Hi Friends of the Catty Shack,
It's been awhile since I have posted any news about the doins at the Shack so I think it's time!
We had Tiger Lily, Edith, Aurora, Victoria and Heart all adopted. Now that we have kittens, all the adults are getting adopted! Actually that's not true. We had 3 kittens and a mom adopted from foster.
Speaking of fosters, we have 9 hard working fosters this year and it is making all the difference. We started pulling kittens in off the street in May and just kept going. The fosters have made it possible for us to do that. We have seen right at 100 kittens this season already. We have pulled or are keeping an eye on the majority of them. Only a couple of groups have gone in a different direction because of sheer timing. Along with them have come moms who have been spayed, males that were hanging around and a few strays.
So many stories. The group with the deceased mother whose body we were able to test so the kittens could be cleared for FIV/FELV. Several calls with close to 20 cats each needing help. The lone kittens found wandering and put with others their own age. The 3 day old kitten who brought us a foster. The five 10 day old kittens found and bottle fed. The cats abandoned over a year ago, still waiting to be given a home. And they are still rolling in. We are working tirelessly to keep from having to TNR any kittens. We hate the thoughts of consigning any kitten to the short, dangerous life of the street and strive to hang onto them until we can bring them in.
We added battery operated lights on timers for a couple of rooms at the Shack and they
are a nice addition. They are hung up high so the cats can't reach them and add a homey touch.
We are in the process of printing up brochures to use for fund raising. They are beautifully designed, triple fold pages with lots of info. You will be seeing them soon!
We will be announcing a day to give the Shack a makeover also. We are aiming to do this in one day with lots of people. So if you would like to help, we will let you know. All materials are provided and we have a specific look we are aiming for.
We had magnetic car signs printed up for the Catty Shack and they are available at the Shack. They turned out nicely and were done by one of our volunteers.
We feted our volunteer, Paula, who lives in Missouri, at El Gato Azul and it was a fun celebration of her always coming to help while she is in AZ visiting her dad.
We also got listed on AdoptAShelter.com and you can order items through Amazon.smile or check our wishlist for items we need on Amazon.com.
We do have things in the works we can't talk about yet and some exciting news but that's for next time.
In the meantime we are rescuing cats and kittens!
Thank you for making this all possible,
Susan and The Catty Shack Volunteers and Kitties
