Feral cats need help - coyotes

Can you help us?   Our no-kill shelter is attempting to build a feral cat sanctuary due to many coyotes in the area.  Feral or community cats are those without a home who may have been born in the wild or discarded by people no longer wanting them.  Five years ago  we were donated 18 acres of land and we are now attempting to develop it.   We raised enough money to finish about one-third of our building which is divided into 4 rooms, a work room and an isolation room.  All rooms have access
to an outside run and are heated.  Since the picture was put up we have also put totally enclosed fencing around the finished portion of the building.  We are now trying to raise $5K to continue to build in the "carport" section.

The main focus of this entire building is to provide a home for feral cats who cannot be returned to their original colonies due to construction, mobile home parks being closed and other reasons their homes are destroyed.   Other feral cats are returned to where they were picked up after spay/neuter.

Currently each day we feed about40 feral cats in Snohomish County, WA. and about 60 feral cats in King County, WA.   All have been spayed/neutered.  However, there are many more.  We also hope to eventually do free spay/neuter of feral cats when this area is completed. 

We are an IRS 501(c)(3), so your donation is tax deductible.   We rely mainly on the generosity of private parties to keep going.  We have been in business since 1997.   We really need your help with this project as people generally are not interested in helping feral and community cats so they are picked up by animal control and euthanized.  Thank you so very much for caring.
