Thanks for Giving!

The holiday season is already upon us, and although our shelter is much more crowded than we would like this year, we are blessed because our staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly, and our adopters, friends and many supporters have given their generosity and their time to help Ladew rescue kitties until they get their forever homes.  

This Thanksgiving when we're giving thanks for all we have, we think about those less fortunate who can use our help.

We offer many programs for kitties that exist because of your generosity.  To keep them going, funds are always needed, now more than ever.

We would be forever grateful for any donation to any one of the many programs that we offer.

Make a Free Catnip Toy and Go On a Scavenger Hunt on Friday, 11/29 from 12pm-4pm!

Stop by the sanctuary located at 34 Hamilton Avenue, Oyster Bay on Friday, November 29 between 12-4, meet the kitties, take a tour, learn how to make a catnip toy for your cats (or ours!), sponsor a cat and/or send your kids (all children must be accompanied by an adult) on a fun scavenger hunt!

Sponsor a cat and receive this adorable personalized ornament as a keepsake!

The catnip toys are super easy, FREE and kids (and adults) love doing it and cats love playing with them!  Find all 12 items on the scavenger hunt and receive a gift bag!

Hope to see you there!

Save The Date for Whiskers In Wonderland™

We hope you will join us on Saturday, December 28 at 34 Hamilton Avenue in Oyster Bay from 12 p.m.-5 p.m. for our annual Whiskers in Wonderland™ open house event.

There will be cats of all shapes, sizes, colors and ages for adoption.  If you aren't looking to adopt, you can sponsor a cat and receive a personalized ornament with your sponsee's name (or your own cat's name) on it.  

Tours of the shelter will be given to anyone who would like to see our facility.  We will be serving cider and cookies.

Hope to see you there!

You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello!

Adopted in October

This month we said so long to Pickles, Sweet Potato, Tuna Fish, Cupcake & Chanel, Pudgie, Spice and Elvira who were all adopted into loving homes.

While we miss every one of our beloved Ladewbies, adoptions make It possible for us to help more kitties.

So while we said goodbye to some, we also said hello to others.

Meet the Newbies!
