Review for Fairchild , Birdsboro, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I cannot begin to praise Fairchild "Feral Friends" Foundation enough for all the hard work and compassion they put forth for cats in need. My mother and I have been caring for a feral colony outside of our house for about the past 10 years. What started out as feeding about 3 cats who would regularly come to our house, ending up growing into a colony of nearly 30. For years, we dealt with what felt like the never ending cycle of new kittens, and even new fully grown cats showing up, and we felt like it was a situation we would never get control of. Anyone who has ever cared for a colony of outdoor cats knows the struggles involved. After losing a whole litter of kittens to FeLV I knew something HAD to be done in order to make sure all of the cats we cared for were fixed and that there health needs were maintained. With Fairchild Foundation's clinics, and Dr. Fry's caring and professional service, we are now down to just 3 cats who are still in need of being sterilized. It's amazing the time, effort, care, professionalism, and compassion Dr. Fry and her volunteers put into the work they do, and I am endlessly grateful for the help they have provided to not only the colony I care for, but all the other many colonies in the area. Not only have they spayed and neutered our cats, they have provided wonderful advice on how to use drop-traps(for the hard to catch kitties), and early on provided us with birth control until we were able to get some of the higher reproducing cats to the clinic. If you are ever in need of any help involving feral cats, this is the first place I would go to, and the first I would recommend.
