Spring Gala for Spay Mart

by

kittyforwebSpayMart is holding its annual Spring Gala and Auction to benefit homeless cats on Saturday, April 6, from 6 to 10 p.m. “An Evening Along the Bayou” will raise a substantial percentage of SpayMart’s operating funds, which will allow the organization to continue providing low-cost spay/neuter and adoption services to the public.

The celebration at the home and gardens of Dr. Rollie Norris on Bayou St. John in New Orleans promises to be a fun-filled night set in near tropical surroundings with live music, martini bars, raffles, great food by local chefs, entertainment, live and silent auctions, and free photographs.

Tickets are $75 if ordered ahead of time, $100 at the door, and $750 for a reserved table for eight. You can order tickets at SpayMart or buy them at the SpayMart Thrift and Gift Shop in the Century Plaza Shopping Center at 6601 Veterans Blvd. in Metairie.

SpayMart was started by Lynn Chiche and Pam Casey in 1998 to to reduce pet overpopulation in the New Orleans area. Their mission has always been to address animal overpopulation and animal homelessness through education, aggressive spay/neuter, and adoption programs. The organization spay/neuters an average of 1,500 animals of indigent pet owners annually and adopts more than 400 cats to loving homes.

The non-profit group was getting ready to open the city’s first low-cost, high-volume spay/neuter clinic when Katrina hit, destroying the roof and ruining everything inside.

After the storm, Chiche focused her efforts on rescuing cats from the floodwaters. Her house in Metairie flooded, and she landed near Picayune, Miss., where she bought some property and turned a large building into a no-kill shelter for cats.

She and her husband live on the grounds, and she cares for more than 250 cats, most rescued from New Orleans and surrounding parishes. To learn more about SpayMart and to see cats available for adoption, visit SpayMart or call the shelter at 601.749.0268.

Fosters for Ferals

Become an LA/SPCA volunteer and enroll in our Foster Program. Help us socialize semi-feral kittens and cats who may just need a little extra TLC. The amount of attention and care these borderline animals receive is often the key difference in whether or not they are successfully adopted. Our foster program is always eager for new families to join, and accepts applications for people wanting to foster dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets. Help make a difference in an adoptable animal’s life.

Caretaker Club

By joining the Caretaker Club, you become an official part of the caretaker community, with access to resources and the ability to network with other caretakers. This is an invaluable tool for caretakers who may have special needs and concerns, such as where to find someone who can colony-sit while they’re out of town, or who may want to find others in the neighborhood in order to pool resources. This is also the list of folks who will be priority notified for free or low cost spay days, donations of bulk cat food, and other great deals. Fill out the online application to become a member.
