TEN LIVES CLUB IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE......
   Dr. Kelly Czech will be working part-time with us on Thursdays from 10am –5pm and Dr. Sharon Fisk will work on Mondays 1pm-5pm to care for all the surrendered cats that come into our program, as well as the cats and kittens currently in our shelter and foster care. Last year well over $100,000 was spent on vet bills for cats entering our program and sick cats in our care. TLC will now be saving a lot of money with our own care for our cats. We will stand by our word and certainly pay our vet bills back to the vets that have been so patient and kind to us. We owe them a lot in the way of thanks and of course bills!

    Also added to our staff at the shelter is Jane the vet assistant who cares for the health and welfare of the cats in the new shelter. On any single day in the shelter, as many as 50+ cats may need to be given meds, fluids, eye treatment, vaccines, ointment spread on to get over ringworm, dippings, etc. Jane will also be assisting Dr. Kelly with the spaying and neutering of TLC cats and kittens. Many do not realize the care, time and expense that goes into each cat or kitten coming into our shelter. They are weighed and seen by our vet when they enter. A file is made so every detail of their care is recorded. Daily health checks are performed on every single cat – meaning close to 200 cats and kittens are checked on daily to make sure they are healthy, not losing weight, eating, etc. Paid staff is a necessity to run our operation.

Dr.Stantz

If you've never had to take your animal to Animal Eye Care of Western New York, then consider yourself lucky. If you have had to take an animal there to see Dr.Stantz well, then consider yourself blessed. Located at 4865 Transit Road in Depew, this multi-area office feels more like a warm inviting living room complete with fireplace and don't forget the furry friendly hosts that greet you at the door. Dr.Stantz admits herself that she has 11 cats at home, 8 more which actually live at her office. Her youthful glow and pleasant demeanor are enough to quell any worried parents fears. When I took my then foster cat Freckles to see Dr.Stantz she examined her with such tenderness that I felt as though she loved her as much as I did. Looking around the exam room I could see from all the wonderful words of thanks that many other patients felt the same as me. An over four year supporter of The Ten Lives Club, Dr.Stantz has opened her door (and her heart) to countless numbers of Ten Lives critters. Highest regards to a kind and loving provider of top quality animal eye care. Many thanks to Dr.Stantz.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION GRANT AWARDED

  A $15,000.00 grant from the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo was awarded to Ten Lives Club cat rescue and adoption group. The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo is a public charity established by individuals, families, non-profit agencies and businesses to benefit Western New York. This grant enabled the organization to begin sponsorship of a low-cost mobile spay & neuter clinic for cats. From July through October, the mobile clinic provided sterilization surgeries and vaccinations to approximately 200 cats, operating at a site in Hamburg and, in partnership with Save-a-Pet, another local rescue group at a location in Lockport. States Ten Lives Club spokesperson Marie Edwards, “this grant helped us get established and up and running with our mobile clinic to service the many cats in need in Western New York. We are grateful to the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo for awarding us this grant so we can continue on with our mission statement of “promoting, furthering and enhancing all feline life.” We believe one of the easiest and smartest ways to do such is through spaying and neutering and vaccines which this grant made possible for us to do.”

  During the winter months, clinics will continue to be offered, thanks to the SPCA serving Erie County, which has provided the use of its Angola facilities. For information and scheduling of your cat to be spayed or neutered, please call 992-9486.

For information on the above, please contact Marie Edwards – 646-5577

Meghan

Meghan gave up her birthday gifts this year during her birthday party with her friends and instead asked them to make a donation to Ten LIves Club to help the cats. Meghan adopted a TLC cat awhile ago and wanted to help the other cats in our program. Donations were made from Meghan and also her friends at St. Bernadette;s Elementary School. Way to go Meghan for thinking of your cats for your 8th birthday!

Two local school-age supporters, pictured with a Ten Lives Club volunteer, gave up their birthday presents from their friends and instead asked that gifts and donations be given to our cat group. The cats appreciated the many gifts they ended up receiving such as toys, litter, cat food, canned food.  We thank them for giving up their birthday gifts to help out the cats!!  Way to go girls!


Boston Valley Elementary recently held a fundraiser for Ten Lives Club where they asked the students and staff to collect items for the group.  Pictured are some of the students at Boston Valley with the over 8 boxes they collected for their efforts including food, litter, towels, blankets and toys.

(Friday, July 29) Ten Lives Club (Cheryl Ludwig of Delta Sonic and myself) were on the air from 6:30 am - 8:00 am promoting our group and our cats.  We brought four cats to the studio and all were little celebrities there climbing all over the studio and even turning up the volume by cat accident for one oldies song!  We brought four of our harder to place cats there - Angie who is older, Katherine an all black cat, Wilson who is older and Tyger Doodle who is an FIV and people flip out on though NO reason too!  He is as lovable as all other cats and can lead a good, long life. Sue Nichols works at the radio station and put the good word in to get us on. Gail Ann Huber who is one of the DJ's is looking to have us on as a monthly feature.  We and the cats had alot of fun!  Thank you Oldies 104.1 and Delta Sonic!
