Introduction/Orientation Meeting


The purpose of the Introduction/Orientation meeting is to get to know the participants, their situation, their experience, and their needs, and to explain the mission and goals, as well as some basic information about the methods that P.G.F.F. uses.

We discuss the reasons why P.G.F.F. was formed and incorporated in Maryland as a non-profit organization, how we go about rescuing cats using the Trap-Neuter-Release or Domesticate-Adopt approaches, and introduce the basics of natural healthcare.

These are the handouts that are distributed at the P.G.F.F. Introduction/Orientation Meetings.

This program tells how we try to have the highest possible degree of success.
