Fundraising
Fundraising is essential to running our spay / neuter and foster / adoption programs. We are always looking for new ideas and would love to have your help!
Want to help fundraise but rather do it on your own? You can help raise money for FFN by planning your own mini-fundraiser! It’s really simple to do, and you’ll get a tax receipt for any donation over $20.
How it works
Simply choose one or more of the options below, or come up with your own idea! Let us know what you have planned and if you have any questions.
Create a Facebook Fundraiser
Wondering how to start a fundraiser on Facebook for your birthday, anniversary or special event? It’s easy… here are the steps.
In Facebook, click Fundraisers in the left menu of your news feed.
Click Select Nonprofit.
Type Feline Friends Network of Stratford in the Select Charity field. Our listing will appear – please click it.
You can enter any target amount you hope to raise and the date you want your fundraiser to end. Click Next.
Give your fundraiser a title, eg. ‘Harry’s Birthday Fundraiser for Feline Friends Network’. Under Why are you raising money? please Tag FFN by typing @Feline Friends Network of Stratford anywhere in the space. Our listing will appear underneath – please click it so that we are notified about your fundraiser. Click Next.
You’ll be prompted to pick a cover photo. You can use the default image, edit it or scroll down to look at more suggestions. Once you select one, click Create and you’re done!

Throw a Party!
Simply gather your friends as only you can, but instead of hostess gifts ask your guests to bring a donation to Feline Friends Network. Gather the donations in a fabulous bowl so your guests can see how their donations add up. Have available brochures about FFN so everyone can learn more about the charity!
Tarot Parties!
Invite guest over to learn more about themselves and their future! Be sure to tell your guests that the party is a fundraiser for Feline Friends! Let them know that the 15-minute readings are available for a minimum donation of $20. Not all your friends will want a reading – some may just want to join the party and donate to a great cause! (8 readings per party). Contact Pat Burnell at 519.271.0657 for more information or to arrange a Tarot Party.
Kids' Parties!
Have a little person who doesn’t need more stuff? One who wants to help out a great charity and teach their friends about giving? Hold a Birthday Party and ask guests to bring donations for FFN in lieu of gifts for the Birthday Boy or Girl. We can provide you with a 6” cat-themed cake (which we order & pay for, and you pick up in Stratford) in appreciation of your support! Donations can be made online through PayPal Giving Fund or Canada Helps, or collected on your special day! You can even give out FFN party favours! Contact info@felinefriends.ca for more info.
yard Sale!
Sell all your gently used items in a yard sale to benefit FFN. Simply gather your things, set them up in your yard, or driveway and sell them! You can even combine your items with friends, family and neighbours and do one big sale!
Kittybanks!
You can simply place a “kittybank” or bowl in your front hall and every time you walk by it toss your extra change into the bank. Once a month donated it to FFN!
