Warm Fuzzy Tales
Leo was taken in by Animal Talk Rescue as a very shy stray kitten and was fostered by the Izzo family. He was showered with attention and started palling around with with their dogs. In time, he was adopted by a couple waiting for that perfect kitty to adore.
Here's what Leo’s new family has to say: “Leo is amazing - no question, the sweetest, bravest cat I've ever been around. He and our dogs are absolutely in love with each other! I think that Leo has actually brought our dogs closer together. They want to play and cuddle with him all of the time; he is so easy-going and playful. Sometimes I think they love him a little too much...they don't want to leave him alone! But luckily they eventually all fall asleep."
Fund Raising Successes, Thanks to our Friends!
Thank you to all the wonderful friends of the Rescue who have helped recently with important fund raising events and donations: - We held a garage sale last month and it was a huge success--we raised $500! Thanks to all who donated items and to Sharron who organized it. You can continue bringing items for the next garage sale, which we will do again when we have enough stuff. Contact Sharron to donate (425-563-3665) or bring to Animal Talk Rescue.
Girl Scout Brownie Troop 43652, who used cookie money to buy $200 of supplies for the rescue. Bryant Elementary School's "Splendiferous Penny Givers," a student fund raising team donated $500 to Animal Talk Rescue. Morgan, a student volunteer who adopted a kitty from us, then
organized a fund raising drive and raised $313.15 to help the other
cats!
Wow! We are so grateful to these donors, and to so many others who donate much-needed funds, supplies, and of course, their time. If you'd like to help, donations of any size are welcome. Just visit www.animaltalkrescue.org/help.html
Feral Cats and Clipped Ears
Have you ever wondered why some cats at Animal Talk Rescue have one of their ears clipped? The ear clipping is done when a feral cat is trapped and brought in for spay/neuter surgery. A clipped ear identifies the cat as altered and helps future rescue workers and the public to know that a cat living in the wild has already been ‘fixed’ and doesn’t need to be trapped and brought for surgery again.
Whenever possible, Animal Talk tries to tame and find loving, safe homes for feral cats. They are often seen awaiting adoption with a clipped ear at our adoption center.
Some cats, however, cannot be tamed. But these feral cats’ lives have been improved and much suffering has been avoided via Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR). Cats are returned to their outdoor homes after spay/neuter surgery and ear-clipping. There are many ‘feeding stations’ set up around Washington with devoted volunteers who will regularly feed these feral cats. Animal Talk helps by contributing food to these generous volunteers. The cats can live out their lives happily and safely without contributing to over-breeding.
For more information, visit neighborhoodcats.org.
Kitten Season is Here!
 Thank
you to all who have helped to take care of the new kitty families by
opening your homes to foster. Kits are fragile; helping them to survive
and thrive is no easy feat. Our rescue is lucky to have such devoted
volunteers! But the need continues to grow.
Please contact us if you want to help. Call 206-526-1558 or email animal-talk-rescue@googlegroups.com.
