Good morning everyone:
First I would like to start off by thanking everyone who was able to attend our first volunteer meeting last night. Though the turn out was a little smaller than we had hoped, it was very successful. It looks as though we may have at least two new active volunteers that would like to help us with home visits. HURRAY.
We had a lot to cover and though I did try to "move it along" and fit as much as possible in a short period of time we still did not cover everything. There were many interested people that were not able to make it last night as well. Because of this, we have been asked and have decided to do it again. Please keep your eyes on our website for more information on when/where it may be.
I am sure that most of you have at least heard about the Abandoned Washington County cats/kittens. If not, we would be happy to fill you in and tell you all about them if you would like to contact us via email or phone call. So far we have successfully rescued 13 of the 30+ cats/kittens that were left on an abandoned property. If you can believe it, some are even pure breeds! All (of course) were not spayed/neutered and obviously not up to date on shots. All in our care have already been fully vetted and s/n and are currently looking for their new forever homes. You can see some of them (still more pictures of the others on the way) on our available cats link here on our website. We are planning on returning (as early as this weekend possibly) to help some of the others. We have a volunteer visiting the abandoned property each day to check in and make sure they have food/water.
Currently we are seeking foster homes and/or forever homes for all of the cats/kittens that will be coming to us soon. Our foster homes are brimming at this time and we are only able to continue to help if we have placement for them. PLEASE contact us if you would like more information and/or are interested in helping us help them.
Our Second Annual Benefit Yard Sale is next weekend........ Oct. 17th & 18th. This year it will be held at Maple Ski Ridge. 9am-4pm each day. We are currently seeking volunteers to help with set up on Friday after noon and Sat morning, during the sale and Sunday/Monday to tear down. We are also asking anyone with pick-up trucks to contact us if they are able to help us after the event take all left over items to the Salvation Army, Good Will, Things of my Very Own and if nessasary a dump run as well.
Anyone interested in donating items for our sale can do so by APPOINTMENT ONLY by calling us at: 356-1100 or email. All donated items must be in clean gently used condition. (we don't mean to be "picky" but please no rotting grills or boxes that may have "nests" or "droppings" in them. you get the idea.)
I guess that is all for now. Again thank you to all that attended last nights meeting and we look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Have a great day everyone!
