This 12 months, Cat City has helped 139 scared, careworn, and undersocialized shelter cats and kittens. Earlier than the 12 months ends, I hope to get that quantity even larger, so we may also help Poe.
Poe on the metropolis shelter.
This tiny tuxedo hisses and growls each time folks strategy him. However he’s not imply — he’s simply telling us that he’s afraid. For anybody courageous sufficient to push previous his huge, robust show, he shortly melts right into a purring little muffin, determined for reassurance and affection. I do know from seeing so many scared shelter cats like him that Poe could be a nice companion. I see the candy boy below all that worry — and I’m assured that at Cat City, Poe can let down his guard, be taught to belief folks, and get adopted.
I need to assist Poe be the most effective he could be, so I’m excited {that a} beneficiant donor has provided to double donations to Cat City for the subsequent three days, as much as $10,000.
If you happen to may also help us attain our purpose, the cats who want us most can have $20,000 in help — so we will buy enrichment and socialization instruments, present them with primary medical care, and assist them overcome the percentages that life has stacked in opposition to them. It would imply we may also help Poe.
Many native shelters are so above capability this 12 months they’ve stopped taking stray cats into their care. Oakland Animal Providers is among the few municipalities that hasn’t reduce consumption, so it’s my job to ensure Cat City may also help as a lot of these cats as we will.
Our staff collaborates with OAS workers to establish the cats who want us most. We each agree that Poe is prepared for the prospect — perhaps for the primary time in his younger life — to really feel secure. Cat City simply wants the funds to assist him.
I hope you’ll make a present at this time, when your generosity can be stretched twice as far. Collectively, we will present Poe simply how a lot we consider in him, and assist Poe present everybody the great pal we all know he could be!
Thanks,
