Weekend Events

We had a lot going on at CATsNAP this weekend in addition to several adoptions including Frisky, TT and Puffball. We also have an adoption pending for Charlie. I'm really hoping the adoptions continue strong through the rest of the month.

Two of our young volunteers, Wesley and Bridgette had their very own garage sale to raise money for us. They worked really hard on the first 'Kids for Kats event! They spent most of Friday night setting up and all day Saturday working the sale and helping Ms. Kitty attract customers to the sale. They raised $150 for cats! Wait to go, Bridgette and Wesley!




We also had a great time at the Urbana Farmer's Market. Both veterans and a brand new volunteer helped at the table.

A nice couple stopped in and donated a litter box, treats, beds and cleaning supplies to us. We are always in need of items like that for the cats. A woman also came to the table a wrote a very generous check of $25o to CATsNAP.

I can't even begin to say how much the kittens appreciate (and need) monetary and supply donations. Between the two events, we raised about $400. For a small rescue group, this money goes a long way. $400 will-
  • Spay / neuter 11 feral cats
  • Keep our resident diabetic, Berber with insulin and needles for almost a year
  • Provider litter for all of our foster moms for 4 months
  • Buy us enough lime dip to insure cats stay ringworm free over a year
  • Feed over two dozen kittens with canned food for a month
Every bit helps. Every dollar adds up and helps homeless animals in our community who rely on us to keep them safe and warm.
