We hope you enter and encourage all your friends and family to vote. Entries are $5 and each vote is $1.

What's in store for the New Year

We had a productive meeting last night,  brainstorming ideas to raise money. My favorite idea, which I already have in the works, is a "Cutest Cat Contest". I'm super excited about this one! I began the setup process last night and should have more information in the next 2-3 days. If this one goes well, we may do a calendar for next year. We are also reaching out to our local Tractor Supply, Kroger, Wal-mart and a few other locations to find out if we can set up tables to collect donations and hand out fliers, and possibly take advantage of any broken bags of cat food or litter they may wish to donate. I have a personal goal to get 100 cats spayed or neutered this year, and I think with your support we can do it.  If you can only give $1 or $5 it can go a long way to helping us reach our goals. If 100 people donate $5, we could spay our neuter up to 10 cats! Please consider donating a few dollars to help fund our TNR program. Every dollar helps!

Como went to his new home yesterday!

We are so excited! Happiness on the heels of tragedy is always welcome. Here he is in his new digs. He is still shy, but he has lots of space to explore and great hiding places from which to survey his new domain. We still have three kittens to go. Two males, and one female. 

What's Happening

I have some not so good news. When I took Como, Russ, and Enid in for spay/neuter surgery, I feel like was bamboozled. I took three kittens in on my day off on a pre-scheduled appointment. When I arrived, I was told "We only spay/neuter kittens six months or older." That's fine, but would have been nice to know when I CALLED AND TOLD YOU I HAD THREE KITTENS TO BRING IN. Not only that, but I was charged almost as much just for vaccinations as the price I was quoted for spay/neuter and rabies shots. I'm pissed to say the least. I'm not naive; I expected setbacks, but I despise dishonesty. We're a small organization and don't have a lot of funding, so I feel like I wasted my time and PCCR's money. However, three of the kittens have had their first round of shots, a rabies vaccination, and have been de-wormed. I now have a tray of kitten shots in my fridge, so I won't have to go through this with the other two (thank you, generous donor!). Every ki
