Cats Are People, Too! Club, Inc.’s Blog

Thanks to everyone who helped make our May 8, 2008 Vendor Bingo a big success! In addition to the money raised we also received enough donations of bleach, detergent, food, paper towels, and toys to last many months. It’s great to know we have so many people willing to be Trumbull County’s cat angels!

These pictures show some of our volunteers whooping it up in a place besides the shelter. It was great to mingle and make money for the cats at the same time.

The last picture shows Cindy Gasser and Wilma Crawford, our fabulous feline fundraisers, who worked so hard to put the event together. THANKS!

When Sydney’s sixth birthday came around on April 19th, she asked her mom to help her arrange a birthday party that would help our shelter cats. Syndey and her friends had a great time and our lucky kittens and cats got the presents! Thanks a ton, Syndey, for all the great stuff. We’ll be talking about this for a long time!

These pictures show sisters Kate and Sydney holding pictures of two of the shelter cats that benefited from the party and the whole group of party girls (Kate, Sydney, Madelyn, Jackie, Julie, Emma, and Alyssa) taking a break from the festivities. These young ladies are the epitome of “pretty is, as pretty does”!

We think our cats are the most beautiful animals in the world and we have the photos to prove it. One of our volunteers, Torey Flowers, takes amazing photos as she’s there tending to the cats. Go to the following site to check them out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/capt/

Come to the PETSMART store in Niles, Ohio on May 3rd where we will be showing some of our fabulous felines from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM. Normally our cats are available to be seen at the Pet Supplies Plus store in Niles, OH, but we welcome this special opportunity to reach an even broader base of pet lovers! We’ve never had such a great selection of cats and can’t wait to find that perfect home for them all!

If you have ever attended one of our other Vendor Bingo events you know it really is the best ever! The prizes are great and the baskets are fantastic. Best of all, you have the satisfaction of knowing you are making life a lot nicer for the felines in our care.

From the Humane Society of the United States:

“Protect Pets in the Final Farm Bill!

Right now, we are at a pivotal point to make a difference in the lives of countless animals. Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate will be meeting soon to iron out the differences between their respective versions of the Farm Bill. Provisions to protect pets have been included in both versions, so we must act now in order to get these pet protection measures over the finish line!

These provisions are in jeopardy and we need your help right away to ensure that they are retained in the final Farm Bill.”

Girl Scout Troop 424 from Portage County recently visited our shelter. The girls got into the swing of things by doing some of the dirtier jobs that need to be done, such as scrubbing and mopping, as well as some of the more fun things, such as playing with the cats. They brought along some handmade cats toys as well as a generous donation. Here are some pictures from that fun day!
