Every Saturday our ACA volunteer team greets caretakers who have appointments for their community cats scheduled during the upcoming week. It's a great opportunity to hang out with friends, make new connections, and make a difference in the community in an easy way. They are arguably, one of our most fun and social days with multiple volunteer opportunities.

Whether you have every Saturday, every other Saturday, or a couple of hours on one Saturday each month available, we'd love for you to consider joining our team. Our next volunteer orientation is October 10 @ 6:30 p.m. @ our office, where we can answer all your questions. We hope to see you there! 😸

Grace recently came to us to be spayed and receive vaccinations and flea and ear mite treatment. All appeared to be well and Grace went back to her outdoor home after her two day stay at Alley Cat Advocates. After being home for a few days, her caretaker noticed she wasn't eating much. She came back to the Community Cat Complex and our veterinarian discovered an intestinal blockage, unrelated to the spay surgery, which she repaired. Grace continues to have complications and will be with us for some time while she heals.

Scenarios like this one are thankfully infrequent, but when they happen they take a toll on our budget as we have to utilize additional resources to ensure the cat gets the best care possible. Caring for Grace has used up a significant amount of dollars.

We are asking you today to please consider a gift to help us offset the cost of caring for Grace and other cats who come to us needing more than just spay or neuter surgery. With your support, together we can help these cats who desperately need us.

📓📏🚍Back to School Campaign - Supplies Request #08 📚✂🖍

WOW, it is Wednesday! That means it is time to tell you about one of the items on our Back to School Wishlist. One reason that we house cats that come in for surgery in their traps overnight is to allow them to remain clean and sanitary. Any waste easily falls through the trap onto the rack beneath. We keep the rack clean by lining it with a layer of plastic and newspapers. We are running low on the plastic that we use to cover the racks before the traps are put on them. The perfect size plastic is now on our Amazon and WalMart Wishlists. Order there and have it sent straight to our door.

If a cat has ever scratched you, you know how sharp and painful those little claws can be. So, you can imagine just how much pain Cinnamon was in when we found a claw embedded into her paw. A birth defect likely caused the claw to grow the wrong way. Our veterinarian will fix her right up with surgery to remove the offending toe. Once she heals no one will ever notice that she is one toe short. Please donate to help us cover the costs of the extra surgery and care for Cinnamon while she heals.

Every cat that comes to Alley Cat Advocates receives the same great package of services. In addition to spay or neuter, every kitty gets a rabies vaccination, fvrcp vaccination, treatment for fleas, ear mites and worms and an eartip. We also scan every cat for a microchip while they are in our care. This is provided at no cost or very low cost to caretakers.

All cats get the gold standard of care at Alley Cat Advocates. Dan is no exception. Dan came in with entropion in both eyes. He needed surgery to correct the inward curling eyelids so that he could see clearly and be pain-free. Fortunately, our veterinary team can help and he is now recovering. This sweet boy is so lucky to get great care. Can you donate to help us cover the costs of Dan's care?

Do you live in the Louisville, KY area and want to be a part of Alley Cat Advocates' great work? Your chance is coming up next week! Our monthly volunteer orientation is Thursday, December 14 at the Community Cat Complex, 3524 Newburg Road, at 6:30 p.m. During this short orientation, you will learn about how Alley Cat Advocates works, what we do, and how you can help as a volunteer. No need to r.s.v.p. Show up and make it even more fun by bringing a friend! https://alleycatadvocates.org/volunteer/volunteer-with-aca/

We are starting to run low on our paper towel supply. We care for (and clean up after) around 200+ cats a week, so we go through many rolls of paper towels. Please do; if you can find it in your heart, send a few rolls our way. You can have them sent through our Amazon wish list or from any online retailer you choose to 3524 Newburg Rd, Louisville, KY 40218. We also accept drop-off donations at the same address on Fridays and Saturdays between 12:30 and 3:30. Thank you so much for your continued support. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2X4PAGB1ZKGID?ref_=wl_share

Do you think you have lots of laundry? Our volunteers spend about 18 hours every week washing, drying, folding, and putting away loads and loads of laundry! With all this laundry, we need lots of laundry detergent. Could you please send us unscented laundry detergent ASAP? We appreciate it! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2X4PAGB1ZKGID?ref_=wl_share

Look at all that clean laundry. Volunteers come to the Community Cat Complex to do laundry almost every day. Some only come a couple of times a month and some are here a couple of times a week. No matter how often they can come, we appreciate all the hard work that each one of them does to help us keep the endless supply of laundry clean and folded and ready to use again! Laundry help is just one way that volunteers keep Alley Cat Advocates running. If you want to help with laundry or in any other way, please come to a volunteer orientation to learn more. The next one is September 18 at 2 p.m. https://alleycatadvocates.org/volunteer/volunteer-with-aca/
