We have been short a vet tech lately and are way behind on processing incoming cats and performing surgeries. TLC had to take a small break in accepting surrenders. We have NO available cage space!  Every cage is full and we even borrowed more cages.

TLC is a free roaming shelter but new cats are kept in cages until seen by our vet. In our infirmary, we also use cages to keep germs from spreading.

This is only the 4th time in our 15+ year history we have had to stop accepting more cats. However, emergency situations arose and we had to help.

We are slowly catching up but please be patient with us.  Every staff member is overwhelmed and very overworked right now. 

Ten Lives Club staff is very committed and loyal!  Thank goodness for EACH of them! 

Thanks as always for everyone's support!  

We could not do any of this without each of you believing in TLC!

PETFINDER WORKS WONDERS FOR TLC KITTY

Benjamin Stein-d'Lobita and Axel d'Lobita with Winston

Submitted By: Benjamin Stein-d'Lobita and Axel d'Lobita

Several years ago before I had moved to Buffalo from Long Island, NY, a neighborhood black cat that had eye problems disappeared during the spring and was never seen again. He had always followed me home as when I walked around, meowing and insisting on endless belly rubs. I always wondered what had happened to him. I sincerely hoped that wherever he was, he was at peace and somewhere he was loved.

My parents had always firmly believed in “don’t shop, adopt” and took in many rescued animals, leading to my passion for rescuing pets. In December 2015, my then-fiancé (now husband) Ben and I had been mulling over the idea of adding a new furry member to our family. We had left a multi-roommate situation where our three-year-old cat Orion was one of six living in a three level house. He no longer had his best friend (a white Siamese mix named Walter) that he had bonded with over a year and a half. Ben and I had also discussed finding a special needs cat that required extra love and attention. We knew whomever we adopted had to be cat-sibling friendly and able to adapt to a small apartment. I began my search on Petfinder.com daily, scrolling through a plethora of adoptable cats while working overnights at a hotel.

A week before Christmas I had discovered Winston's profile. The Ten Lives Club of the Walden Galleria Mall had a posted a short paragraph on his history. He was a rescue from a high kill shelter that lost one eye but still had all the charm in the world and love to share. I printed out his Petfinder listing and came home the following morning and showed it to Ben. Winston’s story and personality called to me and I knew from that moment I wanted to bring him home. I called the shelter to ask if he was still available after returning from a holiday trip. Kristen, the manager from TLC, confirmed he was still at the shelter.  I asked Ben his opinion on Winston and he agreed that he would be a good fit for us. Every few days I would check the shelter’s Facebook page to see if Winston was still there, and he was. We had to stand by to prepare our home for a new addition and ensure he would have a smooth transition. Ben and I agreed we would not adopt a new family member until everything was ready.

A month before Valentine’s Day, we made the trip to the mall to meet Winston after weeks of patiently waiting for the right time. An hour and a half ride from downtown by bus, we arrived in the afternoon and requested to have a meet and greet. Kristen noted that if he were to go home with us, he must have a slow introduction to Orion. The second stipulation was that he must take his beloved green coil toy home. After the approval was given we asked if we could return the next day with our friend’s car to pick him up. As of January 15th, 2016 Winston came home with us, coil and all. Orion and Winston met nose to nose through the carrier and behind the bathroom door; Orion seemed unfazed but interested in who this new friend could be. After a few days we allowed them to interact with supervision but barrier-free. Winston became a much-loved part of our small family. His similarities to the long-departed neighborhood cat continued to make me wonder daily if this was him in a new body but the same spirit.

Ben now volunteers at TLC’s Galleria shelter, and we have since adopted our third cat and second special needs baby, a deaf cat named Neil. We thank not only the Ten Lives Club for their dedication to rescuing high risk, special needs, FIV+, and senior cats but also Petfinder.com for helping us connect with them and find Winston.

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.

PRAYERS FOR JEANNIE

Katherine Street in the First Ward of South Buffalo is particularly a problem area for stray and unwanted cats.  Recently, Ten Lives took in five kittens from a business property on Katherine Street.  There were three more at the time that volunteers were trying to trap. Those three were rescued last week.

Some may not have given this kitten - we named Jeannie - a chance. But at Ten Lives Club, this is what we do.  Although it can be so heartbreaking to see what neglect and abandonment can do to the kitties that come to us for help.

Jeannie was surrendered with severe eye infections in both eyes.  Her eyes had gone untreated for so long it's clear in the picture to the left how severe her infection was when she came to us. One eye is beyond saving and will need to have enucleation (eye removal). 

Her foster home has been treating Jeannie with three different eye medicines six times a day.  That's 18 times a day plus antibiotics!  Her foster Mom, Paula, turned this very sick little baby into a perky little kitten who has started to play. 

It's amazing how far little Jeannie has come in less than two weeks with medication and tender loving care!

Paula has been with Ten Lives Club for 14 years. She has easily fostered and/or adopted out over 1,000 plus moms and kittens!

Paula is a true cat angel to little Jeannie and all of the kitties that she takes under her loving wings. Ten Lives is so grateful to have Paula and all of our committed foster homes! They give so many cats and kittens such loving care and the chance to find their forever homes. 

Jeannie will have the one eye removed when she's bigger as Animal Eye Care could not save that infected eye.  But now, she is out of pain and can see with her other eye.
We still need "Prayers for Jeannie" and thank everyone for the donations and kind words of hope and love for her!  We love our little Jeannie! 

Thanks to all who believe and support us in all that we do! 

If you would like to make a donation towards Jeannie's continued care, please CLICK HERE!

 

TLC RESCUES MAMA CAT SHOT IN NECK!

 
Sweet Darby is just one example of the many cases of cruelty & abuse that come through the doors of Ten Lives Club.

Darby, a female, came into our program with her baby kittens and went to one of our loyal and experienced foster homes. The foster home noticed a bump on her neck.

When Darby was spayed and under sedation, the bump was checked. A .22 bullet was taken out of Darby's neck!  Pictured below left is the .22 bullet removed from Darby's neck during surgery.

Pictured below right is the open wound.  Darby is on pain medication not only for her spay but also the wound which our vet left open to heal.  Once she is finished with her antibiotics to prevent infection, Darby will be available for adoption in about a week.

Poor Darby has been through so much yet even so, she is a sweet little thing and so trusting.  

PLEASE HELP US FIND SWEET DARBY THE LOVING FOREVER HOME SHE DESERVES!

 

CALL 716-646-5577 TO ADOPT DARBY!

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!

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!

KITTENS FOUND IN DUMPSTER BROUGHT TO TLC!

On Friday, May 15, 2015, Ten Lives Club received an urgent phone call from a local veterinarian we work with regularly.  Their clinic took in some newborn kittens and needed our help immediately.  

That morning, while emptying a dumpster in South Buffalo, employees from Modern Disposal found two plastic bags with FOUR newborn kittens inside.  These poor little babies still had their umbilical chords and the afterbirth was also in one of the bags!  The employees saw no sign of the poor Mother cat who had her babies ripped away from her as soon as she gave birth.  

Unfortunately, it was already too late for two of the newborns but somehow the other two were hanging on - barely.

Ten Lives Club brought the two surviving newborns to the shelter for immediate medical attention and care.  They were literally only HOURS old & needed fluids and round the clock feedings.  One of our wonderful foster volunteers stepped in to help.

Despite our best efforts and care, one newborn passed away on Saturday and the other one followed on Monday.

READ NEWS STORY HERE...AND HERE

What a cruel and irresponsible way of dealing with an unwanted litter of kittens.  

Ten Lives Club is deeply saddened and outraged about this unbelievable act of cruelty against these poor newborn babies and the Mama cat, who's whereabouts are unknown. 

These newborn kittens were bagged up & thrown away like pieces of TRASH!  Meanwhile, the Mama cat, if she's still alive, will continue to have litter after litter of unwanted kittens...

There is a simple solution to unwanted litters -

COMEDY NIGHT FOR THE CATS A HUGE SUCCESS!

Ten Lives Club Comedy Night for the Cats was a BIG HIT with over 100 PEOPLE who came out to GFY for the event! It was a FULL HOUSE & an evening of fun! 

Guests were entertained with comedy acts performed by NINE stand up comics - Chris Gullo, Shannon Dawn, Max Leroy, Jon Shuta, Tim Victor, Anthony Rizzo, Rick Roberts, Brian Netzel Jr. & Ryan Henry who came out to support the kitties!  Chris & his comic friends put on a fantastic show!

MANY THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
