What has saving more cats meant to you?

    Hi Friends,

    You might have already received this email in your box,  but we wanted to be sure everyone has an opportunity to contribute and share their story.

    So many of you joined the animal welfare community at a time when only 1 out of every 4 cats that entered a shelter would leave alive. Today, more than 8 out of every 10 cats that enter a shelter in the US will return to their home or be adopted. 3.6 million souls were saved on your watch during this campaign alone!
    We're planning a big celebration of the Million Cat Challenge and the professionals that make this movement possible (you!) and we'd like to hear in your words what it means to you to be closing out another year of saving more cats than ever before.

    For many, we can imagine you'll raise a glass around your holiday table and toast the kitten lives saved through foster and ringworm programs, or the FIV and URI cats your shelter was able to transfer in. For others, you might include on your list of gratitudes the things you didn't have to do because there was finally a better way, another option that didn't include euthanizing a healthy cat or kitten. 

    We want to hear what this feels like and what it means to you personally. How has sparing millions of feline souls changed your life? 

    Here's how you can share: 

    • Email your story to: allthecats@millioncatchallenge.org
    • Record an audio clip on your cell phone and email us! (Don't be afraid to ask us how. We'd love to help!)
    • Send in a video! You can take a short video right from your phone or in a Zoom or Teams room. 

    If you're able to contribute, we'd love to have your contributions by Monday, November 29th. If you have any questions, or want to contribute but require some additional time, please don't hesitate to reach out. 

    Thank you in advance!
