WISHLIST WEDNESDAY!

RAWL receives no institutional funding/support; we're completely reliant on the generosity of the Rota military community. Below are the items we need most this week.

We are DANGEROUSLY low on wet cat food. With the weather turning hot, it's crucial we have enough wet cat food for all our residents, to make sure they're getting both proper nutrition and hydration (fun fact: even with plenty of fresh water, cats still rely on wet food for hydration! So it's incredibly important to have wet food available for them). So if you're able to donate some wet food, we would be incredibly appreciative! A few of our cats tend to digest the shredded wet food better but we gratefully accept any brand/type sold at the commissary!

Thank you for your continuing support!

VERY SPECIAL FOSTER OPPORTUNITY!

Every so often a dog or cat comes along who needs a very special family to give them the life they deserve and Luffy is definitely one of those animals!

Luffy has ataxia, which basically means he can't walk. He's a normal cat in pretty much every aspect except that one and he has so much joy and love to give that we believe he'd make a wonderful friend for the right family. His care needs are a bit different from a regular cat but not excessively so. According to his current foster mom:

"Luffy is a sweet angel baby and he can do no wrong! He sleeps for like 16hours a day and when he's awake he's a chill guy. Chews on his stick, plays with a ball, eats some kibble, rest and repeat! Luffy is super easy all things considering. Like a normal cat he wants endless scratches behind the ear and under the chin. He likes to observe his household and wants to supervise! Like a human baby he has meal times, potty breaks, and play time on a routine to make sure a he's happy and healthy! In a caregiver Luffy needs someone with lots of love to give, and enough time to help him for breakfast midday lunch and dinner! A few times a day he needs to be put inside the litter box and in front of his food bowl and then he can take over! When he's done in the bathroom or eating he likes to sit outside and bird watch, or lay on the couch and groom himself, or maybe sit of the floor and play and just watch life happen in the home. But most of the day he sleeps."

Unfortunately his foster family is about to PCS and it would be too stressful to put Luffy through that much travel so we're looking for a new family to help him live his best life! While fostering, all veterinary care is covered by RAWL; you'd be responsible for his food/litter/etc. and care but we'll pay any and all vet bills.

If you're interested in opening your home to this wonderful little guy, please send us an email at [email protected] to arrange a meeting.

Thank you!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR INDEPENDENCE FEST!

RAWL has signed up to sell cotton candy at Independence Fest on July 2nd but we need some serious help with staffing our booth!

The schedule for the day is as follows:
Non-cooking setup: 1000-1330
[security sweep]
Food prep: 1500-1700
The event itself: 1700-2300
Clean-up: 2300-0100

If you are available to help, please comment here! Let us know when and for how long you're able to assist so we can get a better idea of how the day will run!

Thank you so much!

Happy Friday everyone! We still have quite a few open spots for tomorrow's volunteer orientation and we're definitely needing volunteers! Summer is a difficult season for RAWL; travelling and other activities means it can be hard for us to find people willing to come help take care of the animals and without volunteers, there's no way for us to give our dogs and cats the time and attention they deserve!

If you're interested in becoming a volunteer, please consider attending tomorrow's orientation or any of the upcoming dates! You can sign up HERE: https://signup.com/client/invitation2/secure/5211185500110/false #/invitation

Thank you so much for your continued support!

WISHLIST WEDNESDAY!

RAWL is entirely dependent on donations to keep functioning, which is why we post this list every Wednesday; the generosity of the Rota military community is the only way we're able to continuing providing the best life possible for the animals in our care.

This week we especially need wet cat food. The photo below is pretty much what we're down to and with the hot weather coming, making sure the cats have wet food available is incredibly important, as it helps keep them hydrated. So if at all possible, please consider donating some! RAWL has a donation box right outside our front gate (shaped like a green dog house) so donations can be left at any time!

Thank you again so much for your continued support!
