Head on over and comment on Pumpkin’s blog post by Friday, November 18, and DP’s will get 25 cents for each comment. How fun is that?

Thanks, Pumpkin Puddy!

In addition, we have been working with Divine Feline, via Karen Hood, and our pals over at Northern Colorado Friends of Ferals in saving and socializing kittens so they do not have to face life as a feral.

Everything we accomplish is thanks to all of your love and support, and the hard work of our foster families!

We need to thank a few of our great friends/supporters:
Skip Freeman
Leslie Vogt
Jan Link
Myenberg Milk Products
Worthington Animal Hospital
Highland Hills Pet Hospital, Dr. Dana Edwards
James Christofferson
Poudre Feed South, Zach

Many thanks to Valerie Miller, who sent us a very generous donation in memory of her late kitty, Holly. Holly crossed the Rainbow Bridge this summer. We know she will be loved and missed. Thank you Valerie and Holly!

We’d also like to thank Skip Freeman for his continuous support and friendship to Duncan’s Place and the kitties!!

Adopt a kitty today–who else is going to eat your homework for you?

Thank you also to Don Carrol–he designed and built our cat enclosure and our shed for storing our food pantry, Dudley’s Delectables. The supplies were generously donated by Home Depot.

We got a nice check from the CSU cat care conference, which will help pay our kitties’ medical bills!

Jan and Bob Link gave us a great donation in memory of their Lucy, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last month.

Cats Rule sent us a box of their great litter mats for the kitties. These mats really do work and keeps litter scatter down to a minimum, highly recommended!

We have a limited edition t-shirt coming out. These have been designed and donated by our new foster family, the Corteses.

We will be at the Pets and Vets expo at the Loveland Outlets September 18.

We are planning some fun group events:

Popovich Comedy Pet Theater tickets are $14, $12 or $8. If Duncan’s Place has a group of at least 10, we can get the $14 seats for $10 each. Group tickets go on sale beginning August 23 and require full payment at the time of purchase. Seating is assigned, so we would all sit together.

We hope you are surviving the rains, or the sun, or whichever is currently bombarding you.

We’re having a crazy summer here at DPs, but first, some thank yous:

Linda Freeman, Lizzie’s mom, helped us pay off a huge chunk of our medical expenses. THANK YOU!

Also, Chris Begress made a very generous donation to us earlier this summer. THANK YOU!

Tiki Pet Products sent us a lot of probiotics, skin and coat conditioner, and other great supplements. Thanks, Tiki!

Kitties

We just had a young calico kitten rescued from a Fort Collins by a good Samaritan. Sadly, a very ill homeless man had tried to drown her! We have medical care arranged for her, and are making room where no one else was able. She is about 6 months old, very sweet, and very grateful for her rescue!

Vaccine Clinic

Our next clinic will be this weekend, July 11 at the Loveland JAX from 2-4 pm.

Thank you to the Freeman family for their continued support!!!

We have another vaccine clinic coming up July 11 from 2-4 at JAX in Loveland, please let me know if you can help!!!

We will also be at the Bluegrass and Paws event in Old Town Fort Collins, 7/31 from noon to 8:30, a fun event and if you can help please do.

The last of the summer events is Pets and Vets, 8/21 at the Loveland dog park, again we need help!

We are also getting more Merrick canned cat food, thank you Noelle!! So far we have promised a pallet to Divine Feline in Denver, a group of shelters over in Delta, CO, Friends of Ferals, Senior Citizens here in Loveland, and Fort Collins Cat Rescue. So we can do a whole lot of good with this donation and keep our kitties in the life style they are accustomed too.

We are now close to our 100th adoption, we have rescued 116 animals and adopted 90 out successfully!

Drinkwell donated Platinum fountains to us, so that almost home has a Drinkwell for their fosters.

Pet Tropics is donating multivitamins and probiotics.

Thank you to Susan Mallonee of Breeders Choice for donating samples of Avoderm and larger bags of kibble for our kitties!!!

We are waiting for our cat enclosure supplies form Home Depot, so paws crossed that will happen soon.

So, a busy summer so far, and only more good things to come our way!!

Thank you for all you all do to help Duncan’s Place!!!!

Thank you also to Brandi for taking over medical operations, vaccine clinics, etc… Brandi has helped us all along with vaccine clinics and is also a vet tech, good friend, and good people.

There will be a new shelter challenge starting soon on the Animal Rescue Site, so please vote for us every day, who knows maybe we will win some money that way!

The Linnea Dick Memorial Pet Walk and Adopt-a-thon is coming up on June 5th and we need help with this great event. They will need help in running the walk so please think about that as well and tell people to come, it is a worthy cause and a lot of fun for the whole family!

The NOCO LOCO Cat Show is June 19. It is an all day event and we could use any and all help to make this another great event.

Thank you all for helping Duncan’s Place be such a great little rescue and resource center, so we can help keep pet with their families!

We were invited to participate at Colorado State University’s annual Cat Care Conference. Thank you Dr. Lappin and CSU Student Chapter of the American Association of Feline Practitioners!!!

Thank you to Rose and Don Carrol for donating a sleeve of FVRCP vaccines. Rose is also a wonderful hair stylist and I highly recommend that everyone should go to her. She has done a wonderful job with me and hiding the gray hairs.

Judy Prins not only started our year off right by donating $500, but she also came out to help unload the second shipment of Merrick canned food, what a trooper and friend to both the kitties and I!!

Kenny and Brittany Knowles for helping in remodeling the house, since it looks like we will be home based for a bit longer, so might as well make it nice for both the human and the kitties, thank you.

Cat Kuhlman, the White family, Shange, for all your help in the laminate flooring project, man alive it was a lot of hard work, thank you and I owe you all BIG Time!!!

KONG Pet products donated a whooping amount of cardboard cat scratchers and toys for our kitties. They make wonderful dog toys as well!!! The cats were trying to steal toys as soon as I opened the box.

Lumber Liquidators donated laminate flooring to Duncan’s, since the kitties need a better, cleaner household to live in, until forever homes are found, so thank you. The human loves not having to steam clean carpets any more, and Princess Buttercup and my Ainsley’s various allergies and asthma have decreased greatly!!

Idexx laboratories donated a box of FIV/FeLV/HW tests to us and also enrolled us on their shelter discount program, the box of tests usually costs us $500, so this was a major help in our medical care of our cats and kittens, since we test everyone!!!

If you did not hear, Merrick gave us another whooping 9 pallets of canned food!!! We distributed it to groups like Friends of Ferals, Pure Heat Rescue, Denkai, seniors in need, families that needed help and of course our kitties!! There are a lot of happy felines running around in NOCO and the Western Slope because of Merrick, THANK YOU!! We sent 2 pallets to a small group on the Western Slope and they are distributing to other small groups that don’t have too much help. So please think about feeding your pets this wonderful, high quality food, they make dog food as well.

So please call or e-mail so we can have the much needed help in participating in these fun community events. We are also thinking about doing a barbecue some time in the summer to thank you all and of course raise money.

Right now it looks like Toons is the last original Duncan’s Place kitty that has not found her home yet, so let’s put out positive thoughts for her to be adopted, she is a cat’s cat and is pretty darn funny!!

So, I think that is all for now, but you never know with me and the wonderful luck and support we have gotten from so many!!

We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful volunteers and donors! Here are just a few of the many we need to thank…
