Folsom Feline Rescue - CatWalk 2009

Walkers and Pet Lovers are Invited!

Folsom Feline Rescue held its annual walk-a-thon (CatWalk 2009) on Saturday, September 26. CatWalk is not a competitive event; it’s strictly for raising money for animal spay/neuter and having fun while doing it. Walkers begin their 5-K trek at 10:00 a.m. from the starting point on Sutter Street in Folsom.

Registration was in our normal location by the large parking lot near the Leidesdorff light rail station and across from the Folsom intersection of Sutter St. and Decatur St.

Balloons marked off the event registration area and the walk began promptly at 10:00 a.m. Friends and supporters of animal rescue, including canines, all participated in the walk and the weather was great for this years event.

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 with a genetic birth defect causing a breathing disorder that would eventually lead to his death. 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” thousands of cats and dogs in Folsom and the greater Sacramento county area, sparing communities thousands of unwanted litters and decreasing euthanasia rates.

Controlling pet overpopulation is a major goal of Folsom Feline Rescue. Thousands of unwanted cats and dogs are euthanized each year in Sacramento County alone. Each animal that we can spay or neuter prevents potential offspring (usually 4 to 6 puppies or kittens per season) from growing up and having yet more offspring of their own. Together as a community we can break the cycle of misery caused by pet overpopulation.
