Thank you so much to the St Bernard Animal Shelter & Bissell Foundation for helping us address the over-population of community cats in our Parish. Together we can fix the problem.

GOOD NEWS! Fundraising has been going better. Thanks to some generous donors, we have some sponsored TNR spots available for the Popup Clinic on Saturday, July 20th. If you are trapping a community cat or have trouble affording the $35 for this spay/neuter clinic please contact Barbara E. Meyer and ask for a sponsored spot. Please know that anything you can contribute donation-wise, even $5 or $10, helps us help the next person fix their cat.

The Popup Clinic next Saturday is being held at the LASPCA in Algeirs on the Westbank. You will need to deliver your cat by 8:00 a.m. Our TNR Heros Barbara E Meyer and Becky Rieker will be present to make sure everything runs smoothly for intake. You aill also need to pick your cat up around 1 or 2 p.m. when they call you.

FUNDING ALERT! It is time for me to make our supporters aware of recent developments. We are in a funding crisis. Funding for Trap Dat Cat has dropped off as well as our funding. In the past several months we have been able to fix 50-70 cats per month. With the new funding issues, Trap Dat Cat can only commit to about 20 cats. After, this Wednesday's surgery day with Paris Road Animal Hospital we will have less than $100 for Snip & Tip. Anyone who can pay or raise the $55 for their cat's surgery will help us fix the next cat.

For July, after the initial 20 or 30 cats have their surgery days we will only be able to provide appointments if the trapper/owner can pay the $55 in advance. We can also no longer pay for Convenia shots for injured cats. Those are $55 each as well. Trappers/owners are welcome to pay for the Convenia shots but we just don't have the funds right now to help with this.

A Heads Up To All Concerned People.
As most ppl know Barbara E Meyer now does the scheduling for our TNR Program in the Parish. When asking for an Appointment her very 1st question to you will be: Do you have Reliable Transportation? You are responsible for dropping off and picking up your cat(s) at the designated spot at the designated time. Please do not ask her to make an appointment(s) for you then at the last minute have this be the reason your cat(s) missed the appointment(s) Please understand our waiting list is very long and breeding females are a Big Priority right now. I very well could have scheduled someone that not only has been waiting for an appointment but has that female cat(s) that need Spay Surgery.
Thank you for your understanding in this situation.
Barbara E Meyer
