Christmas Float wins Fifth Place
The Sterile Feral Junior Volunteer League was very
proud to participate in the 175th Rome Christmas
Parade.  This year’s theme was “An Anniversary
Christmas – Celebrating 175 Years of Christmas in
Rome.” With over 100 floats entered in this year’s
parade the Sterile Feral Christmas Float won 5th place
in the adult category thanks to all of the hard work of the
Sterile Feral Junior Volunteer League, Mary Kate
McCaffery, and TSF volunteers.

This marks the first year the Sterile Feral has
participated in the parade which coincides with the
Sterile Feral’s Ten Year Anniversary.  The float was a
white fluffy cat surrounded by children and rescued dogs.  
The Sterile Feral message of spay and neuter your pets was spread to over an estimated 15,000 watching the parade.

Sterile Feral Starts TSF Junior Volunteer League
In November, TSF held the first official meeting of The Sterile Feral Junior Volunteer
League.   Led by co-founder Mary Kate McCaffrey, the Junior Volunteer League is
meeting at 9 am on the first Saturday of every month to plan and participate in quarterly
projects.   Look for their first official project during the Rome Christmas parade!

The Sterile Feral has always had unofficial junior volunteers; Aubrey, Michaela,
and Maddie have logged more hours at the clinic than many of our adult volunteers.  
In October, Taylor recruited friends and designed a booth for the fair that won a ribbon!  
With so many fabulous young people already involved, Mary Kate started reflecting on ten years of work with TSF.  
All of this lead her to the realization that ten years of working with feral cats will wear your
butt out!  

Always a woman of action, she decided the best way to address this  problem was with a group specifically aimed at
grooming our next generation of volunteers.  

For information about upcoming projects or to join the Junior Volunteer League,
call Mary Kate at 706-676-1672.

PAWS FOR THE CAUSE - 2009!
Volunteers have painted 50 paws on the front of the thrift store at
718 Kingston Avenue which is located directly across the street from
Eastview Cemetery. It is a heavily traveled road.

We are asking our supporters to sponsor a paw for an animal that
has been rescued by "The Sterile Feral, Inc." The more sponsorships
we have, the more lives we save. With the economy in its current state
and so many rescue organizations closing their doors, we are bound
and determined to help more pets that are being surrendered due
to owner surrenders and lack of funds for spay/neuter.

Your name or comment will be displayed in black on the paw to show your  support. The cost of sponsorship is $100 per
paw.  Please send check or money order to:

The Sterile Feral, Inc.
3 Central Plaza, PMB 210
Rome, GA 30161
( please note "Paws for a Cause".)

You can also make payment through our paypal site at www.paypal.com to email address tsfinfo@bellsouth.net. Again,
please note "Paws for the Cause".

Once we fill up all 50 paws, we will put our volunteers to work on painting more paws on untouched areas of the buildings.  
Sponsorship will be from the day that your paw displays your name/comment and will be good for 1 year.

Please help us reach our goal of $5000 which is desperately needed to help so many homeless and unaltered pets.
