A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all those that have donated to the cat fund! ❤️🐾
In just a few weeks, our wonderful customers (YOU!) have raised over $150 just by putting loose change & donations in our little countertop tin. 🥹
Pictured is Janice Sousa, who not only fostered our beloved Mr. JimBob before his vetting, but is currently fostering 3 (previously 4, but Charles has found a home! 😁😁) stray kittens found abandoned in the woods.
Janice is no newcomer to saving kitties–She’s taken every opportunity to help our local 4-legged friends for many years now.
Until recently, Janice was able to get at least SOME financial help through rescue organizations (although she’s no doubt footed countless bills herself). Unfortunately, these same organizations are experiencing severe funding shortfalls, and Janice has been left without any significant financial help.
If you have a cat yourself, you know--vet bills are never cheap, even just for a spay/neuter. Now multiply that by all the local strays, and it’ll no doubt be a pretty expensive number.
Never mind all the time she donates, Janice is still just as determined to get these kitties the help they need, even if it means paying for it herself. We were so happy when she reached out to us for help, and even happier to see how quickly our customers stepped up. 💜
Thanks to YOU, we’re able to put over $150 toward helping Janice care for these little guys. It might not cover every vet bill, but that’s $150 she doesn’t have to come up with out of her own pocket, and that means a whole lot.
And a special thank you to our Abby C Surrell, who happily agreed to replace our usual tip jar with the kitty fund! ❤️
Our little donation tin isn’t going anywhere, either! If you’ve got some spare change next time you’re visiting, every little bit helps. And if you can’t donate, that’s perfectly okay too–sharing the word, helping a stray, or simply looking out for the animals in your neighborhood makes a difference.
We know times aren’t exactly easy for anyone right now, which makes your generosity even more special. We’re so lucky to have customers who care about our little community (and its furry residents!!) as much as we do.
From all of us at Cloud Nine, Janice, and the kitties--THANK YOU!!! ❤️🐈🐾
