Angelcat Haven Feline Rescue is asking the public for dry cat food donations for seniors of Bristol Elder Services. Bristol Elder Services runs the Pets Eat Too! Program, started by Howie Galitsky, a Bristol Elder Services employee, in 2006. It runs on donations from various animal organizations and individuals, and they are in need of more pet food. There are individuals participating in the Meals on Wheels program who lack the funds to buy food for their pets and end up sharing their own meals with them. Each day, Bristol Elder Services delivers over 550 hot meals to senior citizens in Fall River, and another 1,226 to outlying towns, including the greater Taunton, New Bedford and Attleboro areas. Angelcat Haven has been coordinating cat food donations for these pets and people in need, and their supply has run out. "These are caring people who loves their pets; for many people, these pets are the only companionship they have," says Angela Frankudakis, president of Angelcat Haven. "And they give up what little food they have to feed them." All donations will go directly to seniors of Bristol Elder Services in need of cat food. You can drop off dry cat food at Desco Electronics, 36 Bacon Square, Plainville; Attleboro Old Barn, 65 S Main, Attleboro; and Seven Arrows Farm, 346 Oakhill Ave, Attleboro. For more information or to donate, call 508-675-2105 or contact Angelcat Haven Feline Rescue at (508) 203-4240 or email to info@angelcathaven.com.

Stuff for Strays! Charity Yard Sale Generates Much-needed Funds for Cat Rescue

PLAINVILLE – Saturday's Stuff for Strays Yard Sale was a success! The weather was bright and beautiful, the business booming, and the bargains incredible! Thanks to the legions of volunteers, tons of generous donors, and droves of shoppers, Angelcat Haven Feline Cat Rescue (ACH) raised over $1,700 for stray and abandoned cats in the area
Angela Frankudakis, president of Angelcat Haven, was pleased with the outcome. "It was a great day for the kitties. Not only did we raise money to help fund vet bills, we received volunteer and adoption applications. We are so grateful to everyone who turned out for the event."

ACH's mission is to help those cats who fall threw the cracks at the existing overcrowded shelters. "We truly believe that havens have no boundaries and we work in many towns to aid in reducing the stray and feral population," Angela says.
It was a day of shopping, eating, and entertainment at the First Annual Stuff for Strays Yard Sale. Fantastic buys on furniture, kitchenware, home accessories, baby clothes, toys and more were plentiful. DJ Bryan kept the shoppers entertained with non-stop music --- he was even taking requests! There were also kids' games, cat toys, baked goods, pizza and drinks for sale on this sunny summer day.

Proceeds from the sale go directly to cover medical expenses for special needs cats and kittens.
If you didn't make it out to Saturday's event, there is always next year's sale, scheduled for spring 2008. And if it's anything like this year, it is sure to be a fun-filled day of bargains, entertainment, and food --- all for a good cause!
