The E-Newsletter of the Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals Out of the Cage! Summer 2008 - Volume 5: Issue 2 Welcome to our summers' end issue of Out of the Cage! We're delighted that it has indeed been a busy season — from Broadway to baseball, fashion-fundraising to feral cats — and our efforts to transform New York City into a no-kill community are gaining new supporters and creating new relationships as we move ahead. In this issue you'll read about some of the summers' exciting adoption events and our new free spay/neuter program for cats, funded by the PETCO Foundation. You'll read about some of the cats and dogs whose lives were saved thanks to the Picasso Veterinary Fund, and the organizations like Broadway Barks and Pet Fashion Week NYC, whose financial support is fueling the fund. You'll read about new training opportunities in the coming weeks for Alliance members, about an important new resource for shelter veterinary personnel from Maddie's Fund, and about our new NYC Feral Cat Initiative web site and e-newsletter, which we proudly launched this summer. We hope you'll join us next month at our all-important Adopt-A-Cat event at Madison Square Garden on the weekend of October 18–19. This is one of our most important adoption events of the year, because it's where hundreds of cats and kittens find new homes. We hope you'll plan to attend, and bring everyone you know who is even thinking about adopting a cat. There are so many cats and kittens who need homes, and I firmly believe that there are just as many homes that would benefit from having a cat or kitten! Please enjoy this issue of Out of the Cage! As always, if you have comments or questions about the newsletter, please e-mail me at info@animalalliancenyc.org. Best wishes,
Jane Hoffman President, Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals
