We had a busy and productive adoption event on Saturday, 7/30, at our building. This was our third adoption event of the month. Our guests included several approved and potential adopters, possible future volunteers, donors, and other folks who just wanted to come and meet our kitties.
3 adult cats (Claire, Chloe, Barbie) and 17 kittens (Sysco, Sybil, Tira Misu, Tiffanie, Tillie, Mimosa, Miranda, Mirabelle, Misha & Micky, Yogi & Yonda, Pandy, Pasha, YaYa, Yahtzee, Yamaha) were the stars of our show.
6 kitten adoptions were completed to pre-approved adopters at the event: YaYa & Yamaha, Sybil, Miranda & Mirabelle, Mimosa
This helped us close out July as a record month of adoptions - 52 in total! This included 3 adult cats (Rio, Melissa & Biskit) and 49 kittens. 20 of these adoptions occurred at our adoption events on 7/9, 7/16 and 7/30. The remaining 32 adoptions were conducted from foster homes or the building between events. What a joy to see the cats & kittens we rescued in spring develop into social house kitties ready for their new families through the dedication, socialization and TLC of all of our foster families!
Many thanks to the foster families who brought their cats/kittens to the 7/30 event most of whom were able to stay and promote them to our guests (Ashley, Jenny, Jen, Jill, John, Gillian). Thanks also to the volunteers who made the event possible - Christy for staying late on Friday to clean and setup for the event and then coming early and staying all day on Saturday to help with execution of the event, Sara for a great job of setup, adoption counseling, Facebook posting and many behind the scenes activities supporting our adoption events, Steve/Sara for creating the cage cards, Olivia for adoption counseling and promoting our resident building cats & kittens, Vicki for staffing the front desk and greeting our guests, Candy for photography, Facebook posting, and handling our lunch run, Connie & Ted for the great job promoting this event.
What an amazing team of volunteers!
We have two adoption events scheduled in our building in August: Saturday, 8/13 and Saturday, 8/27.
There are many, many wonderful cats & kittens who will be featured at these events. Hoping for continued success in finding them loving homes.
Thanks,
Sue
