Goats for Cats!

Come out to hear The Ruthless Goats at the Iron Post on Saturday, January 30th from 6-9pm. Proceeds benefit CatSnap! See our Facebook event page.

Phoebe and Lila

CATsNAP alums 'pretending' that they don't like each other. Phoebe (maine coon) was trapped outside in a bad part of town and is around 10 years old. She is missing a few teeth and has an old foot injury from her time outside. Lila was trapped at a trailer park outside of town and was very sick when we first got her. They are both very lucky to be inside and well cared for.

Jonesie!!!

This just can't be the most comfortable position to fall asleep....

Bogey

No, this isn't a thinner Jonesie. This is golf cat, Bogey. A CATsNAP volunteer found him a few weeks ago after he had been abandoned at a local golf course. He's now warm, well-fed and neutered (hooray!).

I've been watching him for the last few days until his foster mom comes back from vacation. I love this cat!! I'm really hoping that someone will adopt him soon, 'cause I'm really liking me some Bogey. I've gotten quite attached to him. He loves to snuggle, loves other cats and dogs and is an all-around awesome cat.

Seriously, will someone please adopt this cat?

Resolutions for 2010

Jonesie wanted me to share his 2010 resolutions with everyone:

1. Lose those last stubborn 5 lbs

2. Find an awesome home

3. Nap more

So far, he's lost a 1/2 lb and continues to moniter his caloric intake. He had blood work last week to make sure his thyroid and blood sugar were at normal levels, and we're happy to report that he's as healthy as can be. He just needs a home. He gets along well with other cats and dogs, but not with very young children. He is front-declawed and has good litter box habits.

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun celebration last night. We moved all the cats from the Petsmart adoption center and into foster homes. 2009 was a successful and productive year for us and I am hoping for an even busier 2010! If volunteering is on your list of resolutions, consider volunteering for us! We always need people to foster, clean cages at Petsmart and trap feral cats.

We have an adorable special needs cat, 'Wiggles' that is looking for a forever home. She has a condition known as Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), also known as 'wobbly kitten syndrome.' It is not contagious and there is no cure (however, it does not get worse with age). It is generally caused from exposure to a viral infection (such as feline panleukopenia), poisoning or malnutrition during fetal development. She has a very mild form of the disease and she should lead a long, healthy life. She is very playful and gets along well with other cats.

Lionel and Mistletoe

Tomorrow is our last day at the Petsmart adoption center until February 1. We've had a *very* busy month and a lot of adoptions! I'm pretty sure all of the volunteers are ready for a break and the cats will enjoy going back into their foster homes where they'll have more room to run around. Cats can still be adopted from their foster homes during the months we are not at Petsmart.

As we've had quite a few adoptions this month, we've been able intake quite a few new cats that were in need of our help. Meet Mistletoe (dilute tortie) and Lionel (buff boy) who are about 16 weeks old. They are the nicest kittens and demand love and attention.

Also, thank you to all the volunteers who worked long hours during our 'Pictures with Santa' event last week. We received both monetary and food donations and helped get the word out about our program.
