We reached our goal this afternoon for the Cali Fund which has paid for the surgery this great cat needed. 100% donated funds!!

A HUGE thank you to all the donors for your generous gifts from the heart that funded Cali's surgery. You have contributed 100% of the money that were needed to bring her back to health - she is now officially adoptable and the lucky family that makes her part of their family will have a great companion. Each life saved makes a difference!

There's still $200 more to go with the Cali Fund but we are glad to announce that Sweet Cali had her surgery on Tuesday, and is recovering well and ready to find her forever home!  

Cali is a 5-6 year old female cat that staggered her way to a home in Hillsboro for help when she was lost, starving and sick.  After searching for the owner with no luck, the Good Samaritan that found her took Cali to her vet as she was near exhaustion from exposure and lack of food.  It was discovered that she has a treatable dental/medical condition that makes it extremely painful to chew and eat.  Cat's Cradle Rescue was approached to help this friendly, outgoing cat when other rescues and shelters were unable or unwilling to help.

WHO is Cali:

Cali is a Dilute Tortoiseshell adult cat.   During her initial examination for dehydration, malnutrition and exhaustion it was discovered that she needs expensive dental care to survive pain-free long-term.  Cali has proven to be friendly with dogs and children.  She has not been tried with other cats but her "get along" gentle nature makes us think there will be no problem.  She has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  She is spayed and will be microchipped and vaccinated as appropriate.

WHAT are we hoping to do:

Cat's Cradle Rescue needs to raise $580 for her discounted dental procedure.  Cali has Feline Chronic lymphocytic plasmacytic stomatitis/gingivitis (FGS)

HOW you can help:

Cat's Cradle Rescue is a 501(c)(3) no-kill non-profit foster-home based rescue group located primarily in Washington County, OR.  As a rescue we rely on cash donations and in-kind food and products given to CCR by people like yourself.  Every donation no matter how small will add up to the $580 that we are hoping to raise for Cali's procedure.   Donating via PayPal (see the button below) is safe and secure.  Please indicate The Cali Fund as a donation description.

Do you happen to have the luckiest pet and just can't help showing off?

We are celebrating LUCKY 2013 by sharing the stories of the luckiest adopted pets – then helping more adoptable pets find homes. Pet parents will upload a photo or video of your pet and describe why he/she is the luckiest, giving color to their life before and after adoption.

The Luckiest Pet Contest is brought to you by Animal Planet. One lucky pet can win you a $500 gift card to Petco, as well as help our organization win a $5,000 donation!

Cat's Cradle Rescue is seeking qualified foster volunteers for cats and kittens. As a foster home based rescue group, we do not have a physical shelter. All of the cats and kittens in our care live in foster homes until adopted by their forever families. The more qualified foster families, the more cats and kittens we can save. Foster parents help CCR save more lives and make our community a better and friendlier place for our feline friends!

When you join our foster program, you are expected to provide a safe and clean environment to the cats/kittens and care for them as if they were your own. By living with you and interacting with you and your family members, foster cats/kittens often acquire better socialization skills, which make them more well-adjusted for their forever homes. You will also be able to assess the cat's personality, likes, and dislikes so that he/she can be better matched to the right forever home.

Fostering can sometimes be difficult and time-consuming. But the reward is tremendous! "These kitties may spend a short time in your home; however, they will stay in your heart for a lifetime. Fostering is one of the most rewarding volunteer experiences offered".

We look forward to meeting you and working with you!
