National Feral Cat Day, Oct. 15, is making up a group of events netting Maine’s Friends of Feral Felines (FoFF) a national Trailblazer Award with a $500 donation.

Alley Cat Allies honored FoFF is the first organization to create a Feral Cat Day event in Maine.  Alley Cat Allies started National Feral Cat Day in 2010 to promote greater recognition of the plight of feral cats. They were also the first organization to introduce and advocate for humane methods of feral cat care, particularly Trap-Neuter-Return, in the American animal protection community.
