LAWS Shelter - 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls
AVAILABLE BARN CATS
Life on the streets can be tough. We currently have several cats in the shelter who for whatever reason are just not interested in life as a pampered indoor pet. These independent felines need a special type of placement.
We call these cats our "Barn Buddies". They will guard your property and help to naturally control your rodent population - In exchange, all they ask is for someone to provide them with regular meals, a warm and dry place to rest and someone to watch out for them.
Don't let the term "Barn Buddies" fool you, they're not picky. If you have a barn, warehouse, greenhouse or other outdoor building, will you consider giving one or more of these special cats an alternative to living in the shelter?
Do you like Pizza? Do you like to save money while donating to a worthy cause?

Special Mentions
A great big THANK YOU to Rachel and Jorja from Huntley Centennial Public School in Carp. They ran a donation campaign for a week and collected this mountain of stuff for LAWS. It covered the reception desk from end to end - poor Tubby (the temporary office cat) had nowhere to hang out so he settled for cuddles instead. Well done girls!
Congratulations to SMITHS FALLS VETERINARY SERVICES on their recent Grand Re-Opening following their move to a new location on Lombard Street in Smiths Falls. Special thanks and appreciation for the donation LAWS has received from that event.
A great big THANK YOU goes out to Kendra Gibbons who had a table at the recent Community Yard Sale in Toledo to raise funds for us. Kendra's mom writes: "It was a big success with lots of enthusiasm from our little community and lots of people making donations even if they didn't make a purchase. Kendra was pleased to raise $161.50 (twice what she raised last year). " WTG Kendra! We REALLY appreciate your efforts.
LAWS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN - NEW SHELTER BUILD
Animal lovers Dave and Cathy Lindstedt helped launch the New Digs for LAWS capital campaign with a $5,000 donation at this year's 'Walk Your Paws for LAWS' Event. A further $5,000 which was raised that day, has helped launch LAWS on the road to its goal of $525,000 for the campaign.
The campaign has a $525,000 goal to either build a new shelter for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society or provide significant upgrades to its current location.
