Weekend update

A big thank you to everyone who helped make our two community weekend events  successful - shoppers, supporters, volunteers. Between Apex Peak Fest and Meet in the Street, we made over $1,500 for the medical fund. That's a lot of catnip toys (other items were sold but the catnip toys made up at least 2/3 of the sales). People and kitties do love our catnip toys made with 100% organic leaf and flower catnip directly shipped to us. We have many repeat customers each year. THANK YOU!


Congratulations to the following cats/kittens who were adopted this weekend: Leo, Olive, and Ben.

Thank you to our adopters for adopting a rescue cat and to all adoption event volunteers.

Don't forget our Mother's Day specials:

Event Filled First Weekend in May

We have soooo much going on this weekend and several opportunities for you to come talk to our volunteers, buy catnip toys, learn about TNR and the work we do. Or, you know, adopt a new family member.

It's PetSmart National Adoption Weekend. That means if you've been thinking about adopting a cat or kitten, if you do it THIS WEEKEND, PetSmart will donate money to Alley Cats and Angels.

Yes, you adopt, they donate. You can donate too, of course. Every bit helps

Our adoption events this weekend will be from 11am-4pm Saturday and 1-4pm Sunday at PetSmart Knightdale

Two big, annual events are coming Saturday - Apex Peak Fest from 9am-4pm in Downtown Apex and Meet in the Street 9am-6pm Downtown Wake Forest.

 We will have handmade cat toys with organic catnip - it drives the kitties wild! Be sure to ask about the new types that crinkle!! 

Dobby's testing out the kickers. In case you were wondering, Dobby IS available for adoption. 

Here are some pictures of the very latest and greatest catnip toys. Look at all those fun shapes! Can't you just imagine your kitty flipping and pouncing on these wonton toys all afternoon?

 

Catnip Wontons - with jingly bells!

 

 Flippy little catnip mice with rope tails

 

These classic squares are always a favorite, and one of our best bargains.

 

 

Here is the Havana Kicker - kitties just love to dig their teeth in one end and bunny kick the other end with their feet in the air. Entertainment for the whole family.

Squeeee! The new Fortune Cookie style toy is super cute.

 

Looking for economy or smaller toys for the little kittens? These 5 packs of catnip knots are pure organic catnip filling, no stuffing. Most cats like to just carry these around or roll on them for a catnippy good time.

 These fun Jellyfish toys have exciting ribbons for your cat to twirl and chase.

  

 Check out the exciting new Crinkle Kickers! They rustle enticingly when kitty pokes at them.

 

And just in time for icy cold weather, these fleece Purr Pad sleeping mats will keep kitty and your upholstery happy!

Here's another example of some of the cute things you could get at the Mistletoe Market. These cute hats were donated for our fundraiser booth.

Here's a cute cloche style in  autumn colors

 This bright cotton hat is child sized and would make a great holiday gift.

 

If you need a little more panache, this lacy crocheted beret might be just your style.

Come on out from 9am to 4pm, at Wakefield High School to stock up on holiday gifts for family AND pets, or a little something for yourself.
