"Give a Day, Get a Disney Day"

What a month! Since we signed up in early February we have met some wonderful volunteers - some who even have gone above and beyond to help Homeward Bound kitties. Now that the program is ending we wanted to give everyone some estimated numbers to think about. 45 volunteers signed up to help at the Adoption Centers, 37 volunteers signed up to do laundry, 21 volunteers signed up to make telephone calls, and (DRUMROLL) 543 volunteers signed up to donate handmade blankets for kitties so HUNDREDS of blankets poured in from as far as SLC, Mesquite, and Pahrump. Those that didn't meet our guidelines were donated in turn to other area rescues so everyone ultimately won!

On Valentine's Day weekend we had a bake sale to raise money for our special needs kitties. We had 227 volunteers sign up to bake sweets and treats and we raised almost $800! Leftovers were donated in turn to the Las Vegas Rescue Mission.

Thanks to Disney they 'inspired' over 1,000 volunteers to help us and invested almost $80,000 to make it happen. Best yet is in seeing some of these volunteers stay and help us again!

What is April 10th??? It's Pet-a-Palooza Time!

We need awesome pet parents who have adopted from Homeward Bound or existing Homeward Bound volunteers and fosters to help us talk to the public about the benefits of volunteering for a great organization! You are the 'voice' of all the kitties still waiting to get adopted ... who better than you to advocate on their behalf? We ask that you commit in 2-hour shifts between 10-5pm, and in return you'll get in for free to the event! Please email us to reserve your spot!

Thanks to the 32 volunteers who TOGETHER donated over 125 volunteer hours to

Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions this holiday season - it's the best gift ever!

Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions is doing GOOD in the community.

In October 2008, Carol Fox, President of Homeward Bound Cat

Adoptions, was named as the 2008 Animal Rescue HERO by the

American Red Cross of Southern Nevada.

In 2008, Homeward Bound, through referrals, arranged for low-cost

spay/neuters and vaccinations for approximately 360 cats in need of

such. For additional information contact Carol Fox at 533-3440.

On several occasions, Homeward Bound was able to provide free cat

litter to cat owners unable to bear the cost due to economic hardship.

Due to the generosity of our veterinary network, Homeward Bound accepted into its program and provided veterinary care for over 20 homeless cats that were injured or elderly. The injured were rehabilitated and placed for adoption when possible. Homeward Bound provided hospice care for the geriatric cats.
