Lately, there’s an awful lot of focus on Kittenaid2011. It’s a week from Sunday, so that’s understandable (if you plan on attending, why not hop on over to the facebook page and RSVP?) but we certainly don’t want to give you the impression that that’s the only thing we’re working on. Far from it. It is important for us to raise funds, obviously, and we’re excited about the event, but we never want helping out cats in need to take a backseat to fundraising.
Here is just a snippet of what else is going on:
1. We have two really delightful kittens currently in a foster home that are hoping to get adopted. We’ve had a couple of inquiries about them, but at this point they are still available! They go by the names of Pinkie (m) and Ella (f). Here are some old-timey looking photos!

We don’t have the adoption questionnaire up on the site yet, but in the meantime, you can request one, or inquire about these friendly babies by emailing Katherine at katherinedmau@gmail.com.
2. Web stuff, like making this site work, getting registered with Petfinder (we’re still working on this one!) and what have you. This is the boring stuff!
3. Working hard on trying to trap an adorable family in Midtown Detroit. It is a mother cat with two kittens, and unfortunately, the mom knows we’re up to something. We want to get them while the kittens are still young enough to socialize, before it gets really cold, and before the mom cat has more babies. When we are able to trap them, the whole family will all be spayed/neutered and vaccinated (as well as receiving any other necessary medical care) at All About Animals in Warren, Mi. The kittens will be fostered and then adopted into new happy homes, the mom will either be fostered and adopted, or re-released after she’s recovered from surgery, depending on how feral she is.
We’ll keep you posted!
4. Talking with our friends and neighbors, to try to help as many homeless cats as our time and funds will allow, and planning for future partnerships. We’re also looking into ways we can help responsible cat owners get their cat-friends spayed/neutered both inexpensively and conveniently. Look for more announcements concerning these things soon!
Oh yeah, and there’s still plenty to do before Kittenaid2011 on October 16th! Phew!
