the bottom line

Monday, July 26th, 2010

As of today, we have 21 kittens in care.

21 kittens that need food, litter, vaccinations, vet care, deworming, spay or neuter, toys, etc.

2 of the kittens are bottle babies.

4 of the kittens are in the process of being weaned

Formula for the 6 that need it will cost more than $5o0 over the next month.

Preparing the bunch of them for adoption will cost well over $2500.

We currently have no money to care for these babies.  Zip.  Without immediate cash donations we cannot provide for the cats and kittens currently in care, and will not be able to accept any more kittens.

The bottom line:  we are broke.  We cannot pay for anything.  Up to this point I have used my personal resources to cover short falls.  My personal resources are now gone.  Craig Street Cats can’t continue without immediate help.

Bittersweet week

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

This has been a bittersweet week of both good and bad news. 

The good news:  Friday has been adopted.  He went out to a great foster home several weeks ago, and his foster parents decided to adopt him.  I’m sure they’ll all be very happy.

The bad news:  BooBoo was put to sleep this week.  She had been refusing to eat, and the vet found a huge mass in her abdomen.  Surgery was an option, but there was a very low probability of success.  The kindest thing was to let her go.

January Summary

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

For a month when I was supposed to just keep the feeders full and count cats eating, January was incredibly busy.  A total of 7 cats were taken in for spay and neuter.  Since they were all in the house for several weeks before their surgeries, they cannot be released.  This means they are all in the house, being socialized, and available for adoption.  So, we now have 8 kittens and cats ready for their forever homes.

January also saw the beginning of what I hope will be a long relationship with the Health Sciences Center.  Once a week we have a table on the main floor by the coffee shop, where we spread the word about Craig Street Cats and do some fundraising.  We try to book Thursdays, but sometimes end up with a Tuesday.  So far we’ve booked Feb. 5, 12, and 19.  If you’re at HSC on any of those days, drop by and say hello.

Plans are under way for a major fundraising event in May.  We hope to hold a 2 day rummage / bake sale at R.A. Steen community center.  Details will be posted as soon as they are available.  LOTS of volunteers will be needed to organize and run this event.  If you can help, please call 223-6652, or email cats@wolseleygirl.com

Lucky

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

This is Lucky.  He lived in our front yard shelter for several months until he decided that it was just too cold to stay outside.  On a bitterly cold day he walked up to one of the neighbours and meowed at her.  She picked him up and brought him here.  Since then Lucky has been living in my office.  As you can see in the photo, he has quite a bit of wear and tear, but he’s a friendly boy with lots of love to give.  Lucky was neutered last week, and is available for adoption to a home where he will be an adored only pet.
