Meaningful Gift Ideas for People Who Have Everything

Wouldn't it be great if every gift you bought this season could affect someone beyond its recipient in a positive way? Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic has two options that will delight your loved ones and allow you to support a service that's crucial to the well-being of Connecticut's cats and dogs.

1. Make a wine lover happy with a lovely bottle (or gift pack) of BenefitWines.com's organic wines, with a percentage of the proceeds donated to Nutmeg's FeralCare, Inc. Learn more and order here!

2. Buy lights in honor of a loved one's living or deceased pet now through January 1! At only $5 per light, the Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic's Annual Memorial Tree is a beautiful way to remember the animals that mean and have meant so much to us -- and to give to animals now and in the future. There's still time to attend the tree-lighting tonight, from 5 - 7 at 25 Charles St. in Stratford!

Cat of the Week: Anson

Anson came to us when he was six weeks old. He and his sister, Orangina, were both very sick feral kittens. For awhile we thought both Anson and Orangina would lose their eyesight. The good news is they didn't, and were easily socialized into loving and playful pets!

Anson is full of energy and love. He loves spending time with people. He also gets along well with other cats.  Anson has big double paws that you can see in the photo above.

Orangina was adopted this weekend, but Anson is still looking for his "furever home." To meet Anson, please visit us during our adoption hours, 11am - 3pm every Saturday. We are located at 2037 Foxon Road in North Branford. For more information on the adoption process and fees, please visit our website here.

We're the Branford Compassion Club and we dedicate everything we can to homeless felines!

If you live in the Branford area, you may have seen us around town, adopting kittens at All Pet's Club, helping you and your neighbors rescue/trap ferals, fundraising for our cause, or any number of other cat-related activities we participate in.

This blog will be a chronicle of things we do, events we hold, and cats and kittens that need or have found homes! We hope you will take the journey with us! Maybe you will find that you love it so much you would like to volunteer with us!
