December 24, 2005 Update

 So far Feline Friends has had an amazing holiday season. Several of the adult kitties who've been with us for years...kitties who were considered to be permanent residents, are now starting new lives in real homes with real families. Shania, Fantasia, Gabby, Sylvia, Belly, and Tip Toe were all adopted. This is in addition to all of the normal kitten adoptions we usually do this time of year. Our special needs kitty, Rain-Beau, also had a holiday miracle which deserves a much more in depth story which I will try to share with you in the next couple of weeks.
After years of being our featured pet, Kit Kat, our one-eyed kitty, was adopted! Dr. Meredith would have loved that as she was one of his favorite patients. Her new mom, Kate, has a huge heart and we wish them many years of good health, and feather toys!

April 14th 2005 Update

We are saddened to inform you of the death of Dr. Don Meredith. He collapsed Tuesday evening at Lund Animal Hospital right before heading home for the night. Despite the efforts of Kristy Lund, other staff members, and paramedics, he could not be resusitated. He leaves behind a large hole in the heart of our shelter, both professionally and personally. There will be other veterinarians in our future but no other who will know our 100 + cats by name, help scoop their litter boxes or stop by at 9:30 at night to see how they're recuperating from one of his brilliant surgeries. We were blessed that he shared in our passion. D.M., (as he always said, Dr. Meredith was his father) we hope that you now find yourself fishing by day and surrounded by nothing but healthy kitties by night with self-scooping litterboxes. Feline Friends will never be able to thank you for all that you've done for us. We'll miss you very much!

We also need volunteers:

ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE STRANGE PEOPLE WHO FINDS CLEANING RELAXING? Well, everyone knows that cats are relaxing. Imagine what a combination of the two could do for you! We are much cheaper than therapy too! In other words, we are in huge need of volunteers to help out in the mornings between 9:00 and 12:00 or so. The cats throw nightly parties after we turn out the lights and we need help erasing all evidence of this in the morning... so that guests can come in and like what they see and smell....so that they can adopt....and so the cats have a clean fresh start for their next night's big bash! Please help the vicious cycle continue! Go to the "contact us" section of our site to volunteer. Thanks!
