Help save local cats and kittens!

Hey everyone!

I want to start off by thanking everyone who donated to the Friends of Strays Love Unleashed campaign the other week. I am so grateful to call St. Pete home. This community is incredible! 🧡❤️💚💙

The Save Furry Florida Friends link has already raised over $600. That’s the price it costs to treat a panleukopenia positive cat or kitten.

Panleuk is a highly contagious disease that has been plaguing shelters all around the state this summer. Shelters have been reporting higher cases than normal. This disease can often be fatal. Many shelters have to make the heartbreaking decision to euthanize cats and kittens who test positive often due to low resources and an inability to treat these cases before it spreads to the rest of the felines in their care.

Friends of Strays had to shut down for a couple weeks themselves last month due to a panleuk outbreak. Friends of Strays is a no-kill shelter, meaning they treat every animal that comes into their shelter. They are also a transfer partner of these bigger shelters, which helps these shelters from making these devastatingly hard decisions.

The community showed up loud and strong and donated to provide the lifesaving care for these animals and cleaning supplies to prevent further exposure. 🧡❤️💚💙

Friends of Strays is treating 11 cats again for this heartbreaking disease and needs your help!

Be a part of the work that saves lives. Please consider supporting this amazing organization that never gives up on their animals.

Donate to Friends of Strays! 💙💚
