December 30th, 2009

Season's Greetings OC Supporters,    

Let's kick-off the New Year together to help homeless cats by bringing them to the inaugural Spay Day of 2010. On Sunday, January 10th, we will be sterilizing stray and feral cats in an effort to humanely stop feral cat overpopulation in our community. 
 
We need you! 

 
We need clinic volunteers and ferals to fix!
 
Please share the cause with your friends by mouth, email, Facebook, Twitter, or however you prefer to get the word out.

As always a delicious lunch will be provided to all clinic volunteers. Help make this lunch possible by bringing a food item. Contact us to see what is needed.

We look forward to seeing you Sunday, January 10th!

Come Hungry 

Lunch is always provided. 
Food
Each month nearly a hundred volunteers are fed thanks to a few thoughtful folks who prepare a massive spread for all who help to enjoy. 
 
Show them your gratitude and chip-in!
Donations are not mandatory but they do keep us from using the limited and precious funds we have for fixing ferals. If you're able please put some change in the donation jar at the lunch table so that we can buy supplies to make lunch next month. The more you give, the better the fare. Donations of food items are also welcome.
 
If you would like to help prepare lunch or donate an item (i.e. refreshment, chips, pastries) please email us.
