I'm Not Trash - I'm a Very Important Person!!!

This little sweetheart was found in a bag in a dumpster today in Evans. Hard to believe that in this day and age people still do sick things like that, right?

If you are as horrified as I hope you are, then you are wondering what you can do to stop these things from happening. Well, we have a few things coming up that will help homeless kitties so they don't end up in a dumpster like this precious baby:

1. Chat Amour III - This is our large, annual fundraiser that raises thousands of dollars for our organization. There is a live & silent auction, sit-down dinner, entertainment, and much more. Tickets are $50 and are available for purchase from our website or at the shelter. The event is coming up on Feb. 13th, and the deadline to get tickets is Feb. 5th.

2. Spay Day Events! - My previous blog is about these events, but I have an update.
The low-cost Spay Day through our organization is actually open to both female & male kitties. As of right now all of the female spots are taken up, but there is still room for some more males. If you know of anyone that has a cat that needs to be neutered, let them know about this!!! It is only $15. (We plan to spay/neuter 60+ kitties that day. Isn't that incredible?!?!?!?!)
Here is the update on the Library Talk:
"Dogs, Cats and Other Critters: Every Pet a Wanted Pet"
Tuesday, February 23, 7:00 p.m. Main Library
In celebration of National Spay Day, join the folks from Larimer HumaneSociety, Fort Collins Cat Rescue and Animal House as they discuss howtheir organizations help homeless pets and how YOU can help make every peta wanted pet. "Ambassador animals" from each organization will be present to meet with adults and kids. Come early as seating is limited.
Last but not least, don't forget about our Giving Tree! All donations are tax-deductible and go towards the cost of spaying/neutering feral kitties.

There are many ways that YOU can make a difference for homeless animals! After all, they aren't trash - they are very important people! And as for the kitten found in the dumpster, she already went on her way to one of our wonderful foster homes. She will be available for adoption in about 1 week, and we are sure she will find a great home!
