The Greatest of nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.


Mahatma Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated."


This year the TWA animal committee (Arlene, Nancy,Kathi,Parivash, Jan and Karen) is focusing their effort on dog and cat rescue. They selected Michigan Animal Rescue League, a no-kill shelter located in Pontiac and TigerLily Cat Rescue located in Sterling Hts.
The two non-profit organizations have requested the following:
Michigan Animal Rescue League: RED LETTER ITEMS: These are the most immediate needs.
Cat and dog food- wet and dry, Cleaning supplies : bleach, detergent, mops, paper towels, etc.
Also needed—Kitty litter, small beds, choke chains and collars in all sizes, small live traps, dog and cat toys, plastic dog houses, blankets and towels, dog biscuits, Pet Supply Plus, PetSmart and Petco gift cards, Staples gift cards.
Tigerlily Cat Rescue requests cat items above and in addition they request things like carpet squares for cages and office supplies.
They will be collecting items and delivering them in the near future.  Another post will follow.

No Kill Rescue

Kitten in a hammock
Today, Donna and Edith headed south to Madison Heights to visit the Animal Welfare Society with a check for $250.  This organization started almost thirty years ago in a house of a person who loved animals and felt a deep responsibility to house them, care them to health, and give them up for adoption. 
Through the years, with donations from the public, five years ago, they moved to their own headquarters on John R.
Playroom for cats and kittens
Unlike the Humane Society, Animal Welfare Society never euthanizes a cat or a dog.  An un-adoptable cat will spend its life in a large playroom with its own kind.  The doggies are not that lucky.  They stay in cages.
Every Saturday from noon to three, dogs in foster homes (waiting to be adopted) are on display.
