FORGOTTEN FELINES AND FIDOS, INC, Germansville. The shelter house and barn are home to about 150 felines on any given day, so the need to clean food bowls, wash linen, clean litter boxes, etc. is endless and is done daily including weekends and holidays. Some of our animals need to be socialized in a family/home setting, and sometimes we simply run out of space for our animals. An interview may be all that is separating you from a foster pet while we search for a forever family. Contact Mary Ann Schaeffer, 610-737-6851, fffvolunteer@verizon.net.
