Winn Feline Foundation: February 18, 2009
The Winn Feline Foundation has approved funding of our 2009 grant awards. Our team of outstanding veterinary consultants helped the Foundation select the best projects for funding, for a total of $127, 411.
In addition, the panel recommended a breed-specific project for Persians on evaluating the severity of polycystic kidney disease that we hope will excite breeders & owners and enable us to attract additional funding of approximately $6800. While many breeders are breeding away from the mutation that causes PKD, there are many cats who carry it who could benefit from this research. The Persian breed has been used as an outcross by many breeds throughout the history of CFA, so other breeds may benefit from this research as well.
Individual donors, clubs, organizations or companies may donate to this research. To make a donation go the Winn Feline Foundation web site at: http://www.winnfelinehealth.org/Pages/MakeDonation.html. For web site donations we have an option in the drop down list for PKD, so please specify that fund so we ensure the money goes to the right place.
You can also mail in your donation. Please make your check payable to the Winn Feline Foundation, note in the memo portion of your check "PKD" and mail it to: Winn Feline Foundation, 1805 Atlantic Ave, P. O. Box 1005, Manasquan, NJ 08736-0805
