[PER] Help our military have their pets to come home to....

On September 23rd, 2001, Operation Noble Foster was officially launched to provide temporary foster homes for military and paramilitary owned cats. At the same time, we suggested and encouraged NetPets.org to provide a similar service for non-cat pets.  Since that time more than 6000 people have signed up with Operation Noble Foster to volunteer to foster cats and more than 4500 military owned cats have been fostered.  The military owners have been thankful and our foster volunteers are proud to have made it possible for there to be many happy reunions after their service.

At this time, the need for this service continues unabated. We do need many more fosters to handle the steady flow as some previous volunteers have had life changes precluding their continued participation. In addition, to help advertise the service, we need to print more of our brochures and send them to volunteers who will distribute them in their area or at cat shows. Here's how YOU can help:

SPREAD THE WORD - Let us know if you are willing to distribute our flyers and pamphlets. We may ship pamphlets to you or send you a pdf of the flyer to print out. You can also put the ONF logo and link on your website!  (see : http://operationnoblefoster.org/donate.htm for how to do that)

FOSTERING - If you are considering volunteering to foster for 1-24 months, you will find more information here:

           FAQ: http://operationnoblefoster.org/foster.htm

           SIGN UP TO FOSTER: http://www.operationnoblefoster.org/add.html

DONATE:  It will cost approximately $350 for 1000 new pamphlets including shipping. The pamphlets have been an extraordinary help in signing up volunteers to foster. Please help us print more as we are down to our last 10 pamphlets.  In addition, we need your help with the cost of maintaining the website and database. All donations are tax deductible.
