Carmen Dunn, right, president of the Feral and Abandoned Cat Society (FAACS), accepts a cat food donation from Sarah Penney of Sydney, during the five-year anniversary of the society on Nov. 5. “I used to volunteer with a lot of the cat rescues around here. I know that FAACS is the one that feeds the feral cats,” Penney said.
The Feral and Abandoned Cat Society (FAACS) is a registered charity that was founded in 2012 and is run entirely by volunteers. Our programs help prevent and humanely control homeless cat populations, improving the quality of life for cats and communities on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia.
The objectives of our society are to promote the welfare of animals for the benefit of the public by:
Operating a Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program
Providing a spay-neuter program for low-income cat owners
Educating the public on responsible pet ownership
To date, we have provided veterinary care to over 12,000 cats and have provided food and shelter to over 1,000 cats!
