We would like to give a special thank you and shout out to Texas A&M University of San Antonio’s PR students for helping with social media posts for our organization all last month to promote our events. With their help, we received lots of engagement and successful turnouts at our events. Thank you to all students who participated in helping your local cat organization!

One of our close friends and long-time supporters lost her nearly 16 year old cat, Molly Talerico Sumpter, May 16th from bladder cancer. Molly was adopted from ASPCA Houston in 2008 where she survived Hurricane Ike. Molly would later make her way to Virginia where she would endure Hurricane Irene in 2010. Her signature purr was like a motor of a Harley-Davidson, making Molly a hurricane in her own right. She then returned to her home state and lived the rest of her years in San Antonio.

Molly brought so much joy to her family. She was very chatty and loved to tell her paw-rents and grand-paw all about her day and what her siblings Fredo and Pandy did. She enjoyed her cat tunnel, empty boxes and brown bags. She even played fetch and baseball with crumbled pieces of paper. In lieu of flowers, donations in Molly’s honor were made to our organization by those who loved Molly.

May you Rest In Peace Molly.

Dragonfly Veterinary Services is participating in the 12th annual Feral Fix Challenge. This is a global event by Alley Cat Rescue that encourages and invites veterinarians to participate in TNR surgeries at low to no cost. These surgeries also include providing rabies vaccines. A total of 150,000 community cats have benefited from this global event and we are honored to partner with Dr Bridgeman and her team to participate in this worthy event!

Thank you Petco for providing 300 free surgeries for us. We are one of the fortunate grant recipients through Petco Love, and we took the opportunity to provide free spay/neuter surgeries to our community. We appreciate the San Antonio Humane Society for being our partner clinic in this grant. Now there are 300 less cats who are on the street contributing to overpopulation!

Our delicious pot luck luncheon for our Trap Loan and Helpline team took place on May 20th and was hosted by our Trap Loan Coordinator, Marte Kellogg and our Trap Loan Volunteers. Everyone who came out had a wonderful time visiting and enjoying great food!

We are excited to continue to have our volunteers and couldn’t do what we do without them.

In person classes were held at select public libraries in honor of National Pet Week, May 7th – 13th. Pictured below are Dagne Fisher, Emily Garcia, Yvonne and Daphne Saldivar at the Pruitt Public Library. Our educational team may have more opportunities for in person classes. Thank you, Yvonne, for presenting and making this possible!

Happy Father’s Day to all dads out there including Cat & Dog dads. We hope your day includes your loved ones showing you just how much you mean to them. One of our favorite things about cat dads is their initiative to make their cat’s life a little easier. Whether it’s building them a cat house or keeping up with the latest technology that best serves them. We hope you get lots of purrs and slow blinks from your cat thanking you for all that you do for them.
