Good news – we raised enough funds to make sure ‘Roman Brady’ has dog food for six months. We’ll use autoship, have it delivered to our pantry, and a helper will deliver using their own safety plans. It is not illegal to donate to support your neighbors. We hope you trust us to be smart, […]

UPDATE: Please read this post for an update on the pet food pantry being robbed. There are all sorts of winter shelters to help colony cats endure the worst weather.
