DEAR SUN SPOTS: Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends is reaching out to ask for help with donations to purchase food and supplies. Every kitty and I would greatly appreciate any kindness.

We use special food and purchase our own. Please donate using PayPal at  https://www.tommysferalfelinefriends.com/ . Gift cards are great too. You can also mail a check to Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends, P.O. Box 274, Greene, ME 04236-0274. Please share and thank you! — No name, Greene

ANSWER: This organization cares for feral cats, paying for supplies, medical attention and other comforts for the kitties with your donations. The team is so special and they all have hearts of gold, caring for the felines in all kinds of harsh conditions.

Keep your eyes peeled for fundraisers that include fundraisers and bottle drives. If you need specific information, send a private message on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/tommysferalfelinefriends/ or write a note to the P.O.  box listed above.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I sent a letter to you but I haven’t seen it in the column yet. Why? — No name, no town

ANSWER: I’m not sure which letter you’re referring to, but I’ve noticed lately that a few letters have been sent that need to be retyped or reformatted so that may be holding things up. If a letter isn’t appropriate for Sun Spots, I let you know.

Sending jpg or PDF files takes extra time as they can’t copied, pasted and edited, nor can a copy of a poster. What works best is a simple email, with a WORD or Google document attached if needed.

The simpler the font and format the better. Please use sentence case capitalization and punctuation as this saves Ms. Sun Spots and the copy editors time. There isn’t space for photos. For handwritten letters, use the P.O. address shown below.

As a reminder, Sun Spots is not the place to send an opinion, a rant or complaint about a business, or anything political. I do my best to respond to your questions and concerns, and to share any items that help an area nonprofit with publicity for their fundraising events and other needs.

Please be sure to include your name and contact information so I can get back to you. If you’re donating something or looking for a service such as contract work, it’s especially important to let me know what town you live in so I can help you find someone close by.

This column is for you, our readers. It is for your questions and comments. There are only two rules: You must write to the column and sign your name. We won’t use it if you ask us not to. Please include your phone number. Letters will not be returned or answered by mail, and telephone calls will not be accepted. Your letters will appear as quickly as space allows. Address them to Sun Spots, P.O. Box 4400, Lewiston, ME 04243-4400. Inquiries can also be emailed to [email protected].
