Burnet Resident helps save 22 cats!
This is a story about Mike who lives right here in Burnet. He called to inquire about our Spay Neuter program. After we visited with him, we discovered that there were 22 cats in his apartment complex that needed to be spayed or neutered. With Mike’s help, we were able to trap all 22 kitties. We took them to Pet Pals in Marble Falls where they were spayed/neutered and received their rabies shots. Without Mike’s holiday spirit of helping and loving animals, this would never have happened. We visited Mike recently and he has such a sweet family of cats now. They all run out and follow him and really love him. It is very heartwarming to watch him with his cats as you can see in the picture. Thank you to Mike and all our Burnet donors who support Hill Country Cat Control and the cats of Burnet County.
This Holiday Season, HCC gives thanks for:
- Hill Country Humane Society, Bluebonnet Vet Clinic, Pet Pals in Marble Falls, Hope Animal Clinic, and Burnet Vet Clinic who provided spay/neuter (S/N) services
- Roger Beasley Mazda for donating our van and annual contributions
- Carolee’s Antiques, Town Square, in Burnet Texas for allowing consignors to donate their proceeds to HCC
- The Burnet Bulletin and Highlander Newspapers
- Street Cat Rescue & Donna Powell in Round Rock for facilitating S/N Clinics
- Businesses that host our donation boxes located in Las Comadres Restaurant in Burnet, Hope Animal Clinic in Marble Falls, HSB Vet Clinic and Bluebonnet Vet Clinic and Carolee’s Antique Mall in Burnet
- The HCC volunteers
- You, our loyal donors, without whom HCC would not exist
We realize that times are particularly tough right now…. especially for our low-income clients. Please find it in your heart to give what you can. Your donations do a lot more than fund TNR clinics. They allow us to make a meaningful difference right in our own neighborhoods.
Essential Holiday Pet Safety Tips
Avoid Human Foods: Many holiday foods are toxic to pets. Keep chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, onions, garlic, grapes, and raisins out of reach.
Choose Pet-Safe Plants: Avoid common holiday plants like poinsettias, mistletoe, and holly, which can be toxic. Consider using artificial decorations.
Candle safety: Never leave burning candles unattended.
HCC never shares your Information! With all the identify theft lately, you might legitimately wonder what happens to your personal information when you share it with HCC to receive our Mewsletter or send us donation checks. The simple answer is that it stays with HCC and is not given or sold to anyone else. If you have ANY reason to think that your information has been compromised, please contact us at the phone number on the donation slip in this Mewsletter and let us know. We have secured our data systems but if you have any suspected problems, please let us know so we can correct any issues.
Hill Country Cats wants to thank you for your support of our Trap/Neuter/Return activities.
We also want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday season.
