Cats Are People, Too! Club, Inc.’s Blog

When Sydney’s sixth birthday came around on April 19th, she asked her mom to help her arrange a birthday party that would help our shelter cats. Syndey and her friends had a great time and our lucky kittens and cats got the presents! Thanks a ton, Syndey, for all the great stuff. We’ll be talking about this for a long time!

These pictures show sisters Kate and Sydney holding pictures of two of the shelter cats that benefited from the party and the whole group of party girls (Kate, Sydney, Madelyn, Jackie, Julie, Emma, and Alyssa) taking a break from the festivities. These young ladies are the epitome of “pretty is, as pretty does”!

Girl Scout Troop 424 from Portage County recently visited our shelter. The girls got into the swing of things by doing some of the dirtier jobs that need to be done, such as scrubbing and mopping, as well as some of the more fun things, such as playing with the cats. They brought along some handmade cats toys as well as a generous donation. Here are some pictures from that fun day!

Steve Schenck of the Tribune Chronicle was kind enough to spend several mornings with us taking pictures of our shelter, some of our volunteers, and of course, our fabulous felines. Go to cu.tribune-chronicle.com to see some great photos. We feel like celebrities!

Hello everyone! You’ll notice that our events calendar no longer appears on our home page. Instead, we will post current events here on our blog, which is much easier to update (and therefore can be kept more current — thanks Melody!)

I also updated our Amazon.com links, so that we now have our very own Amazon.com CAPT store! I’ve tailored it specifically for cat lovers (with a few dog-related things as well!), so if you’re looking for cat books, DVDs, even supplies, please check out the store. I think you’ll find it a bit more relevant to CAPT than the Amazon.com links have been in the past. And don’t forget CAPT receives a percentage of every purchase, at no additional cost to you! You can also “click-through” to Amazon from the CAPT store to search for anything they carry, and CAPT will benefit that way as well. Please remember the kitties the next time you shop online! And as always, thanks for your support.

Our 2008 CAPT calendars are now available at the CAPT shop:

These one-page calendars feature Snow and Teddy. They are $6.49, with all proceeds going directly to Cats Are People, Too! We are also working on a 12-month calendar, but we need your help! If you have any fantastic shots of your cats (no people in the photo, please) that are high-resolution, please send them to webmaster at catsarepeopletoo dot org (replacing the “at” and “dot” with the real things, and removing the spaces).

This is the official blog for Cats Are People, Too in Warren, Ohio. Here you’ll find news, events, and information we’d like to share with you. Please check back to see what’s new!
