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.
