2010 News Archives
2010 Final Stats Available!
2010 has come and gone, and thanks to the generosity of our supporters, volunteers, visitors, and friends, ALF experienced another great year for homeless animals! Here are the highlights:
- With your help another 115 cats were spayed or neutered, preventing an estimated 1,049 new births in the course of a year, saving them from euthanasia as they compete for an adoptive home, face injury and starvation, abuse or predators. That's a 27% increase from 2009!
- Thirty tame cats and kittens were placed for adoption.
- Nine dogs were saved with the ALF dog trap.
- We committed to three more feral cat colonies, providing TNR (Trap/Neuter/Return) and lifelong maintenance and care.
- Five new "special needs" cats were provided medical care.
- Four more volunteers stepped in to help during 2010.
- We experienced our most successful fundraiser to date, raising more than $2000 to Spare the Alley Cats and Strike Out Overpopulation. Our annual expenses average $6500 per year.
- The Landfill TNR project was completed.
- Construction on the Habicat4ALF was finished, and already it has provided a safe haven for several recovering or fostered cats.
- Several new informative articles and resources were added to the website to help the public care for their pets and free-roaming animals.
- The popular Ask ALF advice column was created to solve some mysteries of cat behavior, and even some dogs!
- Our Guidestar report was published, approving Animal Loving Friends as a verified non-profit organization in compliance with the IRS.
- We said Goodbye to Willie, one of the year's special needs cats. Willie came to us early in the year, very tame, but severely underweight and in poor health. He was found to be FIV+, and likely suffering from cancer. We removed him from the streets at once and placed him in foster care, providing for his many medical needs. Eventually he was taken in by a no-kill, cage-free sanctuary where he lived in the company of other cats with similar conditions, and received the utmost in care and love. In late August, Willie peacefully crossed over the bridge, after spending the latter part of his life in safety, enjoying all the things cats love.
Which means 207 spaces are left available for the adoption groups to save more cats from being killed at the open-access shelters like the county "pound" and humane societies.
Shopping for someone who has everything? How about making a spay or neuter donation in lieu of a gift? ALF will send a special card to your gift recipient to let them know of this unique gift in their name. Help us trim our Holiday Tree with ornaments, lights, gifts, and a bright shining star!
Be an Angel to help feed homeless cats, provide them warm shelter, prevent them from breeding, and provide any other medical care they may need.
From the ALF family to yours: MEOW MEOW MEOW! Here's hoping Santa Paws makes your holidays Purrrrrfect!

Though Kitten Season is nearly over, we can't let up. We still need to trap and spay/neuter a lot of community cats, to prevent the births of as many kittens as possible next Spring! Female cats will be going back into heat very soon, so it's a race against time!
ALF is still in need of volunteer help. Just a few more hands, a few times a month, would make a HUGE difference in the lives of many!
Are you a Night Owl? Or an Early Bird? Do you have a free hour or four, that you could spare to help us once a month or more?
We're looking for the next Trapper John, or Trapper Jane. While Hawk Eyes are not required, we do sometimes take the cats to the MASH clinic. If this is something that you can do, please visit our Volunteer page and send us your application today! If you can help, even once a month, please visit our Volunteers page and let us know what you can do to help the homeless, community cats.
We need:
- people who can set humane traps and stay with them late at night
- drivers who can transport them early mornings especially on Sundays
- people who can set out food and water at dusk at our Tempe and Chandler locations
- write and maintain information about events, volunteering, and adoptions on our partner sites on the web
- write for grants
- facilitate fundraisers

August 26, 2010 - Willie has peacefully crossed over the bridge. The vet suspected he had cancer. He spent his last 6 months inside, safe, well-fed, given medical care, LOTs of love, and had many feline and human friends surrounding him. Willie was able to do all the things cats love to do, in the safety of a cat sanctuary. We're thankful to Casa de los Gatos in Tucson for providing this sanctuary and keeping him happy and comfortable to the end. Rest well, dear sweet Willie.
It's been two years in the making, and more than triple our initial estimated cost, but Habicat 4 ALF is finally a reality! Arizona's extreme heat makes trapping during the summer months a challenge. We really needed an outside convalescing room with some ventilation. This air-conditioned structure is just the ticket! Learn more.

Holly's Christmas Miracle
The Great Desert Kitten Rescue
Decker's Destiny
What Matters Most is How You See Yourself
Someone trying to capture young kittens from a feral colony pulled little George out by the tail. He suffered a spinal injury and was partially paralyzed. He was able to walk again within a few days, wobbly at first, but we were just happy to see his determination! In the beginning the doctors weren't sure if he would recover the use of his legs. He eventually lost most of his tail, and had to spend months in his "Incontinental Suite", but Curious George didn't let anything stop him. With the help of dedicated volunteers from Animal Loving Friends in Tempe, AZ, who fed him goat's milk from a bottle, expressed his bladder and colon, bathed him and cleaned his room twice a day, George had a reason to believe.
As he recovered, everything was exaggerated, including his CATtitude. We wondered if he somehow suffered mentally as well, but the doctors assured us that wasn't the case. Eventually as his pain diminished, so did his desire to be Rocky Balboa!
Two years later, Curious George still walks with cattitude, but it's due to an interruption of messages from the brain that facilitate graceful movement of the legs. It's not painful anymore, and George doesn't know that he's any different! He can now run and jump and climb like any other cat, though his shape resembles a camel. We thought his fecal incontinence was behind him (no pun intended), but he still has an occasional issue and has to be closely monitored. He's at a higher risk for megacolon, a potentially life-threatening condition. George prefers not to talk about his ordeal, but instead he lives each and every day as though it's a gift! He reminds us of the kitten who looks into the mirror and sees a lion peering back.

Thanks to you, our most generous and wonderful supporters, we've reached our goal!
2010: 63 cats spayed/neutered, 17 placed for adoption, 8 dogs rescued, 5 cats treated for illness and injury. 450 lbs of food every month. That all adds up to expenses of more than $6000 so far in 2010! Please give generously to help us help those who have been left behind. Donations can be made online by clicking the bowling ball at left, or a Paypal button below. Every dollar helps us reach a strike, helps save countless lives, and gives you an incredible feel good experience being part of a community solution!
Bowl-a-rama is the largest annual fundraiser for the local rescue community, funding the critically important Since we work at the root of the overpopulation issue by sterilizing feral and free-roaming cats, we do not receive adoption fees.
is through generous donations from you. Fewer people are donating, yet more animals are losing their homes. The burden on the animal welfare community has been immense, with no end in sight.
We've rescued them from the desert, dumped in the garbage in city parks, from storm drains and irrigation ditches, in attics and between walls, left in boxes on a busy intersection, among the debris in vacant houses, from the crawl space under commercial buildings - you name it, Animal Loving Friends has probably done it. Treatment costs can easily reach several hundred dollars for a single animal.
On behalf of the homeless animals that you will be helping, please Learn more about Bowl-a-rama at the PACC911 website. |
It's that time of year again, Kitten Season!
It's our busiest, and it doesn't let up until Fall.
Unfortunately, ALF has experienced the loss of some of our volunteer help, while we're the most in need of hands!
If you can help, even once a month, please visit our Volunteers page and let us know what you can do to help the homeless, community cats.
We need:
- people who can set out food and water at dusk at some of our Chandler locations
- people who can set humane traps and stay with them late at night
- drivers who can transport them early mornings especially on Sundays
- write and maintain information about events, volunteering, and adoptions on our partner sites on the web

Speaking of Kitten Season, do you know what to do if you find young kittens? Please resist the urge to pick them up and remove them. Cat rescues will already be very busy and full with litter after litter of kittens brought in from well-meaning members of the public. The open-access shelters will probably euthanize kittens brought to them, because there are not enough resources to care for them.

Feline Fare for FeralsMay is the annual, monthlong "Go Fetch! Food Drive for Homeless Animals" designed to raise awareness about starving and malnourished stray animals. These animals may live on the streets, be abused or neglected, become feral, or live with their homeless families. All of the community cats living in ALF colonies are spayed and neutered, so that the population will not continue to multiply in those areas, thus reducing the burden on the overcrowded shelter and adoption system in our community. We feed them every day, and monitor the colonies for any newcomers, or injured cats. All of this significantly decreases the nuisance behaviors associated with strays.
Did you know that the ALF colonies consume Hundreds of homeless, community cats depend on ALF for a healthy meal. Without us, they might starve to death, or wander into harm's way in search of food.
Make a one-time donation with either "Donate" button; or click the "Subscribe" button, and Paypal will automate your monthly donation to ALF. You may enter any amount (in US Dollars).
$30 will feed one community cat for an entire year. |

May marks the beginning of moving season, when Americans relocate the most. Cats and dogs give unselfishly all year long, yet many people reciprocate by abandoning their pets when they move. Bewildered and scared, these now-homeless animals spread out in search of food, water, and shelter. Many of them find the amenities of a feral colony as a means of survival due to the natural food sources, garbage tossed out by food-service businesses in the area, or the cat food left for them by colony caretakers.
If you, or someone you know, is planning a move, the family pets simply must be included in the plans. Read and share this link for information and resources for Pet-Friendly Housing, military deployment, foreclosure, and more. Additional help is available in Economic Relief and Financial Aid for Pets.
We are a nation overflowing with homeless, unwanted animals who were once someone's beloved family pet. Sadly, many of them relinquished to open access shelters will be killed. Please make sure you are a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

According to a study presented at an American Stroke Association conference, cats reduce stress and are good for the heart.
During Kitten Season, adult cats sit in the shelters for months, just waiting for that special someone to notice them. They're often overlooked next to cute, playful kittens. But those kittens will grow into adults in no time! And adult cats have already adapted to human schedules, and learned everything they need to know about living with people. They're happy to curl up in your lap and watch a great movie, or the Evening News. Why not do something that's good for your heart, as well as a cat's?
We've had a lot of injured and ill cats recently. During the 1st quarter '10, we've spayed and neutered 29 more cats. Two FIV-positive, two injured, and two ill. Five more have pending adoptions.

This gorgeous kitten was seen hopping along on 3 legs at a local shopping center. At first we couldn't tell if she even had all of her legs, it almost looked like something had been wound tightly around her back legs and tail. We tried to capture her for over a week before we were successful! It was really painful to watch her movement as she tried to run in a panic. We desperately wanted to get her off the concrete and gravel, and provide her a safe place to heal. Each night as we'd head home without her, we would hang our heads, shed a few tears, and say lots and lots of prayers.
Finally we caught her, and could see that her left rear leg stuck out in front of her, straight from the hip. She's also missing about half of her tail.
Update: Jan 19, 2010 - X-rays show that the leg was broken long ago, while

She has become more social and outgoing, friendlier, more active, MUCH happier. This is an indication that her pain has been reduced greatly.
She's recently begun licking the area in the upper-mid back that was previously so sensitive, so much so that she's beginning to pull the fur out. This is probably from nerve regrowth; she's feeling "pins and needles". Though it seems weird, the vet assures us this is a good sign.
