Eloise's and her family have adopted several cats from Casey's House and young Eloise loves to write about them all. Goliath, their first Casey's House cat was featured in Eloise's first book which I also highly recommend. Her current book "Queen of Day, Queen of Night" is the story of the life and death of her beloved Mrs. Gaines. Truly an act of love from an exceptional child! I highly recommend it for cat lovers of all ages! Her release can be found below. A link can also be found on our website on our new "Best Reading" page.
***************************************************************************
Whiston Spirn Publications is proud to announce the launch of Eloise
Tuell's
latest book, Queen of Day, Queen of Night: The History of Mrs.
Gaines, in time
for Christmas. Eagerly awaited by all fans of the author's
first book (Meet Our
Cats, Blurb 2008), the sequel features the
extraordinary cat and Queen, Mrs.
Gaines. This story of life and death, of
mousy adventures and successors to the
throne, chronicles the life of Mrs.
Gaines and sets the scene for future volumes
in the series. A tribute to
Mrs. Gaines and a product of the love she
engendered, this heart-warming
book will appeal to cat lovers of all ages and to
anyone whose heart can be
moved by the inspiring story of this beloved pet.
It's a book release,
and you're invited -- check out my new book at Blurb:

Dear Friend of Casey’s House,
As I write this final newsletter for the year 2009 I am thinking about all that has transpired over this past year.
We have continued, with great success, our low cost spay/neuter program. This year, to date, we have provided spay/neuter services to 198 cats with another 25 scheduled for a December run! I wish to thank the wonderful staff at the Shenandoah Spay Neuter Clinic, without this wonderful facility our low cost spay/neuter program would not be possible.
Because of current economic events and the subsequent loss of homes for many cats our sanctuary facilities have been stretched to the limit. We are happy to announce that we have partnered with Darcy Swope to provide much needed space for these cats.
With our increased population our needs have also increased and your support is needed more than ever. You can support Casey’s House in a variety of ways:
We look forward to the upcoming year and know with help from our wonderful supporters that we will be able to continue our low cost spay/neuter program and to provide sanctuary for many of the old and hard to adopt cats in our region.
Together we can make this world a better place for all our feline friends! Thank-you for your support!
Sincerely,
Cindy Ingram

Dear Friend of Casey's House,
I am
excited to say that we are really rolling on our spay/neuter runs click here to make a donation to help keep us rolling!
We had 19 cats spayed/neutered this past Tuesday and
we already have our next run full! If you need a spot please email me at
info@caseyshouse.org
right away, we can always schedule an extra run!
There is a new
link on our website www.caseyshouse.org to the
10 Top
10 Lists For Cat Lovers, this is a wonderful
resource for cat lovers, it can help you find just about anything you need to
know about your feline companion! It a good book for you and as a present
for your fellow cat lover as well! Did I mention that the holidays are
just around the corner?
We are still working on a
aluminum can drive. We feel this would be a good way to not only help
raise funds for Casey's House but also help the environment! We will be
visiting the recycling plant soon to see what exactly would be involved so stay
tuned!
Please remember that you can donate to Casey's
House via the United Way! Our CFC number is 86714!
Thanks for your Support, together we end the sad consequences of
the cat over-population problem!

Dear Friend of Casey's House,
I am pleased to say that
despite a cold Autumn day we had a wonderful Blessing of the Animals day.
Father Michael blessed close to 30 animals, including a goat! Our rabies
clinic provided protection for 14 dogs and cats thanks to the Dr Frank of
Vettrek House Practice and her assistant Mia coming out on a cold windy
Saturday!
Please visit our website at www.caseyshouse.org
as I have recently updated it. There is now a link to explain who Casey
was. (People keep calling me "Casey" assuming that I named the organization
after myself!) There is also a link to Buckley's Story a new book recently
published, authored by Ingrid King. I highly recommend it, it is the story
of a cat that Ingrid adopted from Casey's House that like Casey, changed a
woman's life.
As always, we appreciate your support and
please do not forget to send pictures of your cats as we will be working on a
Casey's House calendar soon! To donate to our sanctuary or spay/neuter
efforts please click
here. I know that times are tight but please be
assured that your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in a
cat's life!

December 3, 2008 Dear Friend of Casey’s House,
We are
coming to the close of another year. I am pleased to say that our first year
running a spay/neuter program has been a resounding success! We have spayed and
neuter a little over 200 cats this year and we are still going strong. Eight are
scheduled for this week and our next run is in the process of being booked too!
We need your help to continue this important work!
With our first year
of spay/neuter programs has come a great deal of learning for us. It is for this
reason that we have made some changes to our program. We have new age and weight
limits for our spay/neuter program: males must be at least 10 weeks and 2.5
pounds and females must be at least 3 months and 3.5 pounds. These restrictions
will be strictly adhered to for the safety of our cats.
Our sanctuary
cats are doing well but we maintain a full house and sadly have to often turn
cats away for lack of space. We need more people willing to foster older cats
and people with acreage willing to be caretakers for feral cats. Casey’s House
pays for all vet costs for both of these programs. Please call the number noted
above or send Cindy an email if you are interested in helping cats in this
way!
We have accomplished much but much still needs to be done! A
donation
form and return envelope are enclosed; any donation no
matter the size would help us care for these wonderful cats! Tractor Supply in
Leesburg has agreed to allow us to put a donation box in their store,
donations can be dropped off during store hours. (On or about Dec 12 will we
be putting a donation box in the Winchester store as well!) Our wish
list is on the box and all of the items can be purchased at Tractor Supply if
you so choose. You can also support Casey’s House in a very fun way; Santa will
be at the Leesburg PETCO Dec 6 and Dec 13 for photos with your pets! All
proceeds will benefit Casey’s House, as does their "tree of hope".
We
wish you and your family very happy holidays and as always, a warm and grateful
meow from all the cats at Casey’s House! Sincerely, Cindy Ingram Founder Casey's
House, Inc. P.S. We are always looking for volunteers to work at the shelter!
Please call Cindy at 703-220-9965 if you are interested in volunteering!
