Lucky gets second lease on life!
Confident that GRASP supporters would step-up to help with Lucky's expenses, we decided to take her into our care when the mail carrier turned to GRASP for help. Lucky was transferred to Caring for Cats where she spent more than a week getting intensive, supportive care to stabilize her before undergoing surgery. In the meantime, we reached out to all of you for financial and foster-care help. A number of wonderful people offered to foster Lucky, and once we had a better idea of just how young she was and what her recovery would involve, we selected an experienced family to foster her for us. The King family has promised to keep us all up-to-date on Lucky's progress. Additionally, as we had hoped, we've received many financial donations to help with Lucky's vet care and we've already collected close to the amount needed to cover her bills. We are so grateful to all of you for forwarding Lucky's story on to people in your email address lists. As a result of your generosity and compassion, Lucky is warm and safe and recovering in a loving foster home! Her foster mom says she is a happy, rowdy girl! GRASP will continue to collect contributions for the Angel Fund on a regular basis so that other deserving dogs and cats will have a second chance for a healthy, happy life.

June 2009: Can you foster a pet in your home? We need you now! GRASP is reaching out to all local residents for help right now as we are in dire need for additional foster space. Would you please consider fostering a healthy, friendly cat or kitten for us? If you can't, do you know of anyone who might consider helping us out? Before being placed into foster care, all cats and kittens are fully vet checked, tested for feline leukemia and FIV, checked and treated for all parasites and fleas and fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered. GRASP will gladly provide food, litter, litter boxes, dishes and toys. All we need from you is a little extra space in your heart and home. If you've ever thought about helping out, please make now the time you decide to step-up! GRASP does not have a pet shelter. All rescued animals stay temporarily in volunteer foster homes until they are adopted into a permanent home. Call 234-1953 or contact one of the Foster Coordinators to become a foster family! Interested in Volunteering? There are lots of ways that you can helpout, even if you can't adopt a pet right now!
