Walkers and Pet Lovers are Invited!

Folsom Feline Rescue held its annual walk-a-thon (CatWalk 2008) on Saturday, September 20.  CatWalk is not a competitive event; it’s strictly for raising money for animal spay/neuter and having fun while doing it. Walkers began their 5-K trek at 10:00 a.m. from the starting point on Sutter Street in Folsom.

CatWalk registration fees and pledges will support Folsom Feline Rescue's spay and neuter programs for companion cats and dogs, as well as feral cats.. 

Balloons marked off the registration area.  The walk will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. and ended at approximately 11:30 a.m.  Friends and supporters of animal rescue were out to join in the fun – canine friends were included as well! 

The CatWalk fundraiser began in 2000 in hopes of raising money for a kitten’s cataract surgery.  Not only was enough money raised for Viktor, the kitten, to see again, but there was enough extra to provide surgery for another kitten with cataracts that came along later than year.

This year, Folsom Feline Rescue has been fortunate enough to help a kitten bitten by a rattlesnake and another kitten hit by a car.  Fundraisers like CatWalk allow this assistance to continue and also to fund spay/neuter programs, helping to control animal overpopulation in our local neighborhoods.  FFR’s programs have “fixed” over 3000 cats and dogs in Folsom and the greater Sacramento county area, sparing communities thousands of unwanted litters and decreasing euthanasia rates.
