Seattle Area Feline Rescue launches emergency fundraiser to continue life-saving care

[BWdem4life]

SEATTLE — To ensure critical care and rescue efforts for felines across the region - Seattle Area Feline Rescue (SAFe Rescue) has launched an emergency fundraising campaign.

SAFe Rescue executive director Emily Sprong said a budget shortfall of $100,000 was caused by a combination of issues including ongoing staffing shortages, rising veterinary costs, and a difficult fundraising climate.

The rescue takes in homeless cats and kittens to provide care and help them find forever homes. In a typical year - SAFe Rescue will help 2,000 felines, including seniors and special needs cats, find homes.

Staff and volunteers are concerned the area's most vulnerable cats will be at risk.

1. Worth it!

Maybe a quick Christmas present in honor of someone special? Just a thought.
