Adoption Success Story
Within 12 months, Pierre and Dana sadly lost four of their feline companions and two elderly dogs. They were hesitant to adopt again after so much heartbreak, but learned about The Dancing Cat and had to check it out! There, they met a Maine Coon mix who had been found in a backyard with much of her fur missing and infected sores covering her body. They felt an immediate connection and returned, where they fell in love with her sense of mischief and easy affection. Renamed Princess Leia, this feline warrior now resides happily with her forever family (which includes a kitten sidekick named Bruce Lee).
It's Kitten Season!
Kitten season is upon us, and we need your help taking care of all the kittens that have arrived on our doorstep. Here are the top three ways that you can lend a helping paw:
Foster a kitten (or two!): If you have extra space in your home, consider taking in some kittens until they can be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and put up for adoption. We need folks who are willing to take care of these little bundles of joy until they're about 2 months old.
Refer a friend: Have friends who are cat lovers? Ask them if they'd be interested in signing up to foster.
Donate kitten supplies: If you can't foster a kitten, you can provide supplies for our foster parents! Our need for food, litter, and other essentials is growing every year.
Volunteer Steve Ashford developed our Foster Appreciation Program and does a beautiful job of hand crafting frames and plaques for first time fosters and foster champions. Thank you so much for your creative contribution, Steve!
A huge thank you to Michelle Walker for responding to all adoption inquiries and assisting our team with finalizing adoptions! SVPP and all of our furry friends are so grateful for your hard work.
