September Newsletter

Hello friends,

What a month it's been! We couldn't have done any of this without you.

A Full House, Full Hearts

We're so grateful to welcome two new foster families to our emergency foster program this month! We truly believe that when someone's life is turned upside down (e.g., a hospital stay, a natural disaster, a sudden crisis) their cat shouldn't have to suffer for it. That's why we offer safe, temporary care until they can be reunited.

We're looking forward to a beautiful reunification this month, which will open up room for a new family. Until then, we're paused on new intakes, but we'll let you know as soon as space opens up again.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

We've had some empty bowls filled thanks to generous food donations from our community this month. Every bag and can goes straight to feeding the cats in our care, and we're so grateful. If you'd like to help keep those bowls full, it only takes $13 to make a huge difference.

We also want to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to an anonymous "angel" donor whose generosity this month left us speechless. You know who you are. Thank you for believing in our mission. Gifts like this, big or small, are what keep our sanctuary going.

Find Us at a Craft Fair Near You!

We're hitting the road this season to spread the word (and meet some new cat lovers along the way). Come say hi at one of our upcoming craft fair appearances. You can find them (and all of our other events) on our calendar.

Stop by our booth for handmade cat toys and beautiful items for cat lovers too. Speaking of cat lovers, our paintings (both by the cats and from a generous donor, Deidra Smith) are now available at The Homegrown Collective in Decatur (1090 W. Wood , Decatur, IL, United States, 62522). If you know of anywhere else you think our art should be featured, please let us know.

Help Us Keep Going

None of this happens without support from people like you. If you're able, please consider making a donation to help us keep caring for cats in need. Remember, it only takes $13 to feed our cats for a week, or $25 to provide enough litter for two weeks.
