TEN LIVES RESCUES 3 CATS STUFFED IN CRATE & LEFT IN HEAT



On Sunday, July 12 - a day when the TLC shelter is closed to the public - 3 fully grown cats were discovered crammed into one carrier.  They had been left in the heat without food or water. The temperature that day was 90 degrees!   
Chase

Whoever was responsible for this cruel act left them sitting next to the TLC dumpster like trash.  Not to mention, in extreme heat with NO WATER which would've been a DEATH SENTENCE if they hadn't been found in time.

Luke (behind) & Jo Jo
Marie noticed the carrier sitting out in the heat and found the 3 cats inside.  They were quickly brought into the shelter & out of the awful heat.  These poor cats had all begun to pant from the extreme heat and one poor baby was so terrified she had peed herself.  

They are being processed by our vet staff now. This means being tested, vaccinated, treated for fleas, worms, ear mites and a full physical which will determine their ages. We named them after "The Bachelorette" stars. 

Read local news coverage HERE & HERE.

Ten Lives never received a phone call asking us to help with these cats.  We do ask for a surrender donation but we will work with people when they can't donate.  There are MANY ways to help that are just as needed and appreciated such as volunteer work, selling raffle tickets for us, caring for our kitties at our adoption locations, donating items needed on a day to day basis, cleaning at the shelter - SO MANY ways! 

DUMPING cats at our shelter is a cruel, cowardly and CRIMINAL thing to do.  

If ANYONE has any information about who may have committed this incredibly cruel act, please call our shelter hotline at 716-646-5577.

Thank you to all who support and believe in Ten Lives Club!

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.

TEN LIVES CLUB BRICK CAMPAIGN "KICKS-OFF"!






TEN LIVES CLUB BRICK CAMPAIGN "KICKS-OFF"!

The future holds many hopes & visions for Ten Lives Club.  In order to continue our efforts to save and re-home as many kitties as possible while also assisting many other rescue organizations across Western New York, we need to build a warehouse on our shelter property.  The warehouse would store supplies, equipment and pallets of litter and food we receive from all over the country.  It would also serve as a pet food pantry for other rescue groups & compassionate individuals who care for feral colonies and strays.
Planned Warehouse - awaiting actual blueprints & sketch.

Ten Lives Club also plans to move our ringworm facility from South Buffalo to a new state of the art isolation/contagious facility within the warehouse.  Currently, we pay a steep rent to house and treat kitties with ringworm and other highly contagious diseases.  With the addition of the warehouse on property we already own, we would no longer have that additional monthly expense!

The Ten Lives Club shelter in Blasdell sits on 2.8 acres of land. The planned warehouse would be 48' x 81' x 16' built on the back lot of our property. Inside will hold our inventory, the planned isolation center, an inside area concession stand with outside awning for future fundraisers & even three dog runs so TLC can start working with dog rescue groups to show their dogs for adoption.
  
Back lot on our property where warehouse will be built.
If we raise enough funds we would also like to put a feral enclosure off of this building!  

Recently, TLC had a delivery of 41 pallets of cat and dog food.  In order to store this much needed donation as well as many other donations of food, litter and other supplies, we currently pay $1,000 per month to rent a space in the industrial facility next door.  Having a large storage space is a necessity!  Not only to store our own food and supplies but to share with other rescue groups.  Some of the rescue groups we provided food from this donation were: Joyful Rescues, Operation Pets, Feral Cat Focus, City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, Save a Pet, Tabbytown, Best for Pets, Bob’s Rescue, Niagara County SPCA, Almost Home AnimalSanctuary, Empire Rescue, SOS Cat Rescue & Supporting Rescue Alliance - to name a few!

Ten Lives Club also provides food to feral cat colony caretakers and others who have spayed or neutered cats on their barn properties.  With this recent donation, we were able to supply those who feed community cats in Tonawanda Island, Angola, Olcott, South & North Buffalo, Collins, East Concord, Salamanca, West Seneca, the Buffalo Marina, Boston, Colden, Hamburg, Blasdell, Cheektowaga, Lackawanna, Buffalo East Side, Tonawanda, Niagara Falls, Springville& Arcade.

The cats who come into our care depend on Ten Lives Club! Many rescue organizations & compassionate individuals who care for feral colonies and stray cats depend on us as well.  With the addition of our own warehouse facility, Ten Lives Club would save over $2,000 per month in rental costs for storage space and ringworm containment. 

Please consider donating a TLC Warehouse Campaign Brick in memory of a beloved pet, family member or friend that will forever be displayed in our new warehouse facility.  Businesses and other community organizations can also proudly display their sponsorship. Groups or families can donate a brick together with each participant proudly engraved! 
  

Each brick is 4" x 8" and includes an engraved message along with an optional picture of a cat, dog, heart or angel ($5 additional).  The cost to donate a TLC Warehouse CampaignBrick is $500. They will be prominently displayed on the East side of the 48' x 81' x 16' warehouse facility.
