SPONSOR A CAT CONDO AT TEN LIVES CLUB GALLERIA!

Looking for a unique gift to give someone special this holiday season? Sponsor one of our 13 state of the art kitty condos at the new Ten Lives Galleria Mall! What a special holiday gift to give or to honor a family member, friend or beloved pet that has crossed the Rainbow Bridge!

Businesses can also sponsor cat condos for additional exposure inside the TLC Galleria location. Sponsor a display window as well as a cat condo and increase your exposure to visitors!

Ask your workplace if they would be interested in sponsoring a cat condo! Ask friends, family or co-workers to sponsor one (or more) together!

Sponsorship signs will be professionally made by Evenhouse Printing LLC. Signs measure 5" x 7". You choose what you would like your sponsorship sign to say as long as it will fit within the parameters of the signage. Condo Sponsor signs will be displayed for 2 months at a time.

They will be prominently displayed inside one of our 13 cat condos and visible to every visitor to our store. (See examples of cat condo sponsorship signs above and below).

Cat Condo Sponsorships also make great gifts for birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Anniversaries or other special occasions. You choose which months you would like to sponsor one or more of our kitty condos! 

Each condo sponsorship will be for 2 months.  $150 will include a condo sponsorship for 2 months of your choice - back to back, i.e. - March & April, or for 2 specific months (special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or holidays). 

Ten Lives Club will send a personalized card to the sponsorship honoree to let them know of your donation in their name or family's name.
 
Please help us help more kitties by becoming a sponsor for the Ten Lives Club Galleria adoption location! Think of the difference we can make for so many more homeless cats and kittens with your kind support.

NEW TEN LIVES CLUB ADOPTION LOCATION AT GALLERIA MALL!

The new Ten Lives Club Walden Galleria adoption location was previously occupied by the SPCA.  It is located just inside the main entrance next to Lord & Taylors on the ground level in the Walden Galleria Mall in Cheektowaga, New York.   

Ten Lives recently celebrated our Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Galleria on Saturday, October 24.  Hundreds of visitors, along with dozens of TLC volunteers came out for our event!

The very same day, we received a very generous donation from Joe Kozoil of CatLadder.com.  Joe brought us 3 beautiful handmade cat ladders for our kitties in the showcase windows Saturday morning and they LOVE them!

CatLadder.com makes unique cat furniture pieces made to order.  Each cat ladder is individually hand crafted!  You pick the color of the stain, carpeting for the steps and how many steps/height of the cat ladder you would like for your cat(s).  Be sure to check them out at catladder.com and order one for your kitty!  THANK YOU JOE & CATLADDER.COM!

 

 TLC volunteers baked DOZENS of kitty cupcakes that were handed out to all of the visitors who stopped in to visit the kitties on Saturday.   

THANK YOU to all of the dedicated TLC volunteers who took the time to bake & decorate these yummy cupcakes!

We held a Theme Basket raffle and the "Whisker Wheel" was on hand for visitors to take a spin to win prizes! 
 
Brenda Bushley, long time dedicated TLC Volunteer, had her handmade jewelry for sale with 100% of the proceeds to benefit Ten Lives Club - THANK YOU BRENDA! 

TLC at Galleria had ELEVEN adoptions in just ONE DAY during the Grand Opening Day!
  

Since TLC took over the SPCA store location on October 6, we've had 62 adoptions in just 28 DAYS at this location.  That is phenomenal!

TLC is expecting well over 200 cats & kittens to find their forever homes by January 1, 2016 from the new Galleria location alone!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kristen Peck, Ten Lives Club Galleria Store Manager, for doing such an AWESOME job!  YOU & YOUR VOLUNTEERS ROCK!  

Be sure to stop by and visit Ten Lives Club at the Galleria Mall to find your next furry family member.   

TLC at Galleria is also looking for volunteers.  With the upcoming Holidays, they are extending their hours through the week until 8pm.  This TLC location will also be open on Sundays from 11am to 6pm.

MAMA CAT & 5 KITTENS FOUND IN DUCT TAPED BOX RESCUED BY TLC!

Mama cat CHELLE & her litter of 5 babies!

 
On Monday, July 20, Ten Lives Club volunteer Ken Lyon was helping TLC prepare for their upcoming garage sale.  He discovered a cardboard box sitting outside the Ten Lives Club donation bin that was sealed with duct tape. When he heard meowing noises coming from inside the box, he immediately took it inside the shelter. 

Ken started removing the duct tape and a cat's head popped up through the opening! Inside was a mama cat and her litter of 5 newborn kittens who had been sealed up tight and abandoned in the hot July heat.  Ken and other Ten Lives Club volunteers and staff were appalled!  Who could do such a thing?  Why didn't they surrender them to the shelter which was only a few yards away?  Instead, they shoved this poor mama cat and her babies into a cardboard box, duct taped it shut so there was no way to escape and left it by boxes of donated items like a piece of trash!  In the middle of JULY!

Dr. Fisk examined them and determined that the kittens were between 7 and 10 days old.  The mama cat and all of her babies were okay.  Thankfully, it appeared that they had been inside the box for about 15 minutes or less.  Had it been much longer on a hot 80 degree July day, the outcome would not have been so good.

WIVB Channel 4 and WGRZ Channel 2 did a wonderful job covering this heartbreaking story.  Both broadcast stations sent reporters to interview Marie Edwards - TLC President & Founder, Ken Lyon and Dr. Fisk the very same day.  

Ten Lives is so grateful for the kind donations and compassionate response for these sweet kitties thanks to WIVB and WGRZ! People from not only Western New York, but all over the United States have shown their support!  THANK YOU!

The mama cat - now named "Chelle" - and her 5 babies are being fostered by a seasoned Ten Lives Club volunteer.  Chelle will be available for adoption in a few weeks once her babies are weaned and she has been spayed.  Her babies will be available for adoption around the end of September.
 

Call 716-646-5577 for more information 

about adopting Chelle or her babies!

It will cost approximately $1,000 for Ten Lives Club to treat & prepare these kitties for adoption.

HAPPY TAILS~ SWEETIE PIE & HONEY BUNCH

 SWEETIE PIE & HONEY BUNCH

Submitted By:

Marianne McPherson

TLC Volunteer Store Coordinator

PetSmart - Cheektowaga & Pet Supplies "Plus" Sheridan Dr.

TLC Adoption Training Coordinator

Sometimes it is very tough on TLC staff and volunteers to see two sweet cats like Sweetie Pie and Honey Bunch being surrendered by their owners.   These two beautiful seven-year-old, declawed siblings shared the first seven years of their lives with one family. Now, they were unwanted and homeless. 

HONEY BUNCH

Any Shelter can be a scary place for animals where there are no familiar faces.  Being put in a cage for the first time is even more frightening!

SWEETIE PIE

Finding a home for one older cat is difficult enough much less two,  but we made it our goal to try everything we could to keep them together. 

After being processed, they were sent to the TLC adoption location at Pet Supplies "Plus" - 3340 Sheridan Dr.  

There, they cuddled together in the back of the cage not knowing what was happening to them.

PHYLISS & SWEETIE PIE

It was their good fortune that Phyllis Zagarrigo happened by chance to stop there that day.  Phyllis lives next door to her sister Sharon in Hamburg, NY.  Together they have promised they will give Sweetie Pie and Honey Bunch a Loving Forever Home.

PHYLISS'S SISTER SHARON & SWEETIE PIE

Volunteer Jill said when Phyllis and Sharon held them for the first time, Sweetie Pie and Honey Bunch settled right into their arms!  As if they knew everything was now going to be okay... 

This is why we all do what we do!

Thanks for all that you do for the kitties Marianne!
