It's getting closer!!

Only three weeks until golf and five weeks until trivia!
Golf teams are filled, but there’s still room for more tables at trivia! Also, if you want to play trivia but don’t have a group, come on out! We’ll have a singles table you can join for $20.

These babies are doing so well and are really coming out of their shells in their wonderful foster home. All three of them are ready for someone to call them their own ❤️❤️❤️

Well, we released Boots today. He was very unhappy being indoors and was not getting used to people. We gave him vaccines when we neutered him and he has been eating well, so I hope he enjoys his freedom. It was bittersweet. Hopefully he sticks around and we will get to see him from time to time.

Momma Jessie did well after her spay. She has also been microchipped and tested Felv/FIV negative. She needs a loving forever home. She is very sweet, but will be shy at first. Please share so that her parents know we are looking for them.

Boots, the kid we neutered, microchipped and vaccinated last week, is healed and ready to be released. He is very feral and will do better outside. Hopefully he will choose to stick around. Our barn cat, Momma, is 14 years old and could probably use a little help keeping all these mice and rabbits in line.

The event committee is meeting a week from Sunday to make final preps for our events. Have ordered some golf shirts with the Hootie's logo and will have those for purchase at golf and trivia. They are sand with the blue Hootie's logo over your heart.

Can't wait! See you soon.

Good Morning! Things are shaping up for both golf and trivia.

Last I heard from Russ, we have one spot left to fill for golf. Give him a call if interested 314-805-7742.

We have 11 tables for trivia and can accommodate even more, so get your friends together and come on by for a rockin' good time.

With the donation from Gary & Katie, we are adding some drink purchasing options to golf such as shots of Jagermeister, Crown Royal Apple, Fireball & some assorted whiskeys. We are playing with the idea of adding a frozen drink, maybe a bourbon slush. Will also be offering Ghirardelli hot chocolate along with your morning Jo with option of purchasing shots of Baileys, amaretto or peppermint schnapps to add to your beverage. Will keep you posted.

Drink options for purchase at Trivia will include assorted red wines and maybe some dog themed drinks. Have a bottle of tequila strawberry cream, so working up a drink maybe with fresh strawberries.

Silent auction items between the two events are heating up with a Getaway to HermanHill, more beautiful jewelry from Abby Keough, amazing ceramics from Cherokee Street Ceramics, Purina basket, Tickets to the StL Aquarium, StL Blues tickets, stunning Kendra Scott Jewelry, Wine Tastings from PRP Wines, Katie's PIzza & Pasta goodies, Stumpy's Distillery Tour & Tasting, Total Wine & More wine class, psychic readings from Julie Kerns, YSL clutch and so many other things that my fingers are tired from typing.

Hope to see you at one or both events!

We got lucky and trapped Momma kitty last night. She will go in Thursday to be spayed, tested for Felv/FIV and vaccinated. She is adorable and will be looking for a home. Please share.

Great start to the morning! Trapped the last of the kittens today! We can now trap mom and the male that we affectionately call Jackass. (If you met him, you would understand.) Boots, the male we trapped last, is older and not taming down at all. He was neutered, vaccinated and microchipped on Friday and we will release him on the farm next weekend after he has healed from his surgery. We may have to do the same for Jackass. Momma, our barn cat, is 13 years old, so she might appreciate some help keeping the mice and rabbit population under control.

Hi! Wanted to send a HUGE thank you to Gary & Katie who donated quite a few cases of top-shelf liquor for our events. We will put it to good use.

Have 9 tables so far for trivia. It is $200 for a table of 10. Please let me know if you would like to join us. Can go to hootiesrescue.org and hit the donate button and put trivia in the memo field, venmo at hootiesrescue-haven or send a check to 2456 Hwy TT st clair mo 63077.

The theme this year is Rock 'n' roll through the ages. Here's a warm-up: Who sang the rock ballad 'With or Without You?

Hope to see you there.

This is the new kid that we caught in the live trap a few days ago. Still not sure of the s*x of this one, but is eating and using the box when no one is looking. Will be spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped & Felv/FIV tested on Friday. Will keep everyone posted. We still have 2 adults and 1 kitten yet to trap. Please realize that this makes 10 cats/kittens that we have had to take in in a very short period of time. We have no room for these kiddos at the rescue, so need to get them into forever homes as quickly as possible. Brenda and Jennifer will be fostering Rex, Bo Peep and Molly. Thank you both for always answering the call. Please share these kiddos and let folks know they can also view them on Petfinder.
