Mr. Magoo

Mr. Magoo is a special guy with special needs who found his forever home a little over a year and half ago. We recently received the following wonderful update from his family.

Magoo, Summer 2011

Hello- just wanted to share some pictures with you of my Mr. Magoo who I adopted from you in April 2010. You probably recall that Mr. Magoo was found on the street by himself as a very young kitten. He has very limited vision and requires daily eye treatments. After fostering, he came in to my home one month after I lost my senior cat Toby to a brain tumor. Magoo wins the hearts of all who meet him...he is mischievous, funny and has rituals that bring a lot of laughter into this home. He is great friends w/ 10 year old Oliver who is making a miraculous recovery from lymphoma of the intestine. Lily tolerates Magoo....now that she is deaf she finds him less annoying. He is oblivious to her rebuffs and occupies his time by himself if Oliver is sleeping.

Magoo and Oliver, Summer 2011

Thank you for the wonderful work you do which resulted in such a beautiful match up with Magoo in my home.

Thank you Kathy for providing a home for Mr. Magoo!

Muffin and Moxie: out of the cold and into your lap

Did you know that many kittens who are “born feral” are easy to socialize and can become great pets? It’s important to plan ahead before trapping a stray cat though. The Alley Cat Allies website has step-by-step tips to help you take the right action at the right time.

Muffin and Moxie were rescued through Feline Rescue's Spay-Neuter-Outreach Program as part of a trap-neuter-release project when they were three and four months old. Scared at first, these well-socialized girls are now sweet lap cats who love their indoor lifestyle. They are active, outgoing, and adorable kittens. And Muffin and Moxie are now looking for a forever home!

Give to the Max Day!

Get ready, get set, GIVE!
Today is GIVE TO THE MAX DAY!
giveMN.org

It’s a fun, modern, easy way to support Feline Rescue. Last year, we raised over $11,000 in just 24 hours. Do you suppose we could triple that this year? All told last year, more than 42,000 donors logged on to GiveMN.org and gave over $10 million to Minnesota non-profits during Give to the Max Day. GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day amplifies your giving impact in a number of ways:

We Could Win a Golden Ticket! $1,000 will be given to a random donor’s charity every hour. You could be that donor! How do you do this? If you intend to donate $100 to Feline Rescue, donate $10 in each of 10 different hours. Or $20 in five different hours. Are you an early riser – or a night owl? Donate at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, or 6:00 AM. Why? Because there won’t be many donors at those hours – our random chances go up when you keep odd hours.

Put us on the Leader Board! $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000 prize grants will be awarded to the top three nonprofit organizations (colleges and universities excluded) which receive the most dollars in 24 hours during Give to the Max Day.

Important!! NEW THIS YEAR! $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000 prize grants will be awarded to the top three small nonprofit organizations – with budgets under $750,000 – which receive the most dollars on Give to the Max Day. Feline Rescue is in this category; we can win one of these bonuses!

Strange Bedfellows

The weather is getting much colder with snow on the way soon here in Minnesota.  And you know it's getting colder when cats that normally aren't in the same room together are found lounging together on the same bed.

Clockwise from top left: foster kitten Louis Purrstrong, resident kitty Snuggles, foster kitten Ike, foster kitten Irene, resident kitty Meep and foster kitty Angelina

If you are interested in meeting foster kittens Ike, Louis, and Irene, please contact Joan at 651-705-6264.

$25,000 for Feline Rescue?

If you have a couple extra minutes today, you can help Feline Rescue Inc. of St. Paul, MN win at least $25,000 and up to $250,000.  The top 100 small charities at Chase Community Giving's Facebook application will receive $25,000.  That's a lot of spay/neuter surgeries, medical care, and kitty supplies.

Go to the Feline Rescue charity page and VOTE or go to the Chase Community Giving Facebook application, search for Feline Rescue St. Paul,  VOTE and then spread the word.

Thank you!

Apricot and Kiwi Update

Apricot and Kiwi, fka Snookie, are settling right in to their home. We received a great update and some gorgeous photos of these fun sisters who recently found a home together. They no longer have to share one big window at the shelter with a bunch of other kitties so it looks like they are really enjoying having their own views of the world.

Hello Feline Rescue,

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things are going with Apricot and Kiwi, who I adopted on 10/27.

Things are going really well. They've settled in just fine... We are really enjoying having them in our lives. I'm so happy that Kiwi spoke up and called me over when we were there to look at other cats. Had she not done that, I wouldn't have had the chance to fall in love with them.

Thank you so much.
Mark
