May 4th – Friday 12:00 – 8:00, May 5th – Saturday 10:00 – 8:00, May 6th – Sunday 12:00 – 6:00. The three-day pet adoption event was held at all PetSmart® stores in North America with a goal of helping to find thousands of pets a lifelong, loving home.

We want to thank all our wonderful members and volunteers that made it possible for us to participate. We found great homes for 28 animals over this past weekend. We were thankful for the opportunity to work with the other humane groups in our area and network with so many caring people.

2011 Accomplishments

The devastation of the April 27, 2011 tornados catapulted our community in ways we never imagined.  It has resulted in many contacts and partners that have lead us in many directions.   Through the help of supporters, volunteers and grants we were able to accomplish the following:

  • We provided assistance for 493 spay/neuters for cats and dogs this past year. 
  • We helped place 154 animals this year through adoptions, shelter transfers, rescues and networking to place in homes.  We also helped several cat colonies with TNR.
  • Many animals were kept in their homes through our efforts to help families in need.

We are very thankful for our supporters and volunteers that enable us to continue to help the families and animals of Catoosa County.

Grants

Best Friends awarded CCAC a $7,500 grant for the spay/neuter of cats Dec. 2010.  We have worked tirelessly to help many situations this past year, and have made great use of the funding.  We were able to help spay/neuter 296 cats. In April of 2012, we were awarded $7,000 from Best Friends in partnership with PetSmart Charities to help fund the spay/neuter of both cats and dog. This program is to help those in financial need. We all have the goal of “No More Homeless Pets.”

Catoosa Citizens for Animal Care received a generous grant of $1,500 from the A.S.P.C.A. (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to help low-income residents spay or neuter their pets. The mission of Catoosa Citizens for Animal Care is the humane treatment of animals, which is achieved through education, advocacy, pet adoptions, and low-cost spay/neuter programs. The prevention of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens reduces the number of animals that are left homeless or sent to shelters. According to the A.S.P.C.A., well over half of the animals that enter shelters are destroyed simply because there are no homes for them. Spaying or neutering pets helps reduce these numbers. If you think you may qualify for assistance, please call Catoosa Citizens for Animal Care at 706-937-2287. In February 20102, the A.S.P.C.A. has generously awarded us $5,000 for financial assistance with vet care to families that are in financial need. Our goal is to keep pets in their homes.

The Greg Biffle Foundation awarded CCAC a $2,000 grant to help fund our spay/neuter program.  They are generous supporters to many animal advocates.  Visit their website.

We recently rescued a sweet girl named Daisy. She was bought from a breeder as a pup – then abandoned as she reached adulthood. After rescuing her, we were informed by our Vet that poor Daisy is Heartworm POSITIVE! She is currently in week 3 of her treatment – but we desperately need help with her medial bills. If you can spare anything at all to help poor Daisy, please click the DONATE button on the left hand side and please be sure to include a note stating that your donation is for Daisy’s vet bills!
