animal lovers.

Invest in CR!FR's present!

Invest in CR!FR's future!

We are yearning to achieve our big goal: to acquire a farmette where we'll have room to provide more rescued animals with more space.  A donation to the Cat Haven Fund would help us get that much closer.  Donation/loan of a farm also gladly accepted!

Our dream facility is: 10 acres or more, within an hour's drive of Springfield, VA, have a nice barn or 2, & have a decent dwelling for humans.  This will greatly help realize our mission.

KIDS & SCOUTS Can Help CR!FR:

Here are some ideas for events you could organize that would be a great help:

- a cat food, cat toy &/or fundraising drive ("Passing the Hat for Cats")

- a Wish List drive ( http://catsrule.org/donsponvol.html#wishlist )

- a foster home recruitment drive (we are especially in need of foster homes for adult cats,
. kittens, & moms with kittens. Any vet care needed is covered by CR!FR; fosters provide cat food,
. litter & pan, & lots of TLC).

- a "penny war" competition

- a yard sale, bake sale, or car wash for the cats

- a poster or arts 'n' crafts contest (a $3 entry fee, juried by
. you & a friend, prizes provided by CR!FR)

- a "Kitten Baby Shower" with a "Name the Kittens" contest &
. gifts/supplies for kittens & cats

- "Angel Trees" - needed supplies written on paper ornaments hang on a tree.  Participants chose an
. ornament & bring the item written on the ornament to put under the tree (CR!FR has all the
. supplies for this).  Can be done for any occasion/holiday: a Valentine's Tree, patriotic
. Independence Day tree, Thanksgiving tree, Christmas tree, etc.

CR!FR can create printed materials & a web page to help promote your effort & offer prizes.

Let us know if you have any ideas that you'd like to pursue or if you'd like to work on an idea/event for the cats.  We'd be glad to support/help your effort in any way possible!
