One-day cat food drive to help feed homeless cats in Boston
The Animal Rescue League of Boston will host Cat Food Bank Day, a one-day cat food drive on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 to provide food for the homeless cats of Boston. The ARL will take donations of unopened wet or dry cat food 8:30 am to 6:30 pm in the lobby of organization’s Boston headquarters located at 10 Chandler Street in the South End.
All donations of cat food will defray the food cost associated with the on-going care of homeless cats in the community.

“Every day, dedicated feral cat community caretakers feed multiple cats living in areas around the city—often at their own expense,” explains Maryann Regan, director of shelter operations at the ARL.
Regan says cat food donations will go to feral cat caretakers in Boston, as well as ARL foster volunteers who provide one-on-one care to cats recovering from surgery or re-acclimating to life in a home prior to adoption.
