Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic Update

Everyone at the sanctuary is very excited about the Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic we will be hosting October 21st and 22nd. Today is the day to call in and make your appointments! The phone number is 805-584-3823. Call now!

Both feral and companion cats will be accepted, two cats per household. Feral cats must be in a trap, and their ear will be tipped. Companion cats must me in a carrier. The Cat People hopes to host a spay/neuter clinic on a regular basis, and is asking for the communities support in this effort. All alteration surgeries will be free, but donations will be happily accepted and be put towards financing the next clinic.

Exciting happenings at the Sanctuary Coming Up!

Hi everyone,

The Cat People are very excited to let you know about a couple events coming up at the Sanctuary. First, we will be hosting a Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic in October. We do not have firm dates yet, but will post them when we’re confirmed. It’s something to see-a very large motor home, set up as a surgery where they can do spays and neuters on dogs and cats (our clinic will be for cats!) The five people crew can do 50 cats a day, and we will have them for two days! More information to come!

Secondly, The Cat People will host an open house on November 16th, a Saturday, from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Everyone is invited to come by for a visit. There will be appetizers on hand, awesome raffle baskets, vendors offering very cool items for sale, our very own Hot Cats and T-shirts available and a no-host wine and beer bar. Tours of the cottage will be running, and we’re hoping to have a grand photo gallery of the Mobile Spay/Neuter experience. Save the date…all your favorite Cat People will be there!

Adoption Days at the Sanctuary

The Pawsitively Cats Sanctuary is up and running. Saturday adoption days have been fun for both the volunteers and cats, with lots of new faces coming by to visit with all the friendly felines. If you’ve thought about donating some time or money to a worthy cause be sure to check out the sanctuary. Our volunteers are treasured members of the organization, and have a great time being part of a team working on behalf of the cats. Any morning will find three or four hard working folks feeding, watering and cleaning, all while enjoying the companionship of many wonderful cats and kits. Fill out a volunteer application if you think you might be interested, either here or at the Sanctuary. We’d love to have you!

Upcoming Events

Hi all! It’s been a little while since a new blog post, so we’ll bring you all up to date. First up is our Pizza with a Purrpose Fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen here in Bakersfield. This is a great deal for non-profits because it is so simple and easy for everyone. Go to California Pizza Kitchen on September 27th, any time-lunch or dinner, order your meal and 20% of your tab will be donated to The Cat People! Sweet, right? All you need to do is present the fundraising flyer to your server. You can print the flyer from the Facebook post or pick one up at the Sanctuary. See you there.

Next is The Cat People Rummage Sale. It is going to be huge! Saturday October 6th, from 7:00 am until noon, at Pawsitively Cats Sanctuary. A bunch of really great stuff has been donated to us: toys, tools, furniture, home decor, books and lots, lots more. Join us at 4120 East Drive. Come early so you can get the good buys! Better yet, if you’d like to volunteer to help let us know and we’ll put you to work.

Sanctuary

We are excited to announce that we have successfully purchased property that will one day serve as our long-awaited sanctuary and adoption center. We haven't moved in quite yet; there are countless renovations and modifications to be done before the property will be approved to house cats and kittens. We are working around the clock to get the space ready for the many cats and kittens in our system waiting to be adopted. The required renovations will cost tens of thousands of dollars, and we are hoping that you will continue to support us in our endeavor to create a much-needed safe and loving space for felines in Kern County. Donate a few bucks by clicking on the donate button below, and stay tuned for new volunteer opportunities just around the corner.

Help Onyx

The lack of compassion some people have for animals is unbelievable. Onyx is a completely declawed, older cat that was dumped last week and left for dead. She is so lucky that our volunteers found her and were able to capture her before something terrible happened. Do NOT dump your animals people! Taking them to the shelter is the humane option. Too often animals are killed after being dumped, or they live their life in constant fear and avoid being captured and saved. Especially Onyx, who doesn't even have claws to defend herself in the wild! Onyx is recovering from her ordeal and loving her new foster home, but she will need a dental before she can be adopted. If you are interested in helping Onyx, please consider pitching in for her dental. This girl deserves the best life possible!
