Need sponsors for spaying cats - Need to be done in one week (by 7/27/05)
Please read:
My sister and I are trying to help a family that has been taking in
strays, (but can't really afford

it) to find homes for them. They have forty cats / kittens.We have found
homes for 2 moms and all

the kittens, 6months and younger. We also found placements for the rest,
but (15) the animals

need to be spayed before the new homes will accept them. Hence the need
for donations/

sponsors for spaying!
The local shelter came down on them and gave them 5 days to find homes
or turn them in to the

shelter .**** They will be euthanized as they are received by shelter (PAWS)
as they can't

accomodate that many.*** We finally got a one week extension before they
have to be turned in.

So we are in dire need of help for our furry friends.

Sorry, I donate to my local shelter, which I know to be legitimate. I
hope anyone reading this would not give money to someone on the
internet but instead support local shelters.

Actually, Lauren, I emailed her because it sounds like they're
desparate. For everyday donations, sure, your local shelters and
rescues are indeed needy. But given this unfortunate situation I
can understand trying to branch out to find the funds. When I
wrote, I asked if donations could be given directly to the
spay/neuter vets, or to PAWS directly.

What did you find out, Cheryl? If there is a way to donate directly to
the vet or to PAWS, I'd help too.

No reply yet. After re-reading it, it sounds like if they can't get
the spay/neuter before adopting out, *that* is when PAWS steps in
and will possibly have euthanized those they can't afford to
neuter. I'm unclear on a lot of details which is why I wrote. I'd
feel more inclined to send a donation to the vet doing the ops to
help cover the bill. That's a lot of kittens they have.

I'm sorry, I guess I tend to be a bit jaded when I see posts asking for
money. I'm glad to hear it's legitimate though.

Have you looked into any local spay clincs? Check out alleycatallies.org, I
believe they have a list of low-cost spay/neuter resources.

I'm bout of out "de-glosser", got any Brown Sugar #23 on hand?

oh, and the "Basics", Rich Moisture (creme pour le visage)Man that's
good stuff!

Philip could probably use a few eyeliners and lipsticks! Check with
him.

Good luck helping these folk find the funds for all them cats.

My goodness!

To Cheryl:
I didn't receive your email; Please try again and I will try to explain the
situation further.
To the skeptics:
(SORRY!! I forgot to delete my signature message about avon !!! )
I realize that there are many dishonest people trying to get your hard
earned money. I am not one of them. I took in 2 of the cats myself and can't
afford to adopt any more. I am seeking help, not trying to steal money. I
haven't had to do something like this before and hadn't thought about how to
actually get the money, maybe list the vet and have payment sent to
them??? Any suggestions? Thank you for any input.

More information received about situation and how to handle any donations:

Our local shelter, Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter, (PAWS) is NOT a no- kill
Shelter.> Unfortunately, they have only given us a 1 week extension to place
these animals ourselves, and to place them we must have them spayed or
neutered. They ARE NOT ABLE to accept donations for us. We have been
notified by the shelter that they have no room for any animals and all (even
the nursingkittens) will be put down as soon as they arrive. Our deadline is
FridayJuly 29, 2005. Any cats left will be euthanized. (hence the posting of
the27th deadline, will give us a few days to get them to the Vet before they
are taken from the family).

I have been working with a not for profit organization called CAWS
(Citizens for Animal Welfare and Shelter), they have worked very hard for
us, but their funds are running very low, and they can only do so much. They
have helped us find homes for all the adults (but must be spay/neutered
before
can take them there), and an organization called "Friends of Strays" in
Princeton, IL are going to be able to take both nursing mothers and babies
along with 7 kittens that are 6 months and younger.

Donations can be sent to:

CAWS (Citizens for Animal Welfare and Shelter)
Attn: Rebecca Matheny
104 S. 13th St.
Pekin, IL 61554-4945

They are licensed with the State of Illinois and registered with the
Illinois Attorney General, and are a 501 (C3) not for profit organization.
Donations are Tax Deductible, please send a request with your donation if
you need a tax exempt letter and one will be sent.
OR
You can donate to the local Veterinary Clinic that helps the organization
with Spay and Neuter procedures.

Lang Animal Clinic
Attn: CAWS
1305 Black Street
Pekin, IL 61554

They will be sure that the donations are credited to the account for these
animals.

This Veterinary Clinic gives CAWS a discounted price of $50.00 for a spay,
and $35.00 for a neuter, so a donation of $50.00 will be greatly
appreciated as most of the cats are female.
