Welcome to my personal page for The Real Housepets of the Saving Pets Challenge
I’m fundraising for Animal Friends Alliance, a nonprofit that’s been saving lives and spreading love since 2006. What started as two separate rescues—Fort Collins Cat Rescue & Spay/Neuter Clinic and Animal House Rescue and Grooming—became one fabulous force for good in 2020. Now they’re an adoption-guarantee shelter and affordable spay/neuter clinic helping animals in Northern Colorado and beyond.
I work as the Community Pet Resources Manager, where our programs help 850 animals each year receive lower cost spay/neuter assistance, 1200+ outdoor cats and kittens receive care and services, and where we distribute over 60,000 pounds of free supplemental pet food to communtiy members in need. Your donation to our organization helps support hundreds of animals each year stay in their loving homes where they are healthy and happy :)
I’m helping them raise $200,000 during the Saving Pets Challenge, and I’d love your support. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your donation helps animals find homes, families, and second chances.
Join me in supporting this amazing cause—and let’s give these Real Housepets the spotlight they deserve.
TNR SUNDAY SURGEYR DAY!
This past March, we had all hands on deck with 3 staff and 6 volunteers out trapping to make a BIG impact in reducing the number of cats born in the spring. With our AMAZING veterinarian Dr. Payne, and a team of skilled vet techs we were off to the races and fixed 57 CATS!!! The special additional time for staff to work on a day off is all because we knew we were making a big difference that day! YAY TEAM!
Kitten Cup
Our lower cost spay/neuter program (PAL+) helps 850 animals each year with affordable surgeries. This little one came from a situation where the owner felt they couldn't provide it, along with it's 4 other siblings the care it needed. We worked together to build a trusting relationship to have this family surrendered into our care and go to an amazing foster. We were able to continue helping the owners fix their 10 other cats and 4 dogs in the home, helping to support less animals being born in the future without homes!
Intake Assistant!
Many times during the season our team is faced with finding sick kittens. This sweetie came with 9 other siblings - all with eye infections and Calicivirus. We know getting trapped and poked with a needle isn't anyways favorite day, but this kitten had NO problem hanging out with us and making sure we were documenting everything correctly :) Best kitten assistant we've ever had!
Hates to Love the Squeezes
Our shelter helps over A THOUSAND cats and kittens each year, and they aren't always super healthy when they come in! Happy Meal was trapped by a local resident and needed to spend some time in quarantine to be monitored for her health. Our amazing team made sure she was fed, cared for, medicated, and weighed every day. She was not super happy to be around people when she first came, but I was ECSTATIC to see her come around and like to be cuddled after all! Once her quarantine was up she went to an amazing foster home and will be available for adoption very soon! YAY Happy Meal!
Socializing Kittens
Check out Myrick, Rhett, and Link - three kittens we trapped and worked on socializing after they got fixed and vaccinated. Took a little bit of time, but scroll to see Myrick in all her happy/lovely glory :) :)
Hank Dog
Another year with Hank Dog! We adopted him from the Alliance in 2022, and we're so thankful to have found our best friend :)
