Here's an organization that is always needing assistance. If you open the attached newsletter (I've checked it for viruses and it's clean), there's a list of items that you may have around the house in a yard sale pile that you might be willing to donate (small throw rugs, baskets, cat toys), or other easy to grab items like antiseptic mouthwash and paper towels that you may find yourself willing to donate. And tax exempt cash donations are always welcome.
Please take time to check Wendy's website -- she has over 90 cats living in her home (not in a shelter out back or a barn -- in her HOUSE). The family and volunteers spend about 4 hours every morning changing litter boxes, vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing bowls....all so these kitties can have a home and learn to be part of a human family, increasing their opportunity for adoption. Wendy's statistics on her site for spays/neuters and adoptions are incredible.

Stray Cat
Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you, homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth and food.
For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny.
While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house, the Law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed.
He ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke the heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh cat,
I'd willingly relive all that
Because you come, forlorn and thin
Well....don't just stand there
...come on in!
