These people have more than just of love of cats, they have a calling. Only volunteers donate their time and resources the CNR of feral cats, and then maintain their colonies not just providing food, water and shelter, but often their only good human contact. They have spayed or neutered over 2,000 feral cats, preventing well over 10 BILLION unwanted homeless kittens.
Most charities pay themselves a huge salary first, and if their is anything left over it goes to their cause. Not Spots and Stripes. Every cent goes to the wild cats they care for where ever they may be. Some people have tried to take advantage of them, but they keep on going with their cats, doing what they can, when they can. They've earned my support, and they deserve yours as well. Probably 90% of their income comes from their Founders, the Lemkes, even though they are far from "rich."
When the hurricanes and the tsunami hit, before cashing my check they contacted me to ask if I would prefer to donate the money to help those victims. I was very pleasantly surprised by this refreshing concern for others when their own need was so great. My reply was to cash the check, I'd made arrangement to help the other victims. After some more deep contemplation, I sent them some more needed money just because of that willingness to give back. Who else do you know would risk turning away money like that? I can't think of a single one.
Please help them save wild cats big and small. No one else does it better or is more dedicated.
