The Elizabeth Project

This momma cat right here, she’s one we really have been after and helped push us to get this going sooner than later. She lives at the Station. In this year alone, she has had 4 PLUS litters of kittens. And she’s a terrible mom. She now will go back to her colony and live a happy, kitten free life.

Today we were able to do one spay and one neuter. Tomorrow a spay as well. Two more momma cats after that. If all goes planned this week, we will have fixed 11 in total cats!! How cool is that!!

Also thank you for more donations. Kennels. Food. Litter. Bowls. Toys. Treats. The kittnes are enjoying it and it’s really been a blessing!

We will be on vacation next week, watching my son become an Airman, and then surgery at the end of the month. So with that we will be slowing down on spays/nueters for a couple of weeks. In those weeks we work on getting flyers out and asking for donations etc.

Kennels all cleaned and litter changed. Busy morning. I’m now headed to get 4 more kittens!! I will be caring and starting to place 7 kittens soon. Cuteness overload coming!

Weekends are kind of quiet. We can’t really trap as we don’t want to keep a cat(s) in a trap/carrier/kennel longer than needed.

However that doesn’t mean we aren’t busy. I currently am housing one really sick male cat, and a momma and her 3 babies. I’m also bringing home 4 more kittens tomorrow. Busy busy!! Thanks to donations these things have been made possible!!

My goal this week is to spay/neuter a cat every day with being able to take 3 on a day this week. That is up to 8 cats this week!! Not to mention, seek help with sick kitty. So starting a new week, I’m asking to continue with donations. Call Red Willow Animal Clinic 308 345 4143. Or message the page.

We have had 3 traps donated for use, 2 traps donated to the project. I have purchased 2 carriers. A giant bag of blankets and washable pads were dropped off this week. You guys rock!! Keep it up!!

3 momma cats trapped, 2 have been spayed. 3rd one has 4 kittens, hoping to catch the last one tonight, once they are old enough she’ll get spayed and need a home. Also one male has been neutered ☺️

2 kittens coming Monday
4 kittens hopefully with this momma.

So we could use toys, food, litter, etc.

Foster homes will be needed in the future.

Several ways to help ☺️ shoot us a message.

Another momma cat, she’ll never have to worry about having kittens again!! All this is possible due to everyone involved. It takes a village and we have one helping us!! She’ll be returned to her territory and I’ll keep working on trying to catch the males, and two kittens that have been with the two females. However daddy cats are being naughty and enluding traps but managing to eat the goodies 😂🙄

Momma is recovering for the night. She will return to her territory in the morning. I’m hoping I can catch her remaining two kittens tonight 🤞🏽🤞🏽

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who donated today!! We had a few and we have many cats and kittens we are now able to help!! Thank you thank you! We have only reached a small amount of people. I can not wait for this to grow!!

I also am grateful for the blankets that were donated too! Many exciting things to come. Keep spreading the word ❤️

We just dropped off a spay and a neuter this morning!! Yay!! Thank you, thank you!! I will post pick up pictures.

Can you please take a moment to go and like and share/invite some of your friends. Our numbers are growing 🙂 and I love that!! I would like to start tomorrow with one momma cat, who would like to pledge to cover her spay and rabies? I’m looking to have $100 in the account Monday and then we will have a positive blance and be able to start making a difference! $100 would cover one female or 2 males!! I think that speaks volumes on how much Dr. Wayne and Dr. Teel are also helping provide their services!!

Donation jars around town will be live next week. I will post where. Currently there is a donation jar at Ed’s cafe 🙂

Flyers, information, and such coming soon as well. Fundraising ideas? Want to help, please, we are open to hearing about ideas! How about a charity bingo in the future? Working out some details for that as well!!

We are ready to go full swing! Please call Red Willow Animal @ 345-4143 and you can now directly donate to the Elizabeth Project. Wayne, Bree, and their staff have been amazing working with us and they are providing very reasonable rates, to help us!! We are so beyond excited!!

Stay tuned for more. In the mean time, like, share, and invite your friends 🙂
