support.
