What' New Pussycat?



The lady and another cat project volunteer worked a craft sale on Saturday to raise funds for TNR. They had a great time, did a lot of outreach, sold lots of note cards and some art prints too! 100% of the proceeds went to the cat project. They raised around $240.00 to help spay/neuter the homeless cats in our town. The most popular note cards at the sale were the ones featuring Saylor.

Also, last Friday, 22 homeless cats were driven to Spay Today (about 1.5 hours away) and were spayed/neutered, vaccinated and ear-tipped. The lady didn't take this trip because she had to work, but she helped trap them and release them. 22 more cats who no longer have the ability to reproduce! Yay!

We're not surprised that the Saylor pictures were popular, either! Mama is partial to the owl ones, too. Great job on the TNR--although that grey kitty looks so scared.
