TLC MOURNS LOSS OF BELOVED FRIEND & VOLUNTEER

On Sunday afternoon, September 4th, our dear friend and dedicated TLC Volunteer, Marianne Annibali was hit by a car while jogging.  The accident happened on Walden Ave in Depew and she died instantly.  Her death has left a big hole in all of our hearts and she will be greatly missed.

Several years ago, Marianne and her husband Rich, adopted a TLC Cat named Tucker.  When Marianne saw an opportunity to volunteer at our Pet Supply Plus location on Union Road, she joined our TLC family.  She always brought along her 14 year daughter Marirose.


Marianne then started fostering and was seldom without a Mom and kittens at their home.  As if that was not enough, She also cleaned Friday nights at Petsmart after learning we were very short handed.

Marianne and Rich also volunteered for a Greyhound rescue group. She certainly shared the love and compassion for animals with her family. She ran five miles every day, rain or shine.  On her run, she always stopped by Marianne McPherson’s house to chat about her fosters. Dorine, who also lives in the neighborhood, would frequently see her running down Walden Ave.

Marianne said she needed to run every day so she would stay healthy. She wanted to be around a long time to watch her daughter grow up, get married and maybe someday enjoy a house full of grand kids. 

Marianne worked at Sisters Hospital where she also had many friends. She was married to her husband Rich for 34 years and her daughter Marirose will celebrate her 15th Birthday next week.

This is such a tragedy for her family and ours here at Ten Lives.  We know she is surrounded by numerous animals up at Rainbow Bridge but things will never be the same for those of us she left behind.

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.

Pictured right is Madison, our first volunteer to earn her t-shirt, with Little Man, our FIV+ cat that was recently adopted from the Galleria location.  Congratulations Madison! 


Volunteers  who complete 15 hours of service will receive a FREE Ten Lives Club t-shirt!   Volunteers who are age 16+ & in need of community service hours will receive a FREE TLC t-shirt after completing 20 hours of service!

Please consider VOLUNTEERING for a 12pm to 4pm shift or a 4pm to 8pm shift.
