June is known in the pet-people world as Adopt A Cat Month or Adopt A Shelter Cat Month. We’re all over that at HAWS! If you’re a cat fan or just an animal advocate, there are several ways you can help HAWS help cats this month – by getting involved, donating, helping spread the word about our fantastic feline friends. HAWS’ Kitten Shower is Saturday, June 15. From 11am to 3pm we’ll be celebrating all things kitten – while also getting out information on how you can become a foster home, bring up a well socialized kitten and more. Enjoy cake and a little kitten playtime, too! Don’t forget your shower gift – check out our Wish List for ideas. Several of HAWS adoptable cats will be participating in the WI-IL Cat Fanciers Show this coming weekend at the Waukesha Expo Center (just down the street from our shelter on Northview Road). Cheer them on to victory in the household pet division…then take one home as your very own. The Delafield Public Library has a wonderful display dedicated to information all about cats, adoption, proper cat care, and overpopulation issues we’re facing in Waukesha County. Stop by their branch on Genesee Street (Hwy. C) and read all about it! Vote for Milo until June 22nd: A local family has entered their cat in the Petfinder.com contest – if Milo wins then HAWS receives $4500! Here’s the link to vote every day – search for Milo Willms: http://www.petfinder.com/cats/funniestcatcontest-iamacatparent. By the way – HAWS’ Project Guardian and SNIP spay-neuter programs are fighting the good fight against cat overpopulation every day. Donate and save a life!
