Recently we received an email from a woman who was concerned about a stray pregnant cat that was hanging out in her friend's yard. No one had room to take her in, especially being pregnant, and they did not want the kittens to be born outside. So, one night two Angelcat Haven volunteers met the family halfway to pick up the pregnant mom... which to their surprise had given birth to 7 kittens the very night before!

Obviously, the woman's children were very upset to give Cassie up since they had been feeding her for quite a while. We explained that with 7 kittens, it was best that Angelcat Haven take them to make sure that they all stay healthy and find homes. The oldest child, Sam, about 10 yrs old, was given a project. We asked her and her siblings to try and raise some money to help take care of Cassie and her kittens.

Well, wouldn't you know that she, her brother and her Dad showed up yesterday! Sam had covered a coffee can with a hand done crayon drawing saying "Please donate to Stray and Feral cats". They brought the can with $35.55 inside it for Angelcat Haven!!

Sam's next project is to hand out some "Stuff for Strays" yard sale flyers for us. The whole family will be at the charity yard sale on July 14th, at 36 Bacon Square, Plainville MA to support Angelcat Haven, and when the kittens are old enough, they want to adopt one of the males.

So, along with a happy story, we gained a future shelter volunteer!!
