WAYS TO HELP 2019

Post by purple_cat » Tue Apr 23, 2019 9:49 pm

Donations should be sent directly to FFRC at:
Friends of Felines Rescue Center / YOURNAME
14597 Power Dam Road
Defiance, OH 43512
U.S.A.
!! Please include your name on the mailing label so we know whom to thank !!
PLEASE SCROLL THROUGH THIS POST FOR WAYS TO HELP FFRC.
What does FFRC need in a year to operate? 20,000 Cans of food. That's right! Twenty THOUSAND cans of food! Add too that 10,000 Pounds of Cat Litter, Oh My! That's a lot of scooping!
A Ton of Dry Cat Food, 1,200 Jars of Meat Only Baby Food and 1,000 Packets of Treats for Center Kitties, Barnies, Covies, and Porchies too. We have not even added in the cleaning supplies, trash & paper products or office supplies that are needed & the basic maintenance costs like electricity. And of course we need to include the costs of spaying, neutering & the medical costs for each cat that arrives at FFRC.
AMAZON: Even if you can’t afford to give directly to FFRC you can still help. You can help us by using our referral link whenever you shop at Amazon. NOTE: You must use the direct Amazon link at:
https://www.fofrescue.org/ (NO bookmarks or your purchases will not be counted)... Please Use this link before you make any purchases for any shopping you do, whether it is for FFRC or not. Amazon makes a donation to FFRC based on your purchases. It will not add anything to your bill & all of your personal & shopping information is kept private & not shared with FFRC.
Use this Goodsearch link as another way to help FFRC & either do your normal online searches or to do your shopping from a very long list of stores. goodsearch.com/cause-selected/friends-of-felines-rescue-center
~Linda Kimble Long aka Goss has answered the question about how much Goodsearch/Goodbuy & Amazon contribute to FFRC. **If you are shopping at Amazon then the Amazon link gives back more than GoodSearch 1-2 percent vs 4-7 percent for Amazon link depending on what is purchased. When using the Amazon link on the FFRC site you will not see the total donated, Amazon is wacky sometimes they will credit partial sales and such depending on who is the merchant...so they don't show the donation amount to the buyers. If you are shopping at other stores, then use use Goodbuy! (Amazon will subtract a donation if an item is returned.
Thanks ~DebbiDear for the info)
