The story behind Floyd and the Campaign

-

Who is Floyd?

Besides being a very lucky Maine Coon cat, Floyd participat­ed in several European and Internatio­nal cat shows and managed to achieve admirable results in just a few months. Confirmed by judges, these results were only an outcome of dedication, excellent grooming, exercise and an excellent health nutrition programme specific to his breed and needs and indubitabl­y lots of love from his owners, Nevise Borg Caligari and Pierre Borg. It is usually the custom at TICA cat shows, that with every final placing, the cat gets a reward in the form of food and treats. Floyd’s owners decided that since Floyd was lucky enough to be treated like a king, all his winnings in the form of cat food and treats would be donated to help abandoned animals. And that is how the Floyd campaign kicked off.

What is the purpose of The Floyd Campaign?

Floyd and other cats and dogs living with us at home are family members and are treated likewise. Sadly, not every cat and dog is provided with the same amount of love and care. Many animals (sometimes even pure breeds) are dumped in streets or in animal sanctuarie­s without food and a loving owner.

By means of this campaign, Floyd will be helping cats and dogs that are less fortunate through the following actions: • Providing better nutrition for cats and dogs in need • Providing better health and hygiene alternativ­es for cats and

dogs in need • Providing a better lifestyle for these cats and dogs in need • Creating more awareness towards the animal welfare community
