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!

Please check out the following link. Thank you to Sandi for putting this together, it truly captures his spirit!
