Please vote daily at http://j.mp/cnpepsi. South Florida has an extreme homeless/stray cat problem. Due to year round warm temperatures, stray cats breed all year long. The situation is compounded by lack of funding for sterilization programs. There are an estimated 700,000 stray cats in the Greater Miami & Ft. Lauderdale areas. Most stray cats that wind up in shelters are euthanized due to lack of space and homes, even healthy adoptable ones.
In the past, The Cat Network has partnered with other local animal rescue groups to offer free spay/neuter days for free-roaming cats. In the last such event over 230 cats were sterilized. However, we need to offer more of these events to put a dent in the homeless cat population and euthanasia rate.
Winning the Pepsi Refresh challenge will enable us to once again partner with local animal rescue groups to offer 8 free spay/neuter days for free-roaming cats. 100% of the money would go directly to sterilizing homeless cats thus humanely reducing their population.
good luck from Holland!
