The Cat Shack, Inc.
HELP!!! We are starting to run out of space in our foster homes for kittens and cats,

Please check out our Official Foster Courtesy Waitlist

Thank you to all the volunteers that helped staff the table for the Cat Shack at the Petsmart in Whitehall May 4th, 5th and 6th for the Petsmart national Adoption Weekend!
Amy Susan Sullivan (nee Pettersen), 46, of Fogelsville, PA passed away suddenly, but peacefully, at her residence on Monday April 16, 2012. Following their marriage over 18 years ago, Brian and Amy were truly blessed by the birth of their daughter, Summer Ann Sullivan on December 16, 1994. By February 1995, the family relocated with Brians career from West Palm Beach, FL to Fogelsville, PA. For the past 17 years, Amy gave selflessly to be a full time mom, the role she considered the most valuable and rewarding aspect of her life. Amy became an active volunteer inside and outside of the classroom at Summers grade school, St. Joseph the Worker. In addition to being a homeroom Mom and supporting the teachers as needed, Amy loved coaching girls youth sports-soccer, volleyball and basketball. She was an amazing adopter and a strong supporter of many organizations. She is seen below with her daughter and their kitty, Vitamin, whom they adopted from TCS last August.
In lieu of flowers, Amy's family have requested donations to Allentown Central Catholic High School and the Cat Shack in Amy's Memory. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mcall/obituary.aspx?n=amy-s-sullivan&pid=157114918 Please click on the PayPal link on the bottom left hand side to donate in her name. Thank you!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Please Help Little Teddy!
Little Teddy was found at a small engine repair shop in Eastern PA. The kittens there were very sick and the owner was only willing to feed them.
He had developed pneumonia, but with intensive care, Teddy was able to win the battle. Within 3 days his fever had finally come down and he is doing better.
That is the good news for Teddy, however the bad news is that the Cat Shack's bill for intensive care ended up totaling in excess of $1500 and there may still be ongoing bills to re-check his x-rays to be sure his lungs have cleared. Please consider donating. 501 (c) 3 non-profit/tax deductible.

The Cat Shack just took on another urgent cat that needs more then the typical vet work to save her young life. Little Scarlett was born outside to a stray mother cat. A concerned person noticed that Scarlett's eye looked sore and infected. It took some time for the feral family to be captured, but thankfully Scarlett made it to Perkiomen Animal Hospital in Palm last night, right before closing. Sadly, her eye has already ruptured. She was immediately put on pain killers and antibiotics, and she must have the eye removed today.
We need your help! The Cat Shack has already spent over $5500 more on vet bills this year then we have brought in by donations/adoption fees/ fundraisers and other sources of funding. Please help the Cat Shack to continue to help cats with urgent medical issues like Scarlett by contributing to the Prudence Memorial Fund.
See all the Cats!

The Cat Shack continues to offer low cost spay/neuter clinics where stray and feral cats can be altered to help curb the serious cat overpopulation problem.
Please spay and neuter your pets and, if you are feeding stray or feral cats, please be responsible and have them spayed and neutered also. It is up to us, the animals lovers that care about these cats, to assure that there is a GOOD home available for every kitten born. We all need to do our part to prevent the birth of new cats that will never be adopted.
We have so many wonderful pets who would love to have a home with you. Check them out!
