RAPS: October Kitties
|
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Friday night I was back at RAPS to feed the kitties, however my helper Tiffany had come an hour early, and when I arrived she was finished all the big plates of food. So I did the little plates for the sick kitties in cages, and she did the dry food and waters. She had to leave early.
Then I washed out the cans for recycling as Shannon arrived. I wandered around giving out loves and taking pictures. I decided I was pretty tired (and hungry) by 7 PM. Everything was done long before that so - I drove home. It gets so dark so early now.

Read the story wonderful adoption story of the dog Mia:
Mia was at the RAPS City Shelter longer than any dog (around 1.5 years), despite the fact that she has a wonderful personality, a happy and playful demeanor, great training potential and high intelligence. She just needed the right person to come along, and that right person was Melanie.
Thanks Melanie.

Richmond Animal Protection Society (RAPS) is a registered charity that operates two shelters in the City of Richmond, British Columbia. The first shelter, on No. 6 Road in Richmond, is North America's largest cat sanctuary. At this shelter homeless and abandoned cats and kittens are rescued and cared for. Most of these beautiful animals would have otherwise faced starvation, injury, disease and an early death due to the many hazards in their environment. The cat sanctuary is currently home to more than 800 animals. The second shelter is the City of Richmond Animal Shelter, which RAPS have operated since February 2007. In 2006, RAPS bid for and was awarded the city contract to take over operation of this shelter. By expanding to a second facility, RAPS now cares for a wider variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small domestic animals. In addition, the RAPS City Shelter runs a comprehensive adoption program to find the animals at this facility a safe and loving home.

 I have made a personal pledge page to collect donations for RAPS. I hope to raise money for the charity through this blog. I have all ready donated, and donate monthly. You can set up monthly donations through CanadaHelps or do a one time gift. You can always pick one specific cat at the shelter to sponsor as well, there is a sponsor program (info available on their web site). If you are interested in adopting an animal, please contact RAPS directly.
Every bit helps.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
