Food Donations Needed for Paraiso Felino Cat Shelter and Adoption Center Janina Erban - Paraiso Felino Cat Shelter | |
October 18, 2015 |
Just yesterday we had a catnip party. Now most people enjoy watching their cat or cats revel in the nip but try imagining 50 or 100 or even 150 cats having a "nip-in" in front of your eyes. It can be quite exciting and then of course very relaxing after every one is finished.
As our population grows so does the daily activity here at Paraiso Felino. More running, more climbing trees, more playing with someone's tail. Also there is more cleaning, more poop scooping and more feeding rounds to keep everyone fed and happy. The need for food is ever increasing.
For that reason the "Friends of Paraíso Felino" club was designed, to help provide food in a regular manner for over 270 cats who live at our no-kill refuge in San Juan. We are now using 9 - 11.5kg bags of Kirkland brand cat food a week at a cost of 3330 pesos (370 each).
Embracing the concept of "many hands make work light" we wish to invite "many" to collaborate by donating at least 1 bag of cat food or equivalent a month.
With 7 regular donators there is room for "many" more. We really need to get the club "out there" and give more people the opportunity to participate. We all have friends or family who would probably join if they knew more about Paraiso Felino and what we do. Sharing info can be as easy as a click on your iphone or tablet to Paraiso Felino. Our face book page (Paraiso Felino) has many pictures and updates as well.
There are also many different donation options for people in different situations:
OPTION 1- Drop off cat food in person at the shelter or Mercado Huanacaxtle La Cruz on Sunday's (also with Gina at Salon Diva's Bucerias)
OPTION 2 - Donate the equivalent in funds 370 pesos for each bag, $25US or $30CAD a month. Every month too much? Alternate with a friend, one month you, one month your friend.
OPTION 3 - Tri-annual: 1500 pesos, $100US or $125CAD Again, if it's too hard, get a friend to go halfers and neither one will have it too difficult.
OPTION 4 - At school or work every one puts in a dollar or so a month and you can send the total to the shelter. Really "many hands" can accomplish a lot.
OPTION 5 - Adopt a kitty or two from our shelter and lighten our load. This is also a very good way to help us as less mouths to feed means less financial stress.
*When sending money please send an email so we can confirm receipt of the donation.
We'll send periodic updates and many pictures of our residents and their activities.
