Volunteers and resources at CatNap Society in are stretched to capacity. Can you help? Take a look at the ways you may be able to support in their original post🐱

We are at capacity. This year we have taken in over 400 cats and kittens needing help in the Nanaimo - Ladysmith area. Homeless, stray and sick cats needing help is a very real problem right here in our own backyard

CatNap Society is a 100% volunteer run organization. Our volunteers and resources are stretched to capacity. We need your help to find Foster Homes, Adopters and Donations to continue our vital work helping vulnerable cats/kittens in Nanaimo and Ladysmith.

We have almost 200 cats and kittens currently in care - our foster homes are at capacity with many opening up an extra room to help out but the requests for help keep coming.

But we need help from the community - here are some of the ways you can help:

1. FOSTER - we are looking for foster homes for kittens and cats. Do you have a spare room or bathroom that you could use as a designated fostering space? A little time, patience and love to share? Complete the online volunteer form to get started (https://www.catnapsociety.com/volunteer)
2. ADOPT - adopting a rescued cat or kitten means that another one from our community can be helped. Links to uur adoptable cats are pinned to the top of our FB page. Cats and kittens are posted as they are socially and medically ready.
3. DONATE - monetary donations can be made via this post or via CanadaHelps (https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/82161). All donations go directly towards the needs (medical, food, litter and other supplies) of the locally rescued cats. Tax receipts issued directly by donation platform.
4. MONTHLY DONOR - become a monthly supporter through Canada Helps (https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/82161) - monthly donations gives CatNap a regular stream of funds to help pay for medical bills etc for the cats.
5. DONATE REFUNDABLES - our next bottle drive is scheduled for January 18, 2025. We will take refundables any time. Email [email protected] or message us on FB or IG
6. BUSINESS DONATIONS - we are looking for donations from businesses for our annual online auction coming up in November. Email [email protected]
7. LIKE & SHARE - please like and share this post to help spread the word. Many people don't realize the number of cats needing help right here in Nanaimo-Ladysmith

Thank you for your ongoing support, without it we wouldn't be able to help the cats and kittens

Our special tribute show for Sheriff Rich of Rockingham is now available on Mixcloud. It was a night full of laughter, tears, and some of Rich’s favourite tunes as we remembered an incredible friend, co-host, and music lover.

If you missed it live or want to listen again, you can now stream it anytime 🎶

Listen here: https://mixcloud.com/intheredcanada/

This one’s for you, Rich. We will love you and will miss you for all time ❤️

In The Red on 101.7 FM CHLY is on Mixcloud. Join to listen to great radio shows, DJ mix sets and Podcasts

Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight for our tribute show to Sheriff Rich of Rockingham on In The Red. Sharing stories, laughs, tears, and meaningful music with you was cathartic for us, and we hope it was for you too. We’ll be posting the show for on-demand listening in the next few days, so stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, here’s a special song for Rich — the one that had his grandma convinced he was Steven Page in this Ba*****ed Ladies video. We will always think of him when we hear it ❤️

Original Video...lets see how long it stays up this time...changed appearance slightly....CAR!Sorry it cuts off at the end.....

It has been an extraordinarily difficult few weeks for us at In The Red, as we’ve been mourning the loss of our dear friend and former co-host, Sheriff Rich of Rockingham. Rich brought an incredible depth of knowledge and passion for music to our show. His humor, particularly his infamous Michael Bublé impression, and his sharp wit made every broadcast unforgettable. We’ll miss him more than words can express.

Tonight’s show will be a tribute to Rich, featuring music he loved and introduced us to, including some tracks from his band, The Papillomas.

Thank you for your support, and for respecting our privacy during this difficult time.
