[h2]HELLO ANIMAL LOVERS! 🐱🐶[/h2]

Just as we informed you that we managed to contact the Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption and the transfer was sent, unfortunately, we still could not find a way to make a bank-to-bank transfer for the - Feral Feline Friends of East Tennessee.

We can't wait any longer, but the last $2000 USD will be transferred to another animal shelter and it's your choice which animal shelter will receive it. 😊

[h2]The rules are very simple:[/h2]

1. Action begins from April 15 and finishes on April 24.
   
2. You can sign up shelter only in this post, just write a comment
   
3. It is very important that the shelter has its bank account number on the page. We can only make a transfer from bank to bank.
   
4. The application form below:
   

• NAME OF AN ANIMAL SHELTER
  
• WEBSITE
  
• E-MAIL
  
• BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER
  

A nice addition will be information about why you chose this shelter or the history of this shelter. 😊
