The City of Fallon Animal Shelter, along with Chief of Police Kris Alexander during the last City Council meeting, recognized Pat McKeown for her dedication to the cats of Fallon. Pat has rescued hundreds of cats from the shelter over the past few years and made the number of cats euthanized at the shelter almost zero. The feral cats have gone to the Feline Adoption and Welfare Group, known as FAWG, and the friendly cats are transported by Pat to other rescue groups in the area.

FAWG will be holding the next adoption event on Saturday, January 8 at the Kitty Shack located at 4677 Reno Highway next to Fallon Floors. In addition, donations of cat or kitten food can be dropped off as well from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Contact 775-217-4745 for more information.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
