A lot of fun stuff going on here in the next few months. We have our low-cost spay/neuter clinics in October. This Saturday, PetSmart if doing a special adoption event themed “Homecoming” – there will be lots of fun stuff! Check out our facebook page for more info and come and see us!
Saturday (which you won’t be able to attend because you will be visiting us at PetSmart, right?) and Sunday the Joplin area welcomes back the American Cat Fanciers Association Cat Show after an absence for many years. I believe the hours are 9 to 4 each day and admission is $5. BUT if you take some canned dog and cat food, they will give you a discount. I believe SEK Humane Society will be there doing cat adoptions and this food will probably help them stock their shelves. They will have all kinds of pure bred cats and even some alley cats will be competing! They have booths set up with cat themed merchandise as well as a booth with a veterinarian in it who will be answering all of your cat questions. I am hoping to feel good enough to attend!
Saturday at PetSmart, we will be unveiling our NEWEST fundraiser – we will be selling raffle tickets for a Queen Size quilt full of kitties! This quilt is outstanding. The pictures may look familiar to you and that’s because they are. The winner of our quilt in 2009 travels a lot and has had the quilt in a plastic blanket bag for the past few years and decided that she would donate it back to us, as much as she loves it, so that we could have a fundraiser and so someone else might get to enjoy the quilt. So once again, we will be raffling off the cat quilt. We will have tickets available at PetSmart on Saturday or you can call me at 417-388-3340 to get some tickets. They are $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. Not only do we have the cat quilt to raffle, but one of our talented board members has also worked very hard to make us an adorable scrapbook that will be raffled along with the quilt. We also have a quilted lap robe included in the package! If you are not interested in any of these prizes, consider buying some tickets for a chance to win them to give away for Christmas or birthday gifts (my birthday is in April – hint hint…). 100% of ticket sales will go to fund low-cost spay/neuter clinics, tnr of feral cats as well as other special projects that benefit our local pets.
In October, we would like to share with you a fund raiser by Joplin Trails Committee – a bike ride – see our facebook page for more info… it may be a couple of days before I can get it loaded up…
On Sunday October 12th, Spare Cat Rescue will be joining the Carthage Humane Society in Central Park to kick off Maple Leaf festivities. Come out and see us! We will have several dog and cat beds for sale as well as other pet items – all brand new. We also will be giving out free items for cat and dog owners just for stopping by to chit chat with us! We will have new newsletters available as well as other material that pet owners might find of interest. There has been talk of a kitten kissing booth too…!!! I believe the fun starts at 1:00 – more details to come soon…
If I can get motivated, we may be selling a calendar this year, too for 2015. Pre-order only and I will have a sample available for you at the October 12th event as well as at PetSmart and we will announce it on Facebook, too.
See our facebook page for tons of new photos and more photos of the quilt. Please help us raise money to help with our programs for cats and dogs.
Thanks!
