This invasive and painful surgery is not something the CCSPCA recommends. Read a vet's opinion on it here! WORTH MENTIONING Great news! Construction has begun on our shelter! The above photo was taken June 6th. We are so excited and grateful for the support we receive from the community, and we need your help now more than ever. We continue to be a very small, all volunteer group and run solely on fundraising and donations. Without a shelter we've managed to take in (and find homes for!) more than 1000 cats and 500 dogs. Imagine what we can do with a real shelter! Thank you so very much to all who continue to support us. We couldn't do it without you! Huge thanks also to our 100% volunteer contractor - Robert Roy, and to Lynn Roy, Pierce's Plumbing, Keith's Building Supplies, Gentex Building Supplies, Southwest Concrete, Quickset Foundation, Dayle Chambers, Shamrock Truss, Gordie Cook, Stirling McNamara, Ronnie James, Dale Orr, Peter Vandergulik, Jamer Materials and all those who prefer to remain anonymous for their services and donations so far. Want to volunteer? We are looking for adult volunteers interested in helping at the cat shelter once per week. Cleaning cages, feeding, watering and playing with the cats is the "job" description and the "pay" is in cat kisses and purrs. Usually takes between 1-3 hours per week and training is provided. Please call or email if you are interested! Need a gift idea? How about making a donation to the CCSPCA in someone's name? You get the tax receipt (for donations over $10) and the recipient gets a lovely note, and the animals get help - everybody wins! Call or email for info today! FUNDRAISING EVENTS: Great kids help out! Sarah McCullough and Leah Levesque (grade 3 students at St. Stephen Elementary School) are seen above handing a cheque to CCSPCA volunteer Evie Gagne. Sarah and Leah decided they wanted to help homeless animals and put together a basket on which to sell tickets. They sold over 400 tickets at 25 cents each to raise $109.50! Way to go Sarah and Leah! Thanks for your great initiative and support! Fat Cat Contest! The Ralphie Fat Cat Challenge is on again - this time to benefit the new TNR feral cat group in Charlotte County (Ca-r-ma). Send a dollar/pound of what your fat (or skinny) cat weighs. Prize for the fattest cat and consolation prize for the skinnest cat. Contest ends June 30. Please make checks payable to Charlotte County Ca-r-ma and mail to c/o Maureen Johnson, 138 Upper Waweig Road, Waweig, N.B. E3L 4N1.
