New Programs Fundraisers, & Adoptables

Hi All!

Well, there's a lot of wonderful new programs and fundraisers happening now. I will post individual blogs on each of the new fundraising campaigns here, but here is a list of new things happening till now.



Operation Cat-Snip:
We have launched "Operation Cat Snip" - A Pet Over-Population Control Program, and are now accepting applications for the program. HRM has far too many homeless cats. Every case started with a human being who did not spay or neuter their pet cat. If the cat has kittens outside, they grow up feral (wild) and continue to breed until there is a colony of cats trying to survive in horrible conditions. Spaying and neutering could prevent this cycle. We are offering a subsidized spay/neuter program for low-income citizens of HRM an opportunity to "fix" their cat through "Operation Cat Snip"


PartyLite Fundraising Campaign:
One of our adopters, has started a wonderful fundraising campaign for the month of February, 2010. Jennifer Williams is a PartyLite consultant, and is raising funds through the purchase of PartyLite products. 25% of all proceeds will be donated to Healing Animal SCARS - Sonya's Cat and Animal Rescue Society.


Dance and Auction:
On March 27 there will be a dance & silent auction, to raise more funds for our cat rescue. Daisy M DJ is holding a dance at the Fleet Club @ 7:30. The cost is a mere $5.00 a ticket, which also gives you a chance for a door prize. Drinks are cheap, music will be great. So, come out and have a good time for the cause!


Lefty Needs A Caring, Understanding Furr-ever Home
We rescued Lefty, a domestic which short hair boy on January 13th, from the Superstore colony that has been established. He is unfortunately, & obviously not part of the family of feral cats in that colony. He's not been accepted into that colony, suffering from bite wounds on all four of his limbs and feet, from the other cats. At the vet, the staff commented that "it's like he just stuck out his legs & let them gnaw on them."  He also has a broken tooth, and fractured tail.


Lefty was brought to the vet on January 14th, treated for wounds, tested negative for Feline Leukemia & FIV. We've made a makeshift large kennel for him to stretch his legs a little, and so the litter box wouldn't crowd him. He was formerly tame, and now is a depressed little man, who we know there's no way we can return him to his miserable life on the streets. In fact, the vet told us that Lefty wouldn't have lived long, if he hadn't been rescued. 


Lefty desparately needs a dedicated owner, someone who is willing to take the time Lefty needs in order to trust humans again. He allows me to scratch his chin now, even drooling in my hand. He's up to date on his vaccinations, and is neutered. Please consider adopting this lovely, shy boy.
