The small victories

In May Catkins had some HUGE victories!  Our biggest was receiving our first grant from the PetCo foundation.  We received $1000 toward our spay and neuter expenses for our rescue animals.  What an amazing achievement!  What was even better?  Calvin's adoptive mom  was in the post office to witness my happy dance.  That made me start to think about some of the tough cases that Catkins has worked on everyday since we first formed in late 2006.  These cases have become such a part of our everyday work that they have become more the norm than the small victories they truly are.  Here are some photos of our shining examples!

Thank you so much to our wonderful donors, volunteers and foster families who have made these successes happen!  Thanks to you Mulan and Calvin have been adopted and Pepper is blossoming into a wonderful dog under the care of her foster dad.  These success stories are what make our work so worthwhile and we couldn't do it without your help!
