Rocky really did sit down on that chair at our front desk
during one of his visits with his owner, a volunteer.
No trick photography was needed.

ADOPTIONS

Our cats and kittens are not in cages,
so you can walk around the main rooms
and have a seat on one of our benches.
You won't be alone for long!
Our cats are already spayed or neutered,
checked by a vet, had all shots
(if over 4 months old),
and tested for FIV and leukemia

ADOPTION FEES

Who says you can't buy love?

We collect $100, either cash or check, for each cat.
Think about how much more money you'd spend
for spay/neuter, blood tests
and inoculations at the vet.
A two week health warranty is included.
Some special breeds may be more than $100.
Sorry we cannot take credit cards or give refunds.

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE

A labor of love
If you're over 18, you can become
an office receptionist, pet socializer,
foster Mom for baby kittens,
transporter, fund-raising coordinator,
or one of our cleaners at the shelter.
All very rewarding - -
and also very good for your blood pressure!

HOW YOU CAN HELP

DONATIONS
You can specify a particular fund such as spay/neuter.
Please consider planned giving.
Some of our biggest contributions have come through bequests.
You can DONATE ITEMS such as
Clorox, postage stamps, Bounty paper towel rolls,
cat treats, cat nip, really fun toys for kittens,
KMR milk powder or
Hills Prescription Diet A/D canned cat food.

SCOUT TROOPS GET INVOLVED
. .
Your scouts can arrange a visit
to our shelter on Fridays.
This troop will work on a project to advertise
and/or raise funds for our shelter,
and they will include that
in working towards their
animal care badge. Thank you girls!

SPONSORSHIPS

<

Since there are many people who want to adopt but can't
for various reasons, we offer a sponsorship program.
Look at the photos above for Zane,Tricia with Zane,
Juan with Zane, Tamara,
Sadie, Connie, Cass and Harley.
These cats have been with us for many years.
Some are not likely to ever be adopted,
so Grateful Paw is their home.
For only $30 per year, you can sponsor a cat.
You get a picture of the cat you are helping,
and you are welcome to visit your cat.
A great gift idea and a very meaningful
gift given in someone's memory.

The $85 is refunded to you when the trap is returned,
in two weeks in working order.
Additional weeks are $5 for every two weeks.
Traps are limited, so there may be a waiting list.

EVERY DAY IS TAG DAY.

I'm Tex, and I just happen to have stylish collars
here in case you need some for your pets.
April 4th is officially Every Day is Tag Day,
but hey, let me repeat, EVERY DAY!
Even if your pet stays in your house, you'd never
want him to accidentally scoot out un-tagged!
Please, tag or microchip your pets. Of course,
only one collar with a tag is needed for each pet.
