THE FURBALL: CATURDAY NIGHT FEVER was a blast! I donated this Bird in a Nest which raised $180.00 for the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. So many people gave generously to the all the silent and public auction items. Such a great cause and so much fun! If you need help with a feral cat population near you or you need to spay/neuter your own pets, call the FCCO.
