Party Fun!

What a great anniversary day!! We had cake and punch and I even got presents! It was fun. I think we should find a reason to eat cake at least once a month. I'm still celebrating..so you can still bring me presents. I guess the only thing I'm missing now is a home to call my own. Maybe..for my anniversary week...my dream will come true.

Special People!

I wanted to take a little break from my party (what a surprise it was!!) to tell you about some more special people that I've met over the last couple of weeks. As you all know, we depend heavily on donations from the public to help us make sure that the orphan animals in our care have everything they need to be safe and happy. Especially the little extras that make the shelter not just somewhere where we wait to find families...but a place we can truly call home. At least until we find forever homes of our own.

Heather Porelle is a young lady who we think is truly amazing! For her birthday, she unselfishly asked her friends to bring gifts for the shelter animals instead of for her. They brought lots of fun stuff..toys and treats and canned food!! They even spent some time in the shelter cuddling and visiting with the cats and dogs and bunnies. I'm not sure who had more fun...the kids or the animals!

The other amazing group of people are the Fairley's Oromocto Open Wednesday Night Dart League. This is a group of people who were able to raise ALOT of money and supplies at their annual banquet this year! They brought in everything on our wish list and more! Our front lobby was packed with so much stuff...it was incredible!

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to these wonderful people. Without them and all of our other volunteers and donors, we couldn't take care of all of the orphans that come to us. We are truly grateful. Two paws up to Heather Porelle and her friends and to the Fairley's Oromocto Open Wednesday Night dart League....we think you are angels!

Now...back to my party and my cake. I have to keep an eye on the girls to make sure they don't eat it all. Any excuse to eat cake!

Scavenger Hunt Fun!

Want to have lots and lots of fun and help raise money to help orphan animals like me? You NEED to come and join us on Saturday, June 5th from 10am to noon to take part in our 2nd Annual Scavenger Hunt. It's SO much fun and great for the whole family!

It's easy...you pick up a pledge form at the shelter, raise some money, and then join us on Saturday. We'll give you a list of all the things you have to find. But be warned....it might not be as easy as you think but we promise it will be fun! If you promise not to tell...I will give you a hint...bring a digital camera...it might help you to earn some extra points.

There will be prizes for the teams who collect the most points and for the team that collects the most money.

You can't go wrong..spend the morning having a great time, AND raise money to help the homeless animals!

I'll be there!

It's a Party and You're Invited!!

Shhhhhhh! It's a secret! We're having a party and it's a surprise. Hissy Elliot, blogger extraordinaire and feline shelter resident will be celebrating one year of living at the shelter on May 26/2010. We want to make it a happy event..and maybe even find her a home in the process! To celebrate..all week we will be adopting shelter cats for only $50 and this will include lots of great perks! First vaccines, deworming, spay or neuter, microchipping, party gift bag and soft paws on each adopted cat! Also, on Wednesday the 26th, join us at the shelter for cake and refreshments. Hissy will gladly accept gifts which she will share with her feline friends. Hope to see you at the shelter!

My Adventure!

As you all know..I am an adventurous gal. I like things to be busy and fun. I like when people come to visit. Most of all...I like things to be exactly the way I like them. My bed where it's supposed to be. My canned cat food served early in the morning. AND...knowing that I am safe and warm in the shelter. Today...my little world was slightly shattered. Somehow, I ended up outside. It was the scariest moment in my life. Well, maybe not in my whole life..but definitely in the last few months. I was only outside for about 5 minutes, but it's not something I want to relive. Ever. It made me realize how much I love being an indoor cat. Where it's safe and where I don't ever have to worry about being hurt or getting sick.

When I find a new home...I definitely want to be an indoor cat.

Well...I have alot of napping to do. And I think I deserve an extra helping of canned food. I'm still traumatized. Canned food will definitely help.

We still have Bunnies!

We still have angora bunnies ready for adoption. We've been lucky though, we've already placed 12 in good homes..but there are still so many more to go. Each adoption takes us one step closer to having been able to help all of them. There are so many people that deserve huge thanks for helping the bunnies...from the shelters in NB and PEI, to the rescues in the eastern US, to the people who have helped with transport, the volunteers who have brought fresh fruit and veggies, the media who have helped us to spread the word, and the staff and animal protection officers who rescued the bunnies on that first day. It takes a whole group of caring, compassionate people to save so many lives. I'm so proud of the shelter/rescue community. They deserve a treat...I wonder if they like catnip?

New Summer Hours

Guess what?? We have new summer hours so that you can come and visit me even earlier on the weekends! We are going to be open at 10 am every Saturday and Sunday this summer which means there's more time to bring me treats, more time to pet me, more time to fall in love with your new "fur"ever friend!

We still have lots of bunnies, and kittens, and guinea pigs and cats and dogs. There's never a dull moment here at the shelter! We hope that you find time to come and be a part of our hustle and bustle. Even if you just want to visit and spend time with the animals...that's ok too. We love visits. Hope to see you soon!
