Marley Gets a New Home!

So I got a great bit of news from L last week, that Marley, the FIV+ cat we arranged to get to Pets Unlimited last fall finally got his own forever home! Yeah Marley, and to the people that adopted him, thank you! Love him forever!

Now, kitten season is quickly approaching. We just got our first litter of bottle babies last week. Early, too early. Hopefully though, all the hard work we've done in the community with the voucher program, and networking with Fix Our Ferals means that maybe this year we'll actually see a difference. It would be so nice. We did end the year on a positive note - being in New Park Mall over the holidays was fantastic. We sold a lot of our fundraising T shirts, had a bunch of adoptions, and are actually in a pretty good place right now. Our foster homes are getting a much needed break before kitten season, we just had a pretty good fundraiser, and we got an awesome deal on some brand new cat carriers yesterday at a store going out of business.

As we start to gear up for kitten season, I want to urge you to get out and volunteer if you can - even if you can't foster. In this economy everyone is hurting and we're all trying to take care of each other the best way we know how!
