Dear Jean, I have so many things to thank you for, first the opportunity to work with such a wonderful organization that does amazing work making a difference. Without your help Diana, Deb and I would not be able to help cats and kittens in as large a number. Whether it’s bottle feeding orphaned kittens, treating an injury or spay-neuter release, they are all labors of love. Bless you for making it possible. Thank you also for the funds made …
Thanks for the treatment and care you give cats to cut down the population. God Bless, Beth F. . . .

From the kitties: John Boy & Jesse thank you too! I think!! 🙂 I am 8 years old. My name is Jessie. I love animals but we can’t pay to spay and neuter them so thanks a lot. We live on a dead end road so people just drop them off here. We fixed our garage & porch with straw to keep them warm and we feed them. Sometimes that’s hard but me & Mammie (Grams) do it. We once …
Dear Jean, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and financial support for our feral cats. Mary and I are located on a dead end road next to Tioga Downs Casino and Racing Facility. Needless to say we get strays every year, possibly from the horse barns. We have been feeding these cats for years and, even when we really couldn’t afford it, paid for some to be neutered spayed. We are on a very low fixed income and are …
Dear Circle of Compassion For Animals, Thanks to you, more than 2,860 animals in Yavapai County have been saved in 2017. On behalf of them, and all of us at YHS, thank you for giving these furry friends hope, a new future, and a loving home to call their own. This year our family fostered a litter of four kittens just five or six weeks old: Judas, Jasmine, Jolene, and Jordan. They stayed with us for a month. A man …
Dear Sponsor of Cats on the Border Project, Wow! What a Christmas present! Thank you! Through the Cats on the Border project, I was able to get three farm cats spayed/neutered recently. I was particularly relieved to get one female spayed. She seems to be particularly active and I believe her to have given birth to 3 litters of kittens this year. Unfortunately, while she seems quite capable of giving birth to kittens, she’s not physically able to manufacture enough …
Jean, Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for making 2017 a great year! Love, Deb & Craig . . PACS receives many heartfelt thank-you notes from pet owners and like-minded animal organizations. See more letters and notes here.
Dear Jean, Without an inquiry, request or application, you approved a grant for Spay Neuter Intervention Project SNIP, based on a referral from Sabrina Hansen. To say it is appreciated is an understatement. So often grantors reject organizations making a difference for animals, while wealthy humane organizations with staggering salaries reap the benefits. Paws and Claws Society, Inc. is not in that club. I have attached an invoice documenting the 154th feral (Willets Point) spayed, vaccinated and Revolution. Fee …

A holiday wish for the strays From out my window I can see the garden turning white, May someone help the feral cats out there on such a night! May someone see them searching for bits upon the frozen grass, And put a little food that they’ll find whenever they do pass. Some people say ‘There’s nothing wrong, they run around all right,’ But it takes a while to starve — it doesn’t happen overnight. Their silent forms slip past …
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith, I hope the world is treating you right! I wanted to let you know the latest from the Physicians Committee. It’s been an incredible last few months. As you know, earlier this year, we managed to halt all use of animals in medical schools in the United States and Canada. But at higher levels of training—in some trauma courses or residencies, for example—some animals have still been used. In October, we managed to end the …

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith: I just sent an update a few weeks ago, but I wanted to share some great news. First, as you know, we have long been working to stop the use of animals in medical schools. When I was a medical student at the George Washington University, I refused to participate in a required “dog lab,” and I vowed to end these laboratories.

Paws & Claws, Last week my precious rescued pittie girl, Gem, became mysteriously ill. Dr. Ernst at Parkway Vet Hospital went above and beyond to find out what was wrong with her. After 3 days they offered a transfusion to possibly help her with a very slim chance at survival. At that time she was so critical and I made the decision to euthanize even though the transfusion would be partially funded. It was a difficult choice to make but …

There is a knock on the door at 10PM. Three teenagers have found a sick kitten. The next morning at our vet, Little Lil is diagnosed as being infected with 4 different parasites, a respiratory infection and malnourishment. Now it’s off to the eye clinic for diagnosis and treatment of infections in both eyes. Fast forward 1 month – Lil is a new kitten! She’s cured of all her infections and is fat, sassy & happy. Her calico colors are …
We received a very nice thank-you, with pictures, from Kindness Ranch: Hi Jean, It took awhile because of some engineering challenges, but the cats are able to go outside and wander safely in a HUGE cat run. They love it! You’ll see in one of the pics: Barney the dog meeting Bubba. We are able to use the run to safely introduce dogs to cats and vice versa. The more experiences we can provide to our animals, the more ready …

(Email from a little dog named Lacy) I wanted to thank you . . .for the thunder jacket. My new mommy puts it on me when I am nervous. Last night was a bad one…the storm rolled in and I was shaking like I don’t know what. Mommy put it on me and I just get so relaxed I just stand there. Mommy says I get comatose or something like that. Anyway, it helped me a lot and I just …

Thank you so much. My shelter dog had surgery on 3 moles (2 on eyelids and one on top of head). Because of you, Dr. Hirsch did not charge me for it. I’m so thrilled. We got the dog (Holly), a Husky, one week before Christmas in 2007, from the shelter (this being our 5th stray or shelter dog since 1979). On January 8, 2008, my husband was diagnosed with Cancer of the throat (6 months to live). Because of …

What an answer to prayer, especially after Christmas! Thank you again …
The week before Hurricane Irene, a sweet kitten showed up at our house. He was puffy and orange and very sweet. We named him Milis, which in Gaelic means, yes, “sweet”. He continues to be so. Hurricane Irene brought us another orange kitten, Clair (County Clair in Ireland). Clair is now a typical girl going through adolescence, so only “sweet on her terms”. (Just kidding.) Well, these darlings became my son’s challenge. He is autistic (Aspergers) and these two are …
I would really like to thank you for some money toward Booty’s vet bill. He is a feral cat and I have been feeding him for about 3 years. He would not come to me when this happened. My other cat finally found him in the woods. I got him out and took him to the vet. Thank God you gave me some money towards the bill because I didn’t know how I was going to pay the whole thing …
I get very emotional when I think about you and your overwhelming generosity. Very few people can understand the relationship I have with my best friend Abby. She has been my constant companion for 13 years. The thought of losing her was more than I could bear. Abby suffered with stomach problems since 2009 and was being treated with medications daily and enemas once a month. I exhausted all my money caring for her, but that was not an option. …
First let me start this letter by saying thank you so much for what you have done for us.

I’m writing on behalf of my mother . . . We would like to thank you for your generous donation to Parkway Vets of Marmora, NJ.
