It's raining kittens

Although for us single ladies, that's not quite as exciting as "it's raining men"! 

We adopted 1 kitten (Nappers) over the weekend and managed to take in 25.  Our reverse math seems to be getting worse every day.  However, each of these sets of kittens were in dire situations.   That means we have over 70 kittens in our adoption program.  Oh my....

We've been lucky enough to find more foster homes; however with this many taken in over the weekend, we do need more foster homes.

Thank you fosters, we love you and we couldn't continue to rescue without you.  Fostering is the cornerstone of our adoption program - it is vital to saving lives.  Fostering is a richly rewarding experience and provides you with the opportunity to make a huge difference in the lives of the cats/kittens you foster.  If you are interested in fostering, there is no better than than now to contact us.

Alter An Alley Cat Program

Alley Cats and Angels is a small organization, but we are a mighty one and we are absolutely committed to helping end cat overpopulation. To further this effort, we have established an Alter an Alley Cat fund which subsidizes or sponsors spay/neuters for cats owned by families on fixed/low incomes and for feral cats where there is no caregiver or the caregiver cannot afford to TNR the whole colony. As a small group, we have already sponsored over 40 spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations in the first four months of 2010.

We have identified several low-income areas which need a targeted spay/neuter effort, and we have been able to spay/neuter and vaccinate over 30 cats from these locations, however, we do not currently have the the funds to spay/neuter the remaining cats. Please help us sponsor spay/neuters for those that cannot afford it. Together, we can help end pet overpopulation.

Fantastic week in adoptions

We had an amazing adoption week/weekend.  Ten adoptions total -- two adults (Pepper and Yates) and eight kittens were adopted (Zander, Nantucket, Neptune, Nadia, Nayla, AJ, BJ, and CJ) were all adopted.

Of course we took in a bunch too!  We took in a mama and seven kittens from a local correctional facility.  And we took in four kittens born to a mama that we are assisting TNRing.

So we still have tons (we have approximately 60 kittens under 3 months old right now).

Handmade Cards

We are very fortunate to have a very talented scrapbooker and card maker as one of our volunteers. Jill make beautiful cards that we send for honorary and memorial donations. Each card has a matching lined envelope (lined by Jill) and matching inside graphic and a pawprint. Jill, your cards are fantastic. Below are just a few of the cards she's made for us.
