The State Club's Own Freshman Orientation...

This week, the State Club had a mother cat with five adorable kittens who attained Alumni status in an unusual way. Staff of The State Club discovered the litter hidden behind a trash receptacle at our delivery doors on Saturday. 

We called Lisa Kroll at the SPCA on Monday, who promptly arrived and was able to remove four of the five immediately. A very dedicated pet rescuer, Lisa made a total of seven trips until she managed to bring in first the mama cat and finally, the elusive #5 at 10:30 Tuesday evening. The kittens were born wild, but are already responding to socialization with humans and will be adoptable in the near future. Their mother is being evaluated, and will be either placed for adoption at the SPCA or will be spayed and re-homed in a colony suitable for her lifestyle. 

The State Club is grateful for the extra efforts of Lisa and the SPCA, whose annual fund-raising Fur Ball will be held at the Club in October. The situation also provided an opportunity to inform many staff members at the Park Center who were concerned about the welfare of these cuties about the valuable work that the Wake County SPCA, which is a non-profit, no-kill shelter, performs. Their website is full of information, and donations are of course welcome, www.Spcawake.org.
