Tommy’s Feral Felines Easter Extravaganza

LEWISTON — Tommy’s Feral Felines will hold its Easter Extravaganza Bake Sale and Bottle Drive from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26, at Chapter 11 on Main Street.

Tommy’s can use as many bakers as possible so they would like to hear from anyone who can help by providing baked goods.

Tommy’s Feral Felines is an all-volunteer, no-kill organization which receives no official funding and relies solely on the donations and the income generated by its fundraising events.

Tommy’s staff works 365 days a year to support abandoned feral cats. In addition to feeding and sheltering the cats, Tommy’s provides spaying and neutering, vaccinations and other medical care to the animals, many of which are too many generations feral to be adopted.
