Hi Everyone!!!

2007 has been a wonderful year for Catkins and our first year actively promoting our pets (rather than placing them all with friends and family!).  The results have been amazing!  We adopted out approximately 70 animals this year and have over 30 in our care!  These are animals that came from shelters where they ran out of time, that were found as strays or that their families could no longer keep.  We feel blessed that we have had a chance to get to know all of these animals and that we have gotten a chance to get to know their new families as well! We have gotten back so many wonderful stories of animals adopted from our rescue and we know that if everyone at the rescue enjoys hearing these stories, other "animal people" would too!  We wanted to create a place where people who have adopted animals can post their pictures and stories and where people who rescue strays, run  shelters or are just feeling down can come and read about the happy endings rather than just hearing about the rough starts (we get a lot of those).  We also would like people who are thinking about adopting to see what previous adopters have to say.   Thank you to all of you who have helped an animal in need! Furthermore, thank you to all of the rescue's amazing volunteers and supporters: Jena, Anne, Chris, Callae, Teddy, Pam, Raeph and Tyler!  Catkins would not be what it is without your help!
