From tackybackintime (who
chose October's charity):
"Would you please make mention that I appreciate everyones help with the October Charity of the Month, Town Cats of Ocean City MD. I would like to thank everyone that promoted, donated, hearted and shopped the EFA shop during October. Their efforts will not only make this a banner month but also will show the outpouring of love and concern for the Feral Cat population around the world. I spoke to Jean, leader of Town Cats to tell her what we were doing and I don't think she really understood the scope of EFA until she was able to navigate the Etsy website! As of my conversation with her last evening she is so excited that this many people would not only care but take action to help out. She also extends her thank you to all everyone who participated."
