It All Starts With You Campaign Currently, AzCATs is working on a new approach to TNR, which will allow us to extend our reach and expand our program. The “It All Starts With You” campaign is an idea originally conceptualized by one of our long term volunteers, Pam Kalish. The basic concept for the program involves current volunteers, caregivers, and supporters of our program reaching out to their own sphere of influence. If we were to reach out to our own circle of friends, neighbors, vets, etc. to promote the AzCATs TNR program and educate those close to them about the benefits of TNR and Spay/Neuter, then AzCATs can reach more people, more effectively, in a shorter period of time. Not only will this approach allow us to get more involved with City agencies, community organizations, etc., it will essentially result in expanding our ability to end the breeding cycle for free-roaming cats. We have also been awarded a grant from Neighborhood Cats in New York, and PetSmart Charities, to participate in a colony registration database program. This online database will allow caregivers to register their colonies so AzCATs can track where we are currently providing TNR and where the greatest needs are for our services. The database will be accessible through our web site once it is ready for use. Check back periodically for the link to access this valuable tool. If you want an active role in this TNR movement, call our office at 480-968-4TNR and ask to speak with our Volunteer Coordinator. You can also complete a volunteer application online. As always, your support is appreciated and necessary for our continued success.
Mark your Calendars... AzCATs' First Annual Motorcycle Run February 23, 2007 AzCATs is planning our first annual benefit motorcycle rally to raise funds for our TNR program. The event will be held February 23, 2008 and will include a motorcycle run through the Valley of the Sun with various stops at local rescue shelters, restaurants, and other fun locations. The run will include a challenge packed full of animal and spay/neuter related trivia, prizes, food, and fun! This event is being planned in honor of Spay Day USA which is also in February. We hope to make this first year a huge success to build on for future years. If you would like to help plan this event contact David DeWitt, Volunteer Coordinator at 480-968-4867 or ddewitt@azcats.org. We will need volunteers to help solicit sponsors, donations, participants, etc. Please join us as we go “Cruisin’ for Cats"
