Thought for the day..."The cat, it is well to remember, remins the friend of man
because it pleases him to do so and not because he must. --Carl van Vechten

There are some cats looking for forever homes who require a little more understanding and care. Read about this month's Special Cat

Petting day was a great day for the shelter. We had lots of visitors giving lots of pats to the kitties. The "Let us entertain you" section at the left has pictures of the event.

Judy Wilson (above) won the door prize.

NEADY Cats Receives
Award of Excellence

NEADY Cats Sponsor Tea and Blessing in the Memorial Garden will be held August 4th. Blessing is at 10:00 AM followed by visits with the kitties. The picture above is from a previous year.

The Independent Charities "Best in America" seal of excellence is award-ed to those mem-bers of Independent Charities of Amer-ica and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. Of the one million charities operating in the US today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal of Excellence.

Gifts large and small are important. Charitable giving is not only for the wealthy! Make a contribution from your estate through a bequest. Visit Leave a Legacy to learn how to do it.
