SARANAC LAKE — An anonymous donor has given the Tri-Lakes Humane Society $25,000 to establish a Feline Welfare Fund.

The fund will benefit local cats, both those at the shelter waiting for homes and those in need in the community. The new fund will help the shelter purchase necessary medical supplies and pay for veterinary services, including spaying and neutering.

“We are deeply humbled by the generosity of this great gift. Shelters in our area always have significantly more cats than dogs,” said Carla M. Stroud, shelter director at the Tri-Lakes Humane Society. “Unfortunately, there just aren’t as many protections for cats as there are for dogs. This fund will help ensure that we can do more for cats in the Tri-Lakes region.”

For more information on the Feline Welfare Fund or how to contribute to Tri-Lakes Humane Society, email cms@trilakeshumanesociety.org or call 518-891-0017.

The Tri-Lakes Humane Society is a no-kill shelter located in Saranac Lake.
