April is full of fun events at Cattyshack! We always have something going on, and it is especially important now that kitten season has started to boom!!! We currently have six moms and thirty-two kittens under the age of two months in the rescue. We also have several adult cats who need home (and some have to be only cats), and several other kittens who are a little older that need homes. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of kitten season, and we know that since is just the beginning our volunteers are going to be elated, exhausted, and entirely overwhelmed with the need to help and care for kittens.
So, how can you help? By coming to one of our events, making a donation, sending us items from our wish list (especially formula, mother and babycat dry and wet food, and kitten food), or by making a reservation to come to the lounge (Fridays are great days because until the summer we often have space).
The first event we have this month, is our soccer team! Cattyshack has sponsored a soccer team and one of their games was last night! There are a few more to come. If you go to a game, they are free, so YAY! You can often also find either Tina Cooley (Creator of Cattyshack) or Shawn Appling (a team player) and give them a donation of funds or cat food! The schedule is below:
On Friday the 10th of April, we have Introverts’ Night Out. These nights are great for anyone who wants to sit with cats while they crochet, knit, read, or whatever you as an introvert wants to do. You can use the link below to snag your reservation (as there are still some spots).
