FROM POTHOLDERS TO MASKS

For the safety of everyone, face masks should be worn in all public locations.  Face masks sewn by PFOA’s devoted potholder team are available now.  For your minimum suggested donation of $20.00, you receive one mask and one additional mask is donated to a person in need.  Your donation benefits our kitties and community – two worthy causes.

For more information, email Danette Grady at execdir.pfoa@gmail.com or call (360) 452-0414, ext. 3

THANK YOU!

Peninsula Friends of Animals thanks our community for your generous donations of dog and cat food for our Emergency Pet Food Bank to assist the needy animals in our community whose owners have been affected by loss of revenue due to the COVID-19 crisis. Your response has been overwhelming and most appreciated.

THANK YOU TO SEQUIM SUNRISE ROTARY CLUB

PFOA is deeply grateful to the members of the Sequim Sunrise Rotary Club who made and installed the shelving for our new donated Storage Shed – The Molly House.  We are now able to securely store items for the kitties as well as auction items and maintenance tools.

Our thanks to Cliff Brehan, Tom Schaafsma, Eric Mellow and Bud Davies.  All your hard work is appreciated and will be well utilized.

THANK YOU TO SCOUT TROOP 1498

Peninsula Friends of Animals thanks and gives accolades to Scout Troop 1498 and their project leader, Alec Shingleton. Alec’s love of cats and PFOA’s rescue mission led him to contact PFOA for their Scout project.  Several scouts joined him on the project – Fisher Jensen, Iain Thill, Emmanuel Gomez, Jared Bates, David Calderon, Rudy Franco, Ben Wright, James Mason, Zay Jones, Daisy Ryan and Ozzy Kramer.

With the help of these 11 scouts and friends, over the course of 4 days, beginning at 10 AM and ending at 3 PM, they completed several maintenance jobs – repairing play structures in the outside yards making them safe for kitties to play on, pressure washing outside play areas, pruning and removing large branches overhanging the yards, recovering fencing downed in snow storms as well as 60 metal posts and 200 stakes.  They also water proofed 2 outdoor cat houses and pulled a damaged canvas tent out of brush which had been downed in windstorm.

These scouts gifted us with their time and skills and are making a real difference in our community.
