CCSPCA NEWS FEATURED PETS Sandy! A sweetie! Cocoa! Won't be available for long! Kitten season is still here! Kittens are still here! We have a variety of adorable kittens at the shelter looking for homes, with more on the way. Now is the time of year we need new homes the most - please consider helping us out by adopting a new furry friend today! NEW SUMMER HOURS! The cat shelter will be open extra hours during the summer to help people adopt. As well as Saturdays from 11 AM to 2 PM, we'll be open Tuesday evenings between 6-8 PM, Wednesday 1-6 PM, Thursday 2:30-6 PM and Friday 1-6 PM. FALL HOURS will start September 1st - during the fall we will be open Saturdays from 11 AM - 2 PM and Tuesday evenings from 6-8 PM. See you then! Now would probably also be a good time to remind people of the importance of spaying and neutering. If you or someone you know has un-fixed cats, please come and talk to us. We can help.

Pepper was the longest current resident of the cat shelter, having been with us for 10 months. Congratulations to her and her lucky companions! To see more of our happy adoption 'tails' check this out! Next meeting Our next monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 27th, in the meeting room at the St. Stephen Superstore. Our monthly meetings (4th Wednesday of each month) are open to the public. We are always looking for dedicated people to help us with our programs of finding homes for the stray, abandoned and unwanted cats and dogs of Charlotte County. Make a donation online! Through the magic of of the internet you can now purchase tickets for any of our events, draws or other activities (or just make a donation!) online! Just click on the 'Donate Now' button below! WORTH MENTIONING Terrific Tuesdays! To help with our ever expanding list of adult cats needing homes we are offering a special promotion - the adoption fee for an adult cat is only $50 on Tuesday evenings at the cat shelter (the adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic shots and feline leukemia test - all this would normally cost almost $300 at the vet clinic!). Come in to meet your new friend! Want to volunteer at the new shelter? Now that our animal shelter is almost here we are looking for adult volunteers interested in volunteering begining this fall. Cleaning cages, feeding, watering and playing with the cats & walking the dogs is the "job" description and the "pay" is in animal kisses. We will be holding orientation and training sessions beginning in September. If you are interested please call or email with your contact info. Thank you! Great news! Construction is almost complete at our shelter! The above photo was taken August 21st. We are so excited and grateful for the support we receive from the community, and we need your help now more than ever. We continue to be a very small, all volunteer group and run solely on fundraising and donations. Without a shelter we've managed to take in (and find homes for!) more than 1000 cats and 500 dogs. Imagine what we can do with a real shelter! Thank you so very much to all who continue to support us. We couldn't do it without you! Huge thanks also to our 100% volunteer contractor - Robert Roy, and to Lynn Roy, Pierce's Plumbing, Keith's Building Supplies, Gentex Building Supplies, Quickset Foundation, Dayle Chambers, Shamrock Truss, Gordie Cook, Stirling McNamara, Ronnie James, Dale Orr, Peter Vandergulik, Jamer Materials, Murphy's Surveying, L&B Industries, King of Windows, B&N Flooring, Orchard's Paint & Paper and all those who prefer to remain anonymous for their services and donations so far. < Need a gift idea? How about making a donation to the CCSPCA in someone's name? You get the tax receipt (for donations over $10) and the recipient gets a lovely note, and the animals get help - everybody wins! Call or email for info today! FUNDRAISING EVENTS: Yard sale - rescheduled to 30 August!

Sponsor-a-Pet Do you have room in your heart but not in your home? If so, the CCSPCA Sponsor-a-Pet Program may be for you. Great for humane education in the classroom! Download an application form here. THINKGREEN program! We are pleased to announce a partnership with Eastern Charlotte Waterways to help us implement the THINKGREEN fundraising program in Charlotte County. The THINKGREEN program involves collecting used inkjet and laser print cartridges and cell phones, which are sent in to be recycled which we are then paid for. Money from this project will go to our New Shelter Fund. So if you have any old inkjet or laser printer cartridges or cell phones around, just drop them off! Not only will you be helping us raise money, you'll be helping the environment as well! Cartridges and cell phones can be dropped off at: the CCSPCA Cat Shelter and Mayfield Vet Clinic in St. Stephen, Cummings Convenience Store and the Ross Memorial Library in St. Andrews, Image Express and the St. George Pharmacy in St. George and Eastern Charlotte Waterways in Black's Harbour. Need petsitting in St. Andrews? Caira and Freya Clark, 2 of our young supporters, have started Purrfect Pet Care, a petsitting business in St. Andrews. They are generously donating 50% of their profits to the CCSPCA! Please call them at 529-1091 for more info! Memorial Cards If you would like to make a donation in memory of a friend or loved one, memorial cards can be picked up in St. Stephen at Stuart's Gifts, Stationary Plus, Humphreys' Funeral Home and Mehan's Funeral Home. In St. Andrew's memorial cards are available at Cummings Convenience Store. In St. George you can find them at the St. George Funeral Home. Thank you for thinking of us. Donate a dog bed for the new shelter! We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our new facilities because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here. Thinking about declawing your cat? This invasive and painful surgery is not something the CCSPCA recommends. Read a vet's opinion on it here!
