Big Cat Updates

Heads Up – Andy Tiger Vet

Monday around noon or 1:00 PM Andy Tiger will be neutered, get a dental exam and diagnostics. An eye specialist will be looking at his eyes too, as she often does when a cat is sedated for any reason.   Keep an eye on Facebook.com/bigcatrescue for us to go Live.  Then watch the procedure live at BigCatRescue.org/vet

 Projects

Jamie & Victor have been working late evenings on the Tiger Lake project trying to get it ready for Seth and Andy.  The tile arrived for the gift shop.

Connecting another cage onto Zimba’s enclosure so he has more space and so he can come see the tours, if he chooses to.

Top soil has been added to Sabre’s enclosure so he can have some new grass.

Kitten Cabana was scrubbed top to bottom.

 Animal Fundraiser

Good Morning All 🙂

I am pleased to announce that I will be holding a fundraiser event in conjunction with Night Shift Brewing in Everett, MA, 02149. This wonderful evening will take place on May 23 starting at 6PM.

The proceeds will be split 4 ways among Best Friends, Big Cat Rescue, Melrose Humane Society, and Blind Cat Rescue. Plus there will be donation cans for each individual Sanctuary to allow patrons to contribute to any one or another. There will be many raffles and several free door prizes. In addition to fundraising, part of my goal here is to raise awareness and alert people to cruelty, puppy mills, fighting, hoarding, etc.

Several generous members of The Everett Men’s Club have already submitted cash contributions. Thank you, Gentlemen. Liz from The Brewery has been quite helpful in working with me and organizing social media. Thanks, Liz.

This will be a free event and people are encouraged to bring their dogs, or in some cases, the dogs are encouraged to bring their humans. There will be future updates concerning food and beverage plus doggie treats.

Thank you all so much.

Respectfully,

Paul Giannetta
