From Cayman Islands Humane Society

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the CIHS, the venue at

Grand Harbour is not available for us to hold the Petapalooza event.

We will inform you of the new date and venue as soon as that has been secured.

Urgent foster appeal for Cumber.  He has been in care for several weeks, including a long period at

Island Vets after on operation for a broken leg.  A foster home is required today (Friday) as he needs rest and a quiet environment, and cannot stay at the shelter.  Limited exercise whilst in recovery, please contact the shelter on 949 1461 if you can help, or know anyone that can.

Saturday 1st June 6am – 9am DMS GARAGE SALE – see separate iNews Cayman story

Thank you as well to DMS Broadcasting who have dedicated their Garage Sale fundraiser on Saturday 1st June 2013 to the benefit of the spay and neuter program.  If you want to book a space there, contact Erin Bodden at [email protected] Each space costs $25, last year over $2,500 was raised.  So either come to sell on your pitch, or come on down to grab a bargain.

The Shelter Stores will have a pitch there, any donations for us to sell, please contact Janette on 925 0408 or [email protected]

Thank you for everyone’s support

And at the same time, DMS staff will be selling cute stuffed toys for $5. Each toy will be numbered which relates to corresponding random prize!  Every toy is a winner and all funds raised by the lotto will go to the Humane Society

Reminder of our Cats……..

Then don’t forget our very full cat room and pay a visit.  If you are looking for a kitten or an older cat of any description, you can guarantee we’ll have it. To the point of closing the doors, there had been an upsurge in kittens who will all need homes. Space in the cat room remains critical for new admissions.

Dog Training Sunday 11am again at the Public Beach …

Please let Susan know if you need your dog picked up in the van, and volunteer van drivers, please let her know if you can drive the van this Sunday.  Contact Susan Cell: 938-9903 or e-mail: [email protected]

THANK YOU KAIJA

And also

Alena, Sofia and Nora Ruth at the shelter with their birthday donations.

They brought in a variety of toys, food for both cats and dogs, bedding etc donated for a 6th birthday instead of receiving gifts.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VERY THOUGHTFUL ACTION

The feel good story for this week…………..

This is why we all do what we do.  Early this week, one of CIHS good friends saw a puppy in distress to the point of being unlikely to survive the living conditions, which is the photograph on the left.  Recovered by Sarah and Janette, given immediate aid by Doctor John at the shelter, within 48 hours of intensive foster care at Janette’s house, Vali was looking and behaving like a different dog to the point of being unrecognisable.  These two photographs are 48 hours apart!  But the happy conclusion, Vali goes to a forever home tomorrow after a sleepover last night.  Even with the shelter full, the work never stops.

THANK YOU, YOU ARE STARS.
