I want to give a shout out in the universe to the tiny cat rescue group in my town called “Ferals In Peril.” I’m blown away by the work they’ve been doing. Just in the last several months, they have opened an adoption center which is called The Cat Cafe where anyone can go in for a small fee and hang out with some cats and have some coffee.
They recently did a program at the public library for kids about cat care.
They have been operating for several years.
They are now expanding their trap, neuter, and release program throughout our county…
This is a wonderful example of what a small and dedicated group of people can do, and that’s why I urge everyone to get familiar with a couple of the nonprofit groups in your community and give your money to them. The big national groups may or may not be any good, I don’t know, but some of these tiny ones are just amazing.

Same for our Bulldog Rescue group which has been going for nearly 15 years now. I’m on the board. I know how the money is spent. The idea of anyone making any money from this operation is laughable. And like many organizations, I fear for its longevity when the current director decides to step down.
I don’t mean this exclusively for animal welfare organizations, I mean it for any small organization in your local community. Local support is very important, and don’t funnel your money through United Way, just give directly.
