🦃🐾 As the turkey settles, the tummies recover, and the Thanksgiving leftovers refridgerate… we're feeling VERY thankful at Catelowna! 💛
What a weekend, and what a year it's been! Here's a little snapshot of the things making our hearts (and our kitty pantry!) overflow.
🍋 A HUGE thank you to Baylyn! Daughter of Dr. Bianca and Dr. Colin at Okanagan Animal Eye Clinic, Baylyn held a lemonade stand and donated an incredible $535 to our kitties! Thank you, Baylyn, and to everyone who bought the lemonade. This unexpected generosity means the world, especially during shoulder season!
🏡 Eight cats found their forever homes in just three days! We also welcomed TEN new faces into the lounge and have interest in FOUR more potentially heading home this week! We're so grateful to everyone who chooses Catelowna to adopt. Seeing adoptions increase while surrenders remain at zero tells us that taking the time to find the right match really does work. We're looking for forever homes, not just homes. ❤️
🧹 Our volunteers are absolute superstars! From fixing things and cleaning everything (again 😂) to providing unmatched compassion and care, we couldn't do this without you.
🥫 And the donations! We've received a staggering number of food and supply donations recently. With every new kitty comes a new set of tastebuds, so having a variety of food on hand is an absolute goldmine. Thank you for keeping our cupboards stocked and our kitties happy!
💛 A personal thank you, too. To everyone who reached out with condolences. It's been a difficult time, and the comfort of the kitties and the outpouring of love from this community have meant more than words can say.
So, to kick off the week, here are some of the DYNAMITE kitties currently waiting in our lounge! 😻 Come meet them, fall in love, and perhaps find your next furry family member.
Every visit supports our rescued cats, and every adoption makes room for another kitty in need. Come help us through shoulder season and be part of something wonderful!
From our furry family to yours, THANK YOU for being part of the Catelowna story. 🐾💛
