Craig Street Cats

Cat missing from Stiles

Yesterday I received a call from Toby, who lives on Stiles.  His cat has gone AWOL, and he would like to find her as soon as possible.  If you have seen her please let us know.

Well, our 2nd annual giant rummage and bake sale is now history, and it was a huge success!  There were a few little glitches, but it was loads of fun and we raised over $3,000 to care for the cats.  Thanks to everyone who came out to support us, and special thanks to the AMAZING volunteers who made it all happen.  Kudos to the staff at R.A. Steen C.C., for a great job and thank you for all your help.

Plans are already in the works for next year’s event.  The planning committee will start meeting in June.  If you would like to be part of this great team, please call 223-6652 and let us know.

Over the past 2 years many individuals and businesses have contributed to our success.  Their support is greatly appreciated, and I hope I have let them all know how very grateful I am for their help.

In addition to those many,  a few very generous businesses and business people have come forward to help Craig Street Cats on a larger scale.    I have often been so busy that I forget to thank them, so I’d like to take this opportunity to let you all know about some of the incredible supporters helping to keep us going.

• PetValu, Kenaston:  Thank you Sandy, for all your donations, and your ongoing support.
• Essex Top Crop:  Thanks to Gary and Candace for their timely delivery of a mountain of kitten food, and their ongoing support.
• Jeff Stern, ReMax Performance Realty:  Thanks to Jeff for his ongoing sponsorship of Craig Street Cats.
• Grower Direct Flowers, 939 Portage Ave.:  Debbie always has a promotion going to help us out.   Thanks Deb!
• Olive Garden:  thank you for the incredibly generous donation of spaghetti, sauce and salad for our Spay-ghetti Dinner.

Thanks to all of you for your incredible generosity.
