My name is George Iliff and I own Smokeneck Farm and Garden/General Store in Southside, AL. There are people that walk amongst us who are angels to the feral cat colonies. I met one of those angels this week. His name is Mitchell Chastain and he lives in Gadsden, AL. Mitchell is a retired Marine and former Gadsden Police Officer who spends his nights driving around Etowah Co feeding about 22 feral cat colonies. He goes without most days and has even sacrificed his own health to make sure "his 200+ cats" are fed every night. Mitchell doesn't ask for help; he just goes about his business helping feral cats the best way he knows how. Having heard the stories of him sitting in a truck all night to try and catch feral cats that needed medical attention on multiple occasions, I feel that he deserves a little help. If anyone would like to donate a bag of cat food for Mitchell, I will purchase it at cost and give it to him. I would like to collect 150+ bags for him if anyone wants to help. I recently was able to get donations for 50 bags and they lasted about 1 month, and he is about out of cat food.

Thank you, Mitchell, for having a huge heart and for helping these little ferals, and thank you in advance for your consideration in helping Mitchell.
