Alley Cats and Angels' Foster Program

Fostering is truly the cornerstone of our adoption program -- it is vital to saving lives.  Kitten season is upon us and we need foster homes.  Fostering will provide you with a lot of you and the cats/kittens you foster with a new start in life.

Zander

Remember Zander, the cute little guy with the really big abscesses?  Well, he's growing up and he is so sweet and still just as adorable as he was when we first got him.  He spent his first week at the PetSmart adoption center and got a lot of attention but no application in on him yet.  Zander and Jasper became buddies and so Zander went home with Jasper to be fostered.  Jasper is protective of Zander and despite the size difference, they love to play together.  Zander has come out of his shell and loves to play and talk and give and receive love.  He is all healed and doing great and looking for his forever home.

Zander today (well, last week):

Some of our new adults (all available for adoption)

Finally, heere's a picture of Quinn. Quinn was introduced a few blog posts ago. We took a picture of him from the side too so everyone can see how gorgeous his fur is.  He is still a bit shy but coming along nicely.  Quinn is a little over a year old.

Below is Lucky, the handsome boy found as a recent addition to a feral colony.  He is so sweet and he and Quinn have become friends.  Lucky is about 1.5-2 years old.

Picasso won't sit still enough for a photo but we'll get him one of these days!!  Picasso is about 11 months old and has some very dog-like personality traits. 

Below are Katie and Taffy.  Their owner was no longer able to keep them due to pet restrictions where they lived.  The girls are about 1 year old.

Our newest babies

Finally getting around to posting pictures of the Campbell kitties (alphabet soup - their names are AJ, BJ, and CJ!).  For the most part, they will not cooperate for pictures - little cute monkey monsters.  So the one looking away from the camera has a completely black face.  These cuties are about 7 weeks old now.

And here are our newest babies.  We took these cuties in tonight.  They were living under a trailer (different trailer park) and animal control got four of them but these two were hiding (thankfully).  Critter control business got them and found someone to take care of them until a rescue could take them in.  I wish we could have saved all of the babies.  These two are about 4.5 weeks old.  The brown tabby is a boy and the white one with the gray tabby spot on her head is female.  These munchkins cooperated for the camera. 

Week Update - adoption and rescue news

Darrin, our gorgeous 5-month old dark orange classic tabby was adopted yesterday.  And Usher was adopted (again) today.  We hope there are no allergies and that Usher will have found his forever home.

We were excited to check the mail Tuesday and find a $485 check from Petco (the Petco Brier Creek store selected us as one of the two organizations they selected to benefit from their Tree of Hope fundraiser -- big thank you to the Petco Brier Creek Manager, Jenn).  We also received some other great donations this week -- which is great because we have had some pretty large medical expenses lately, including testing for Zammie (we finally have a diagnosis, Zammie has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome).  We also received a fantastic donation for our Alter an Alley Cat fund, specifically for TNRing the over 20 ferals in the same trailer park the other 17 cats came from.  And we got some terrific items donated for our April 24th yard sale and some special items that we'll sell elsewhere such as ebay, etc.  Thank you donors.

We are very thankful for all of our supporters.  Whether you donate money or donate items for our yard sale, volunteer your time, help us in our TNR projects, adopt one of our friendly cats or take in a couple of high-risk ferals for your barn, or simply spread the word about our rescue, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  You help make a huge difference in the lives of the stray, abandoned, and feral cats in the Triangle (and beyond).
