Our FUN-Raiser was a great success! We raised $1500 & received many great donations but boy was it a hot one! Thank you to all our valued volunteers who helped us make this a success and to everyone who joined the fun for a good cause. Go to our fundraiser page to see more pictures!
Our annual rummage was a huge success and we want to thank every volunteer, business and helper who contributed to our success. THANK YOU to Quicksigns for our wonderful banner, we are so grateful! Thank you to all who sponsored our tents and tables as this is a huge cost for us and that allows all monies to go directly to the care of our cats. We are glad to announce we raised $10,000 at this rummage which makes this our most profitable event so far. With kitten season upon us, some very ill felines in our care and the constant battle against the current state of the economy, this money is much needed and we couldn’t be more pleased!
UPDATE: We are happy to announce Mimi found a wonderful home and has been adopted! Thank you seems like such small words, but SHP would like to thank each and everyone who helped give this precious soul a second chance at life. THANK YOU!
We have rescued a young and beautiful girl named Mimi and we want to thank everyone who has graciously helped us, help this little girl. She is currently doing very well and on the road to full recovery. To visit her fundraising page go to: HELP MIMI
