Petsravaganza!

CATsNAP participated in the annual Petstravaganza event put together by the University of Illinois this afternoon.  We were able to educate lots of kids about the importance of spaying and neutering their animals.  There was a lot of interest from adults about volunteer and fostering opportunities.  We also received a large amount of much needed donations in the form of canned and dry food as well as litter and other supplies.  

Thank you Linda, Lori, Sue, Susan and Jim for all of your help today! 

Meet Bengie!

Meet Bengie.  He is a beautiful, 2 year old tabby boy.  Catsnap took in Bengie when he was a tiny kitten and was very sick.  He still has some residual health issues from his life outside and is susceptible to upper respiratory infections.  Bengie isn't contagious, he's just a bit wheezy and can get a bit sneezy when stressed out.  Bengie's mom is moving out of the country in a few months, and because of his health issues, isn't able to go with her.  

Bengie will need to be an indoor only cat, fed a high quality diet and daily lysine.  He has been give the all clear for adoption by the awesome vets at VCA.   Bengie currently lives with another cat, but would do fine as an only cat or with another low-key feline. 

Please contact us is you are interest in meeting Bengie or have some more questions about this special guy. 

Adoption Update: Punkin and Peaches

We just got an update from the woman who adopted Punkin and Peaches from us last year.  The girls look they are doing really well and love their new family- 

My husband and I adopted princess (now punkin) and peaches last August from you guys and we just love them.  they just had their first birthday and I thought you might like a couple of pictures of them.  they are still the sweetest cats ever.  Can you believe they are almost the perfect cats (other than peaches playing at 4am---nipping at our legs and feet under the covers!).  We just love them.  They are so spoiled---I just bought a new, bigger kitty condo for them.  I can't wait to see them play on it.

Thanks again for the girls.  They are great company.

Doodle, Cody and Friends

It's hard to believe that little Doodle is going to be a year old soon.  She is all grown up now, but still as pretty as always.   She's so big now, but I still picture her as the little 1.5 lb kitten that loved everybody she met.  

Their mom says she and Cody are still doing great and loving life.  They're doing wonderful with their kitty siblings and have the happy ending every cat deserves.

Roscoe and Iggy

I just can't get enough of pictures of former CATsNAP cats.  Here's two more of Iggy (top) and Roscoe (bottom).  These photos are just beautiful - they look like they could be in a magazine. 

I've received a few more of other cats in the last couple of days.  I'll have them posted within the next few days.

Alpha Phi Omega

We've been very fortunate to have had Alpha Phi Omega National Service Co-Ed Fraternity help us out with fundraising. They have just finished a 'Canning for Catsnap' event on campus and helped raise over $160 in just a few days! The money will go towards our spay and neuter program and will help to reduce the number of homeless kittens born this spring.

Big 'thank you' to everyone at Alpha Phi Omega. We look forward to working with you in the future!

U of I Vet Med

Here's a couple of pictures from the U of I Vet Med Open House last Saturday.  It was a busy event and there were lots of people there.  Who can resist Hello Kitty?  CATsNAP has fantastic volunteers!  

April is Here!

April is here and the CATsNAP cats are back in the Petsmart adoption center!

We also have several events taking place this month. We'll be at the U of I Vet School Open House this Saturday from 9-2 and Petstravaganza Saturday, April 25 from 9-2.

Just as a heads up, we'll be at the Urbana Farmer's Market beginning in May (about 1-2 times a month all summer) and we will be having a 'food drive' garage sale May 16 and May 23 in Champaign. If you are interested in helping out in either the garage sale or the farmer's market, let me know, I've got a list going.

We're getting ready for the busy kitten season ahead. Hopefully, we'll have lots of wonderful adoptions that follow!
