Fundraiser Update

We were finally able to have our "Cattails" fundraiser on Saturday night. We had around 70 guests and 32 silent auction items. We raised around $1500.00, which is wonderful!! We are so thankful to those friends who donated items to our silent auction....BeadedTail, Casbah Kitten, Nip and Bones, Jake and Micah, Housecat Confidential, The Snippets, Meow Foundation, That's My Cat, just to name a few. $1500.00 will go a long way in our efforts to spay/neuter the free-roaming cats of our community. 560 cats and counting.......

Duncan Has a New Home!


Guess what..... "Duncan Don't Live Here" lives 3 houses down now! So, Duncan wasn't around at all yesterday. I thought, "he must have gone back home!" Well, not exactly, but he now has a forever home! Our neighbors called saying he had been at their house all day, just hanging out and playing with their small sons. When they called me (my number was on his tag) they were so excited when I told them he seemed to be homeless and needs a good home. They said they were already in love with him and wanted to keep him! I couldn't have gotten better news. It's a great family who recently lost their old black lab to cancer and they felt like God had sent Duncan to them. Now, he sleeps on their porch and also has access to the bottom floor of their house (garage/office space).....for now. Something tells me he'll be sleeping with the boys before too long! Tomorrow I will go over and treat him for fleas and bring over his bed and some cat milk. So happy for Duncan and his new forever family!!!!

Duncan Don't Live Here

Meet Duncan Don't Live Here or Duncan for short. Duncan has shown up on our wildlife camera for about a month now. However, on Friday night when we pulled up, he met us at the car and hasn't left the yard yet. He followed me all over the yard on Saturday. He is sleeping on the rocking chair on the front porch at night. I've put a bed out there for him and he loves it. He also has access to the garage. Hubby found evidence that he's been sleeping in his chevelle. I've determined he is a neutered male, but have no clue where he came from. None of the neighbors claim him. Best guess is he was dumped. I've put Maya's collar and ID tag with my phone number on it on him and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get a call from his concerned owner. I've also sent his pic and description to the shelter to see if he has been reported missing. My husband calls him Duncan and I added the "Don't Live Here" as a joke.

It Snowed Again!

It snowed again over the weekend. We go years and years without a single snowflake, yet it's snowed 3 times in less than 30 days here. Saturday night was supposed to be the big fundraiser/silent auction/social for the Cat Project that we have been preparing for since September of last year. We set up everything at the venue on Friday night. It broke our hearts to have to cancel on Saturday because of the snow.

We ended up getting about 6" when the forecast was for 1-2". I've seriously had enough! Here are some pics I took at one of our feral colonies. They were very happy to see us and especially happy to see we brought food! I worry so much about all the outdoor kitties and other animals who are out in the cold and snow.

Be sure to check out the great items at the Friends of the CB auction site!!
