Dear Gloria,
Happy to help; I only wish I could afford more! Best of luck with this; I know how difficult fundraising is and grant proposals take time to write and time to process and there is no guarantee; meanwhile, kittens are being born.....
You might want to check out the 'humane fundraising' group on Yahoo. The mail volume is enormous, but the archives are filled with lots of different ideas for fundraising.
Take care; keeping my paws crossed....

If you can donate to help with this, go to www.teamfurr.org to contribute thru Paypal, and indicate that its for the NC cats.
If you have spay/neuter contacts in NC, let us know that too!
Rita, a rescue worker here in Arkansas, went home to Magnolia, Duplin County, North Carolina at Christmas. Magnolia's about 2 hours west of Raleigh. She discovered that her sister was feeding some 20 cats daily on her property. Most were ready to give birth in early January. Naturally, Rita freaked out.
Rita contacted some North Carolina rescue groups there but had little luck finding help. She did find one volunteer who's helping but works for animal control in Wilmington. She sent out letters to nearby NC vets, and found a couple of NC vets who will help with this project.
Keep in mind we're about 1000 miles away from NC. And, the rescues tend to work with the larger cities, so the county where the cats are has no assistance or information about ferals and strays.
Feline Rescue and Rehome (FuRR) appreciates any help you can give. It will probably cost $1,500 to $2,000 to spay and neuter all these cats in North Carolina. Should we by any chance collect more than needed, the remainder will go to FuRR, who runs a monthly spay-neuter clinic in Little Rock, Arkansas. FuRR is a 501-c3 organization, so tax deductible.
Again, go to www.teamfurr.org for a Paypal link and our mailing address. Please indicate that it's for the NC cats!
Thanks so much!
Gloria

If you're thinking about de-clawing your cat, you need to re-think your decision to acquire a pet.
