For every cat that comes into our current shelter, he or she has to be isolated a minimum of 10 days prior to release. Our current building is, as those of you who have visited us, extremely cluttered. Although we don't expect to see the crew of Home Makeover rolling up their trucks anytime soon we are hoping to involve the community of animal lovers that we have served from our current building for many years.

The building we have leased is in the Indiandale Shopping Mall, 1540 Malvern Ave. Suite C. We need to reconfigure the area to meet the needs of cats, kittens, thrift store and volunteers. We estimate a projected cost of around $5000 for materials and labor while still operating the shelter's medical expenses.

As a community you can help by donating time, money, materials and skills. We are calling on you the handyman, handywoman just handy with a paintbrush, floorlayers, sheet rockers, framers, materials supplier, electricians, plumbers, administrative folks to come along and meet with our co-ordinators Deb or Nina. You can email Deb at djazz@centurytel.net or Nina at fbi987654@yahoo.com. People with large trucks are also very welcome!

Our deadline is November 1st.

You may also contribute cash so that when we need to purchase materials or labor or to subsidize shelter operating costs while we are in transition.

Thanks so much to all our supporters old and new. And here's to making the lives of the cats much better!
