This Saturday, June 18, is the NOCO LOCO Cat Show in Estes Park. Duncan’s Place gets $1 from each admission, plus other goodies. So come on up and help man our booth, or just check out the fine felines!

Next, we are having our summer vaccine clinic at the Loveland JAX on July 10th from 2-4 pm. I am hoping it is going to be crazy… we are doing $10 vaccines, and $25 microchips. We’ll need help with all aspects of that one, and tell your friends to stop by with their pets!

Thank you for helping the kitties! >^.^<

KONG is donating more toys for the kitties. Thanks, Robert!

Breeder’s Choice is giving us more samples of Pinnacle and other goodies. Susan Mallonee is so good to us.

We received a donation in the name of Karen Longberger, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge this year to join her animal friends. She will be sorely missed by all that she touched in her life. She was a good friend of our friend Duncan (”Duncan’s Place, East”) who lives in New Jersey; he sends the proceeds from his mouse & bird kill earnings to Duncan’s Place “West.” He is also a big Phillies fan…

UPCOMING EVENTS

We won a Petfinder grant for 25 doses of canine influenza vaccine, so we are going to do the series of 2 for 25 lucky dogs. It is part of Schering Plough’s Creating Community Immunity campaign. The vaccines will be free, but we’ll ask that owners buy a big bag of Pinnacle, Merrick, or EVO at DOGS, where we’ll be holding the event.

Our friends at the Dog Club of Fort Collins are holding a cat clicker training class on March 5. Now’s your chance to teach an old cat new tricks!

Our next vaccine clinic is coming up in April, date TBA.

The next Linnea Memorial Pet Walk and Adopt-a-thon will be June 4.

The NOCO LOCO Cat Show is in Estes Park on June 18. We get a $1 from each ticket sold, so go have fun and see some kitties in the mountains while helping DPs!

Many thanks to the Animal Assistance Foundation, whose grant is helping us keep this program available for pet owners in these tough times!

On the Border restaurant in Loveland, located in the Promenade Shops at Centerra at I-25 & Hwy 34, will be hosting a give back night for Duncan’s Place:

November 30
3-10 pm

They’ll be donating 10% of all dinner checks to the kitties! Wow! I’ll go have dinner and a marg, for sure.

We will be at Loveland JAX’s Pet Halloween parade 10/30, might dress Peanut the kitten up as a peanut.

We had another successful vaccine clinic last Sunday, which will help pay our food bill. Thanks to all those who helped out! We have next year’s vaccine clinics already scheduled with Loveland JAX.

We are working more and more with NOCO Friends of Ferals, we took in 11 kitties from them, 2 of which we will be rehoming as barn kitties–they don’t like us humans too much, don’t blame them!!

Paws crossed on our grant requests to Larimer County Veterinary Association and Animal Assistance Foundation!

We will be doing a Party Light Fundraiser that will go on to to the middle of December, we get half the proceeds and people can get some great holiday gifts! (Too bad we can’t have candles here–too many burnt whiskers!) Also, we will do a regular Party Light party December 11, at 7 pm, will be sending invites… margaritas and cosmos will be served, plus some yummy appetizers.

We’re also working on a December skating party out at Centerra for all.

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!!!

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!

Dr. Matt Jones of Loveland Veterinary Clinic will be donating his time to the event, and we can always use help from volunteers! Last month’s clinic was a doozy!

The family of Lizzie Freeman has made it possible for Duncan’s Place to offer this service in her memory. We thank them so much for their generous work.

We will be offering a limited number of vaccines, so it is a first come, first served basis. Please have your pets properly restrained, dogs on leashes and cats in carriers. Also, if your pet had a previous allergic reaction or you are afraid of allergic reaction please contact your veterinarian before getting you pet vaccinated.

Reel Mountain Theatre, Estes Park
(Theater is located in the Stanley Village Shopping Center, just below Safeway. 543 Big Thompson Ave.)

Tickets are only $12 (click here to purchase), and 100% of ticket sales go to benefit animals via the Holy Cow Project.

The Holy Cow Project was started by DPs own webmistress as a way of paying it forward after getting into vet school at CSU. She is raising $1,000 for each one of 7 different animal charities, including DPs! If she can raise more than $7,000, DPs will get any excess!

It’s a fun and easy way to help those kitties, so save the date!
