Open Day 1 December 2012

Our annual Open Day was held, once again, at Waterkloof Animal Hospital. The rain stayed away and we had a lovely day with plenty of colourful, homemade goodies, white elephant, plants, cd's and dvd's, books and a tea table with delicious eats. We raffled a beautiful book on cats with a hand-painted cushion. Tea was enjoyed in the tea garden with tables decorated with bright Christmas cloths and pretty posies of flowers.

We enjoyed chatting to friends and family as well as people that had adopted kittens from us in the past.

Many thanks to all those who supported our successful Open Day - Those who sewed, donated things, collected things, made eats, helped on the day and to Frank for the lovely photos. We packed up, tired but happy, after a most enjoyable morning. The money raised will be a big help towards caring for rescue kittens.

 

   
     
     

We have been trying to contact Mrs J Van Niekerk to thank her for her generous donation to Cats'9Lives but the cell number given on the Bank form is incorrect.

Become a volunteer

Want to get involved, why not volunteer by becoming one of our foster moms?

We provide the milk, pellets and take kittens in to be homed when they are old enough, but bottle feeding is a most rewarding job as it is so worthwhile to watch their development.

Cat Trivia:

As with many predators, cats have retractable claws. This is actually a misnomer because in their normal, relaxed position the claws are sheathed with the skin and fur around the toe pads. This is done to keep the claws sharp by preventing wear from contact with the ground. It is only by stretching, such as a cat swatting at prey, that the connecting tendons are pulled taut, forcing the claws to extend. Thus, extending the claws is an involuntary action for cats.
