Lovie Helping Cat Colonies

12/21/2023

Lovie Helping Cat Colonies - a group Lovie & I, Nikki Chaganos, run in the Fox Valley, WI area, to collect donations for cat colony caretakers & their cats. 😺 Due to a recent death in my family - my dog Moonie - I have fallen behind on keeping up with the page & collecting donations. 😿 My sincerest apologies! 🙏 But Lovie & I are back at it!! 💯 This is all we have - a few small bags of cat food which we are really grateful for. 💓 If you get any money, gift cards, etc for the holidays - and by some slim chance you want to use them to help the wonderful & caring people who are so marvelous from helping a few homeless cats that come to their homes at night TO barns that house/feed MANY of them cuz of people dumping them - THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!! 🥳 REMINDER - THIS IS NOT FOR PETS - this is for people helping outside cats with no homes....while we try to find them homes, get vet care, connect with other associations, etc. 🫶🫶 🥲 The shelters & rescues are overflowing. 🥺 They don't have room for anymore cats. 😫 Anything is welcome and appreciated. 😻 If you can't think of something - here is an Amazon Wish List to use or get ideas from - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3BXW22LV05SWC/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_3
If you want to drop off food, beds, etc your cats no longer want (or new items) - you can do so at your convenience on my front porch - 937 Adams St (block between Lake St & Western Ave) Neenah WI. 🏡 I check for deliveries, mail, donations all the time. No need to contact me. Just don't knock cuz of the dogs! 😆
If you want to make a monetary donation - you can do so via the address I gave above or Venmo - Nikki-Chaganos (last 4 dig of phone # is 8920 ) - for more questions & info - feel free to text at 920.574.8920. 📱
Thank you for taking the time to read this during this very busy time of year! 😽

‼️HOME NEEDED/NEENAH, WI AREA‼️ - Meet 2 yr old spayed Daria! 👋 She's quite grateful to Denise Hoffman for rescuing her & her kittens from the dangers & elements from outside. ⛈🌨💨🦅🐺 Even more grateful for getting herself & babies to the vet for spay/neuter & vaccinations! 🧑‍⚕️The kittens are not ready for a home - but sweet Daria is! 🥳 Due to living outside / lack of human contact (something Denise is working on) Daria is a little shy. 🫣 Her new home will have to patient with her until she comes around - but as you can see from the pictures - she's a little ham! 🍖 Daria also has a heart murmur. 🥲 A HUGE reason she cannot be released back outside. 😿 This was discovered during her spay so a full work up was not done. 🩻 Daria's new home would be encouraged to bring her in for a complete wellness check & follow the vet's recommendations for treatment if treatment is indeed necessary. ❤️ She's a very special kitty & we know there is a very special home just waiting for her! 🏡 Thank you for taking the time to "meet" Daria! 😽 (If interested plz PM me (Nikki Chaganos) or text 920.574.8920)

Lovie Helping Cat Colonies donated MORE food on 11/16/23!!! 👏👏👏This was once a 30 cat colony which is now down to 8 thanks to a determined cat colony caretaker who was determined to get the number down by spaying/neutering. 💯 Neighbors also stepped in and adopted cats from the property! 🥰 Feeding 8 cats out of your own pocket is STILL expensive! 💵 Many thanks to the donors who provided hard & canned food to these grateful kitties & their caretaker! 💝

Lovie Helping Cat Colonies dropped off some MUCH needed donations including hard & soft cat food, heated bowl, & heating pad to this 10 cat colony. 😺 As you can see - the loving caretaker made a nice shelter which was built by 2x4's, insulated w/plastic, and covered w/tarps. 🛖 The inside has artificial grass great for outdoors. 👍👍 And we CANNOT ignore the insulated cat houses and other cozy amenities for the cats. 😻 This is a REMINDER that cat colony caretakers or a care taker of a 1 or 2 cats go out of their way to keep them safe!! 😍So - if you'd like to help these caretakers going out of their way for cats who would be left to fend for themselves - plz be feel free to help them out by donating if you can. 🥰

Winter is NOT a happy time for outdoor cats! 😾😿

Lovie Helping Cat Colonies (formerly Lovie's Little Pet Food Pantry) - has a new name & mission! 🥳 Lovie will now be focusing efforts on helping cat colonies & caretakers. 😻 Lovie & I, Nikki Chaganos, both gravitate towards the feral, strays, lost, & cat colonies in the Fox Valley, WI community. 💘 Those cats are often misunderstood & unwanted. NOT BY THEIR CHOICE!! 😿 They have to NOT only survive the weather but animal predators, cruel humans, traffic, poison, etc. 😢 Our mission is to collect cat supplies for caretakers to help them continue to feed these sweet souls...especially with winter coming....and hunting will become less successful. ☃️❄️🌬 We ALSO see ALL the wonderful people in the area who help unhomed cats & are doing it out of their own pockets! 💗 That isn't cheap! 💵💵💵 If you happen to have some cat food - either dry or canned - and you can drop it off at 937 Adams St Neenah WI 54956 (block between Lake St & Western Ave). I'll get it to the caretakers. 🚗 They don't need high quality food....PLZ CHECK W/SHELTERS & RESCUES if you have that as they are desperate for supplies as well. 📱 Stay tuned!!! 😽 And if you are helping cats - send Lovie Helping Cat Colonies a message & thank you! 🥰

Lovie Helping Cat Colonies provides support & help for those who care for less unfortunate cats.

In regards to Lovie's Little Free Pet Food Pantry - I REALLY NEED people to STOP messaging / texting me when the pantry is out of food. 🛑 People just needs to come back & recheck. 🚗 I'm sorry if it's inconvenient - but I do have a business and am not home ALL day. 🏃‍♀️ I stock when I leave, when I come, and other times thru out the day! 😊 I am quite aware when it's empty and will refill it! 👍 This is NOT Walmart where I have stockers! 🚫 And NO - there are NO good times to come over! ⏰ I can stock the pantry and in less than an hour it's empty - or there are days I don't have to restock at all. 🤷‍♀️This is something I thought the community needed & could provide. 🥰 But it's NOT my job! 💯 Thank you to those who are so appreciative, leave kind paper notes in the pantry, send nice messages, and donate. 💗 That is what keeps me & the pantry going! 🐹🐱

POTTY PADS NEEDED - NEENAH, WI My phenomenal friend, who wishes to remain anonymous (NO it's not me 😉), is fostering 9 puppies on her own. 🐹🐾💗 One rescue has stepped up to help with food/vaccinations. 🥰 However - puppies go thru A LOT of potty pads. 😩Lovie's Little Free Pet Food Pantry was able to donate some potty pads due to a surplus in storage. 🫶 However - I would love to get some donations just for this litter of 9. 🙏🙏 If you have extra potty pads or can afford to order some - they can be dropped off/delivered to Nikki Chaganos 937 Adams St Neenah WI 54956. 📦 I will get them to my paw-some friend ASAP! 🏃‍♀️ Thank you so much! 💝
