Annually, Co-op fuel stations across the country, including those in our area (Hanna, Linden, Drumheller) participate in Good Fuel Day where a portion of the sale of fuel goes to a non-profit group in the community.
This year, Westview Co-op partnered with two groups, KCS Animal Rescue Society from the Olds area, and Peggie’s Feline Rescue in the Drumheller area. Peggie Ginger from Peggie’s Feline Rescue is so thankful to be one of the beneficiaries of Good Fuel Day. “I’m ecstatic. The rescue needs funds. We need a new floor, we still need to pay our vet bills, we still need to pay our utility bills. Every dime that I have today, that I didn’t have yesterday, is a success.”
Peggie’s Feline Rescue has been involved with Good Fuel Day for a couple of years and the funds have been so very helpful to keep the animal rescue going. The funds raised last year were used towards paying the organization’s veterinarian bills.
As was mentioned in an earlier story, both the Drumheller Humane Society and Peggie’s Feline Rescue are at or near capacity. Ginger shares that there continues to be adoption opportunities and other ways to help. “Adopt a cat if you really want a pet. Please follow the bylaws in Drum, keep you pet inside or under control on your own property. Please have your pet spayed or neutered. We wouldn’t be full if there were not cats running around having babies. Come on down and visit with the kitties, that’s a help to0.”
