I met a couple of members of this group at one of their fundraising yard sales and found them to be such lovely people. They have assisted my aging feral/stray cats with food. They are so very appreciated! Most of my kitties are older ones that were left by families who moved out of their homes and are now living their retirement years with me. The food donations make it so I can spend on the kitties vet care etc... as they are aging and many have dental issues. Thank you so much WEP!!!!
