I could have posted this sooner.  But, I knew people would be more interested in Colts than cats — even with Max staring you in the face.  Max is the honorary fundraising chairman of the Exotic Feline Rescue Center.  I made a brief appearance at Saturday’s EFRC fundraiser to introduce a WISH-TV contribution to the auction.  It gave me a chance to see Max and learn about the center.

The founder of the EFRC created the place to give a home to abandoned, abused, or neglected animals.  It opened with three cats in 1991.  Now, it has 205.  Jean Herrberg, the Assistant Director, said they “don’t buy, don’t sell, don’t breed.  Once a cat comes to us, it is a home for life.”  But, it’s also an expensive home.  Herrberg says the cats eat a lot of meat.  “We go through 3000 pounds a day.  So you need to be in farm country — where there are cows and calves and horses that die because they’re old, ill or injured.  Then, our driver can pick them up and we can process it for the cats.”

The link above will give you a link to photos of the center’s residents and more information about what the center does.  It’s quite a place for central Indiana!
