19th Ward Community Cats was hard at work in 2015!!! In 2015, we were able to spay/neuter 287 free roaming cats in the 19th Ward as part of the City Kitty project. They were also vaccinated, and treated for fleas, worms, and parasites. That's 287 outdoor cats who've received vet care and will no longer be reproducing on our streets or be vulnerable to disease! Approximately 80 of those cats/kittens were placed for adoption with our City Kitty partner, Four-Legged Friends Animal Adoptions, Inc., and they're now in loving forever homes- off the streets entirely! Members of this group and colony caretakers volunteer their time and bear the financial burden for much of this work. If you'd like make a financial contribution to this group please take or mail your donation to the 19th Ward Community Association Office, 216 Thurston Road. Every dollar is spent on vet care for our community cats. If you'd like to help in any other way, please let us know! Thank you!!

Sorry also that I couldn't help with Square Fair. I do the Golisano Children's Hospital Stroll for Strong Kids tomorrow. Best of luck!

Comment by Alice Carli on May 23, 2011 at 10:46am: Thanks, Bill! As a matter of fact, though, since you were the only person who was able to make time this year, I did not sign up for the table. I think it's a good promotional tool and something we'll want to do in future, but right now we're just not ready; we've been doing things with a few people who are overwhelmed right now.

Comment by Bill Nichthauser on May 23, 2011 at 10:19am: And Happy Anniversary!

Comment by Bill Nichthauser on May 23, 2011 at 10:18am: Alice,

Assuming that Square Fair is Sat., June 4, I'll be available for the table after SWAN band plays. (I'll have to go home first to put my stuff away, and then I'll return to help out.)

Comment by Alice Carli on May 23, 2011 at 8:29am: Hi all -- my week for 6/6 is clear except 6/9 (wedding anniversary); I'm looking forward to getting together! And boy, Sheri, I hear you! I'm so glad you guys are going strong! I'm hoping to get a group like that together on my own street, and maybe that's the best way forward right now.

Comment by Jes Karakashian on May 23, 2011 at 8:17am: Week of June 6th, thinking about 6 or 6:30ish in the evening. Any evenings better than others?

Comment by Alice Carli on May 15, 2011 at 10:36am: So far, I've only had three responses to my request about help with the Square Fair booth -- Jes's (sorry about the typo just now, and thanks for asking!), one person who will be away, and one who will work to schedule time between other commitments at the fair. That's not enough to run a table. Any thoughts how I should proceed?

Comment by Alice Carli on May 15, 2011 at 10:26am: Hi Les, Square Fair is an annual 19th Ward event, held the first Saturday in June at Aberdeen Square (Aberdeen and Post are two of the streets, I think, but anyone feel free to correct my geography!). Anyhow, it's a community fair with activities and with tables set up by both commercial and non-profit groups that are active in the neighborhood.

Comment by Jes Karakashian on May 14, 2011 at 11:38am: When 9and what!) is Square Fair, Alice?

Comment by Alice Carli on May 13, 2011 at 8:54am: Meanwhile, another thing -- the deadline for applying for a table at Square Fair is Sunday. We had a cat table last year and it was good. I can get the application in today, but I know that I won't have a lot of time to work the table. Will there be people to help do this? Please let me know!
