Hi! I’m Torie Beck and my 73-year-old mother has been taking in stray and feral cats for the last ten years. She has 8 indoor cats and 15 outdoor cats, with others that come to feed their hungry selves. A cat showed up a little over a month ago and gave birth to 5 kittens. They are 4 weeks old now, just starting to eat food, and they are the cutest little babies!

My mom, Pat Farnsworth, has always spayed and neutered all the cats that she takes care of, and that is extremely expensive but very important to do. Right now, there are five cats that need to be spayed or neutered, and when the babies get old enough, that’s five more.

My mom is on Social Security and has limited funds. She has such a big heart and loves all animals so much.
