Cattyshack has walked through doors that most other rescues have not and has sponsored their own soccer team. Below you can find a schedule of games, but you might be asking yourself, why would Cattyshack do this?
Sports are popular, and sponsoring a team helps get the Cattyshack name out there. Right now is just the beginning of kitten season, and since we already have over 30 moms and kittens from 2 months under in our care, we know that kitten season will be insane this year. We have noticed a trend of moms having 4+ babies each too, which means that we will soon be overloaded with kittens.
Anything we can do and anything the public can do, helps get our name and the rescues brand out there. Getting out name out there helps us fund raise without having us asking for donations, or having our volunteers working events for people to donate. Now, what can you do?
Go see a game! Share the details! Celebrate Cattyshack! And often you can find either Tina Cooley (Cattyshack’s President) or Shawn Appling (a player) and hand them a few bucks as a donation. Bring a small bag of Purina kitten one to a game and drop if off with Tina or Shawn. Or simply enjoy the games, which are free to attend!
As always, thank you for reading this blog, and thank you for sharing your love of cats and Cattyshack. As a volunteer based organization, kitten season is the hardest, exhausting, and fun part of the year, and all the help we can garner helps us rescue more lives.
