Castaways Pet Rescue, Inc.: Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

We purchased the materials to build a new cattery for the rescue (third photo). Previously, the adolescent cats were kept in crates with litter boxes and food and water. This method does not give them ample room to run and play and it is difficult to keep their habitats clean. We purchased the materials to build a cattery so that the young, sterilized cats awaiting adoption can have a place to get some energy expended.

In 2017, Castaways Pet Rescue adopted 205 cats and kittens, and we are on track to adopt many more this year. We are currently at over 170 adoptions for 2018 as this grant report is being written. It has been a horrific kitten season and the rescue is currently housing approximately 50 cats and kittens.

Mama kittie Sheba (first photo) gave birth to the kittens in the second photo. The kids have now “flown the coop” and Sheba is getting a little exercise time to get her girlish figure back before she goes to PetSmart for adoption.
