On Saturday, June 6th of 2009, a Pet Walk and Adopt-a-Thon occurred at Spring Canyon Community Park. It was put on by the Linnea Memorial Fund and was very successful. An incredible amount of money was raised for community shelters and rescues, and Fort Collins Cat rescue was one of the beneficiaries.
The money raised for us was used to purchase a nice bank of cages to display adoptable kittens in our reception area of the shelter. Before we were using wire cages that were hard to clean, difficult to maneuver, and looked ugly. Thanks to Linnea Dick we have saved time, money, and have more comfortable housing for our adoptable kittens. Here is some information from the Linnea Memorial website:
"In May of 2008 Linnea’s life was tragically and unexpectedly taken, but her spirit and passion for animals lives on through the Linnea Memorial Fund that cares for animals in need through donations to local animal charities. Although Linnea lost her life, she will still make her mark on this world. She is helping change the world through the Linnea Memorial Fund by making it a more positive place for animals and people. Linnea will not only be missed by family and friends, but by all of the animals in her short but very significant life. "
FCCR encourages you to visit the Linnea Memorial website to learn more about Linnea and how her memory continues to help animals in distress: http://www.linneamemorial.org/
