FUND  RAISING  EVENT AT

KANATA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

 

 

This past   week we at the sanctuary were pleasantly surprised to receive a generous donation. There was also a letter attached to tell us the story behind this donation.

Two of the students, a pair of brother and sister team Andrea and Eric came up with an idea to raise funds for our cat sanctuary. Over the past few months they were looking to adopt a animal member to join  their family and unfortunately due to allergies they could only adopt a dog but they also wanted to some how  help the cats. " If you can't adopt a cat  at least raise some funds for them"   was their brilliant idea.

 

With the guidance of their school principal Jonathan Robinson and the  teaching staff they arranged a time and place to hold the fundraising; for 4 days they stood in the lobby and collected donations. They also wrote an article to the school's monthly  newspaper to prepare the students for the upcoming event.

With all the teaching staff, students and their parents who got involved it was a very successful  event which will help to make our feline residents comfortable , well fed and take care of the medical emergencies.

THANK  YOU  ANDREA and ERIC for your hard work on behalf of the felines and THANK  YOU to all who took part in this event we are very grateful. We can say without a doubt "a caring new generation is on it's way".

 

Below is the article from the school newspaper:

Country Cat Rescue (CCR) fundraiser

organized by brother and sister team at KMS

Over the summer, we’ve been looking at animal shelters and pet rescue networks, because we want to adopt a pet. We came across Country Cat Rescue (CCR) that is a rescue shelter and sanctuary for cats and is run by volunteers. They have dozens of cats waiting to be adopted. They provide veterinary care to the cats and most important, they have a “no kill” policy. That’s why they also have dozens of cats who can’t be adopted and are going to spend the rest of their life at CCR. Those are cats that were born in the wild, or were abused and cannot live with families.

With so many cats they need lots of help. They work on donations so that’s where we can help. 100% of all proceeds raised through donations/sponsorship go to help the cats directly. There are no paid employees, administration fees and no professional fund-raisers to pay. CCR is a registered charity.

It’s also possible to choose to sponsor a certain cat -$10 will help a cat for a month, $100 will help for a year.

They are also looking for donations of food and cat litter, cat toys and beds, blankets and more.

You can learn more about Country Cat Rescue by going to their website: http://www.countrycatrescue.com.

KMS students, please bring some donations for the cats. Any amount will help. We will be in the front lobby from Monday October 5th to Thursday October 8th .

Or if you are thinking of a cat, take a look at their website. There are so many cute cats and kittens to choose from.

 

The main fund raising event for Country Cat Sanctuary was held Oct. 10th from 9 a.m. To 5 p.m.

At the Food Basics, Hwy 43, Kemptville, ON. 

 

 

 

OUR BOUNTY & SOME OF OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTERS....

         

    

Bake/Bazaar Sale A Monster Success

 

They say everyone is here for a purpose and that strength is in numbers. Well the people involved in the bake/bazaar sale proved it. To begin with we have Gwen who has literally sacrificed beyond belief and selflessly devoted her past 11 years to rescuing and saving the unwanted. Then we have the people who believe in her badly needed cause , the bakers, who were friends, family, and some complete strangers. Without their generous donations of baked goods  this sale could not have happened. Then we had the volunteers, the sewers, the woodworkers, the cat nip donator, the handyman and his wife the material stretcher.  They all came together for one reason, the felines at Country Cat Sanctuary.  And united they prepared tables of items made with love.

            

The skies looked pretty grim on Friday night but the Gods shone down on the kitties in need and the sun came out Saturday and warmed the shoppers hearts.  In the morning they came in hoards and one by one as they glanced over all of the items ranging from baked goods, to cat toys, cat hammocks and cat beds. They came to support and to buy, and buy they did, single items, double, triple and even boxes full . On top of that most gave donations or said keep the change which were considerable amounts and added a lot to our donation box . As the day passed the tables continually cleared and in the end only 8 items remained.  We cannot thank our supporters enough, the volunteers, the bakers, the sewers, the woodworkers , the cat nip donator, the handyman and his wife the material stretcher and most importantly the people who came one by one and in crowds to support the rescued. Without this joint effort on behalf of the cats and kittens this very successful day could not have happened. From the bottom of the feline residents hearts at Country Cat Sanctuary thank you for caring and showing us united love.We surpassed our greatest expectations and that was reason to rejoice on this Thanksgiving weekend. And the true spirit of Thanksgiving  was shared by Gwen and all her selflessly hard working supporters for the most important creatures of the day, the rescues who are deeply loved by all of us.  It might have only been a bake/bazaar sale but for all involved from beginning to end it was a deep love and we proudly wear our hearts on our sleeves for the abandoned, the abused, and the rescued. And united we are strong and we have a purpose and this deep love for the felines at Country Cat Sanctuary is what made this sale a monster success. Never ever underestimate the power of love it will always prevail and even on a cloudy day succeed. To all who took part a huge thank you, with love from the abandoned, the abused and the rescued. 

           

Please come again next year
