• On a more personal note: I learned how fleeting life can be this past week when my precious, sweet cat Samantha died last Saturday. She always "helped" me with my this newsletter and other computer work. Today is especially sad without my loyal helper and friend. Please support Friends of Ferals in their untiring efforts to find homeless cats a permanent home. If you're looking for a cat, they are sure to have what you're looking for. Just give them a call.
