Phaedra & Phriends

Phaedra & Phriends Representing Disabled/Special Needs Pets as disabled does not mean disposable. To quote a FB friend: "Blindness is their ABILITY not their disability."

(We also helped feral cats in our mobile home park that desperately needed care, by promoting a TNR program) http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=gno_listpop_wi Phaedra & Phriends is designed to share the love we have of our blind cats "Phaedra, Keller, Joker & Geordi" (plus the rest of our "special" kitties) with all animal lovers AND where those who may also have special needs animals

can share photos and their stories of their pets. Here is the link to an article written about Phaedra: http://peacelovenwhiskers.com/2012/08/11/animal-articles-meet-phaedra/

We started in a mobile home community within Holland, MI, and developed what we called (for lack of a better term): "Phaedra's Pherals". We supported the feral community that Phaedra was born into, by giving them food, shelter, and medical care. If left up to the management of the park, the cats would have been trapped and dispatched of. Most of that community lives on Social Security, Disability, or unemployment, which is what makes this task of helping so daunting and why we are in need of assistance. We have saved many feral kittens, seven of which are blind, and hope to be able to continue saving them and getting them in a TNR Program (trap, neuter, release). Anyone wanting to help "donate", we have two ways people can donate:

Donations can be sent via PayPal using our email address: [email protected]

Via Venmo:

Donations can also be directly sent via check (Make checks payable to Fred or Marty Hoewe) or cash to:

Wishing everyone a happy holiday. Stay safe out there, some of the weather is a bit precarious! We have extremely high winds so the “dog alarms” have been going off frequently! We have had no internet or cable for almost 10 hours and a lot of people just south of us have no power.
