A Birthday at Violet Cottage

Twins_party.jpgGillian and Gracie are twins and they really did have "double the fun" on their birthday a few weeks ago. The girls and their friends celebrated with the CAPS cats at Violet Cottage. They sang Happy Birthday in "meow-ese", played "pin the tail on the kitty" and they each chose their very own Sponsor Kitty as a birthday present.

The guests at the party made the day very special for the CAPS kitties, too, by bringing them all their very own presents.  Thank you Gillian and Gracie for having your party at CAPS!

A Happy Birthday

For her birthday Raina only wanted one thing...she wanted to help animals. Her mother contacted CAPS and arranged a visit for Raina and her family so they could meet the foster kitties at CAPS. Instead of presents at her party, she invited her friends to donate money to buy food and litter for the cats who live in Violet cottage. The cats certainly showed their appreciation when Raina came to bring her presents.

Thanks to Middleton Regional High School

Shown above are some of the many students at the MRHS who worked so hard to make Helping Hands a resounding success once again this year. Pictured with them are their teacher, Mrs. Crystal Veinott, and their principal, Mr. Gushue. These students and all their grade nine classmates worked hard to raise money for CAPS, the Middleton Food Bank and the Salvation Army this past Christmas season.

CAPS was presented with $1842.00 at a pre-holiday assembly at the school. Their teachers and parents and all of us at CAPS are so proud of these young people. They have made a huge difference to our foster animals as we head into winter. Bravo to all!
