I have some information for Hobo Hotel for Cats volunteers and supporters. As you know, Roni Kemerly was our Board of Directors president for 2009. What a wonderful, trusted servant. Meow. She will remain on the Board to work with our new president, Shanna Garofolo, in 2010.
Shanna has been a volunteer with Hobo Hotel for two and a half years. She and her son, Andrew, began with the TLC program in 2007. They moved to the adoptions program at Petsmart on Fridays and started cleaning at the Care Center every other Sunday. She now coordinates all of our on-line adoption activities. Shanna accepted being a Board member nine months ago and is now the President! I am delighted to have such a loving, caring, and dedicated to all kittens person be our president. Purr.
As a result of the efforts of so many, the Hobo Hotel for Cats won 1st place in the Shelter Challenge for the entire state and 54th in the entire nation..
It was nip and tuck until the end, but we prevailed!
Given that nearly 200 shelters in Louisiana and over 8000 across the country competed for this prize makes us immensely proud of this accomplishment and so very appreciative for the efforts of the many who took the time to vote and to encourage others to join in the cause.
The $1,000 prize money will be put to good use. Thanks again!
My name is Lydia.
I'm a 9 yr old Manx, I'm declawed (but my Mom didn't do it).
I'm mostly white with black markings and mask and I have green eyes.
I live at 1506 21st St in Lake Charles but someone has taken me away from my home.
My block is between Aster and 2nd Avenue.
I know my mom is looking for me because she really loves me and has loved me for 6 years.
If you can help get me home, call Millie Mason @391-9149 or Mike Pabst @244-1629.

Dear Rita,
The cool weather sure is nice for our outside cats. I would like to know why animal lovers can't really get folks involved in spaying and neutering their animals. All animal groups talk about this. At Animal Control y'all have a low cost spay/neutering program for folks on government subsidy. There are USA Spay certificates, low-cost programs such as what we offer and we've even run ads in the paper. Somehow we need another way to make folks understand What ideas do you have that might help?
As always,
John Ervin
Dear John,
Spaying and neutering is the number one thing you can do for your pet. If your pet is fixed. thank you.
One additional thing you can do in the name of helping cats is to sponsor another...meaning make a donation to have another's cat fixed. Just fixing one cat will stop hundreds from being born.
