Dedication (noun): the willingness to give a lot of time ⏰️ and energy to something because it is important (to you).
🎯 I couldn't think of a better word to describe what took place this past weekend for the SAF team :)
🎯 Between Friday and Saturday, we took forty-seven (47) cats to the Nobody's Cats Foundation clinic, for TNR services.
🎯 This project happened because of 5 volunteers (Janelle, Lindsey, Kathy, Kim and Kristina's) absolute dedication to the end goal - trap, vet and help as many cats as we can to celebrate .
🎯 47 cats 🐈 who won't be reproducing thanks to the efforts of caretakers, the SAF team, and the incredible staff at the Nobody's Cats Foundation. Also, a massive thank you to them for covering all 47 cats, thanks to a generous donor 😇
We started prepping for this project weeks in advance by assessing the colonies, meeting with the caretakers, setting up cameras (thanks SMCC), and trap acclimating in an effort to be successful!
This project required many, many round trips for us, lots of baiting of traps, praying, cleaning cages, tagging cats, laundry, paperwork, more cleaning, feeding, washing carriers and traps, figuring out why there is so much 💩 everywhere...and not losing our sanity (bc Gosh, the liquid poops).
We are extremely grateful to have touched the lives of 47 cats this past weekend 🙏 unfortunately, 12 of the 47 wil be doing extended stays with us for medical holds. Theyre settling in very well at the rescue and have zero complaints about the menu, thus far :)
Thanks for your support - the likes 👍, the comments, the virtual high-fives, and always answering our plea for donations/supplies.
As I always say, it truly takes a village ♡
