new cattery
Jan 6th
We are pleased to announce that the Ti Room cattery has now been built, and is being occupied, thanks to a very generous donation by Udel Smith, which covered the cost of all the materials required. Thanks also to Larry Gallagher, Dale Crabtree, Marcia Krijgsman, Willem Wiessner and all the other volunteers who worked so hard on the construction.
26 cats were moved from their old premises in early December and they seem very happy. This new cattery allows more sunlight than their previous accommodation, and there are plans to attach an outside garden area for them at a later date.

So what have we been doing in the meantime?
The 5th Annual Howling Holidays was held in Paradise Park on Sunday December 15th. This was a fun day out for dogs and their owners, and we would like to thank everyone who braved the torrential rain and made it such a successful event.
We have also held more spay/neuter clinics. Again, thank you to everyone for being responsible owners More >

Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary Receives Grant From PETCO Foundation
Jul 8th
We are most grateful for the grant support of $5,000 from PETCO Foundation, a 501©(3) non-profit corporation that directly supports life affirming programs of animal welfare groups, such as Rainbow Friends Animal Sanctuary, to raise the quality of life for pets and pet owners. The grant monies will be used exclusively to help us fulfill one of our missions of trapping, spaying/neutering and releasing (TNR) of feral cats and also promoting the sterilization of pet cats as a humane and effective way of managing the cat population. These efforts are important to prevent over-breeding, to successfully stabilize and eventually reduce More >
