GREENE — Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends has had to forego its annual Christmas bake sale, its biggest fundraiser, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the cats that the organization helps still need the care and support it offers.
“I’ve been doing this for over 42 years and without a doubt its been the hardest time in my rescuing,” said Norm Blais, cofounder. “We would appreciate any compassion so we can continue to do what we love and do best — save lives.”
Tommy’s didn’t receive a stimulus check or CARES Act funding, and that mean more hardship for all Tommy’s feral kitties. Tommy’s welcomes financial support,as well as gift cards from Paris Farm Supply, PetSmart, Hannaford, PetCo, Wal-Mart and Amazon. Tommy’s is a no-kill rescue that takes in abandoned and abused cats, gives them medical care and provides safe shelter for them to live in.
The cats who live in colonies continue to be be resilient despite adversity, Blais said. Tommy’s provides medical and personal care for cats, including removal of tumors to repairing wounds; cancer treatment; annual checkups; special diet foods (homemade); dispensing daily medication, whether injections and or fluids with regular medication; dental care; emergency care; hospice care; special needs care; care for disabled kitties (mentally, physically, emotionally) and homeopathic care.
Any donaitons to go help the nonprofit organization’s mission to save the lives of the forgotten cats both in feral colonies and the ones that cross our paths ever day, Blais said.
“For the past 42 years, Tommy’s has been on a mission to save feline lives, and with the help and support of the community,” he said.
Donations may be sent to Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends, PO Box 274, Green ME 04236; or PayPal at tommysferalfelinefriends.com/donate. For more information, contact Norm Blais at normblais39@yahoo.com.
