Thank you
The past month has been just a little overwhelming. Craig Street Cats has been the recipient of some tremendous acts of generosity and kindness, and I would like to say “thank you” to everyone that has contributed food, supplies, money, time and effort to help us out.
Like the young couple who decided that they would rather make a donation to Craig Street Cats than give each other Christmas gifts. Thank you.
Like the expectant mother who dropped off the largest donation we’ve ever had. Thank you.
Like the people who see me at our information table in Sobeys, or at craft shows and run over to hand me money “for your kitties”. Thank you.
Like the people who drop things off anonymously, while I’m not home. Thank you.
Like the children who put their candy money in our donation cans instead of buying candy. Thank you.
Like the amazing volunteers who chauffeur the cats, and me, around because I don’t have a car. Thank you.
Like the people who have sent cheques or donated online to help the cats. Thank you.
Like the pet store that has put out a bin and asked customers to donate food and supplies for the cats. Thank you.
Because of all these people and all their amazing acts of generosity, we are in a much better position than we were a month ago. Although we are still struggling, most of our bills are current, we have been able to put out 3 more shelters, we have materials on hand for at least 5 more shelters, and there is about a 2 week supply of food and litter on hand. There’s even enough to make sure the cats get turkey for Christmas 
Our next hurdle is raising enough money to pay spay / neuter fees for the 20 kittens currently in care. Somehow I just know we’ll do it.
Thank you.
Stumble It!
