Hi! My name is Katie, and I am the office manager in the Cat Building at the Conway Area Humane Society. Since Bucky is adopted and living in his new forever home, and Tripod Tom has also found his new home, I am taking over as the Blog Queen. I am, after all, the Office Queen! I look like a Scottish Fold, but I actually had a bad case of ear mites many years ago that gave me my special look.
I want to tell you all about how wonderful things have been here at CAHS. The humans started a 1000-100-10 fundraiser, 'cause I heard the shelter might have to close its doors! What would happen to me and all of my feline and canine friends?? I was so upset I called all of my friends who went to new homes in the past year and asked them to help. Checks for $100 started coming in. So did checks for more and less than $100. The shelter has been saved, thanks to the kindness of my friends' humans! The humans who work at CAHS went out and asked for help everywhere they could think of - the TV, radio, newspapers, even in the streets, and help came from everywhere.
A little girl came in last week and gave $13 to help the animals here at the shelter. She was saving up to buy stuffed animals 'cause she lost her collection in a house fire, but when she heard we needed help she decided to give it to us. I didn't cry, but I saw the humans crying, they were so touched! Then some 4th graders from Hillside Elementary in Berlin called. I heard them all on the speaker phone reporting that they raised over $500 with a bake sale and setting up a table in front of Wal-Mart! Another little girl stole, oops I mean borrowed her mom's cell phone and called everyone in her contact list and asked them to send money to help! And so many others are out there helping! Some folks are collecting money in the place where they work and sending a collection. We are all so grateful. When the humans leave at the end of the night, we all talk about our favorite part of the day.I will report more later, as well as post some fun photos, but right now I have some data entry to do!
