Big Goings On




Hi Everyone!

So far September has been a BIG month for Catkins- BIG!  I can't wait to share this exciting news with all of you!!  

It looks like we will be adding a second cattery to Catkins so that we can comfortably house 40 cats on a regular basis!  This cattery will be targeted toward housing younger cats and some of our pickier residents.  The new  cattery will be a 12' X  20' insulated building with several windows to sun in and lots of room to play in!!  Next summer with hope to add a small window perch that will allow a few cats at a time to sit outside, but stay safe.  We are hoping with the addition of this building that we won't have to continually turn away litters of kittens during the spring and summer months.

In addition (yes, there is more!) we are replacing the doors on Harold's Hideout to include large windows and insulation.  This way our residents can watch the snow blow during the winter months without feeling the chill!!

We also are planning on having our veterinarian take a trek down from Ashland and visit our facility to give everyone their 1 and 3 yr rabies vaccines.  That will be about 30 vaccinations in 1 day!

Catkins has also been entered into the "America's Favorite Animal Shelter" contest on Care2.com.  It is super easy to go and vote for Catkins and the winner gets $10,000.  You can also recruit your friends in the US to vote and the 20 top recruiters will get $50 gift certificates.  Just follow this link:  http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/72779/?refer=23403.03.1222201337.0748

I'll be back later this month to congratulate all of our August and September adoptions and with more exciting news and updates!

Laura
