Three Star Pet Sitting Services
I will be using this blog to let clients know about pet related events happening in and around my service area, and also to notify them of when I won't be available for pet sitting and dog walking.
Please note, I take care of pets in their home. I do not take animals into my home.

Christmas cat food drive and fundraiser
There were approximately 60 cats in residence this past spring and as of December there are still 30.
I’m coordinating a food drive and fundraiser. The cats’ needs are mostly food, litter, vet care and medication, and I’ve asked Judy Wilson, a friend of Gerri's and one of the caregivers, for a list of things they need. I can pick the food up from anyone in east Toronto to Guildwood and give it to Judy who goes out to Grimsby once or twice a week to help. Here is what they need:
• Gift cards. They can be Mastercard, Visa or to any grocery stores, Canadian Tire (they sell cat food) PetSmart etc.
• Food: They eat Friskies the most. Pate is the most popular though some of the shreds like turkey and cheese are popular too. They also like Fancy Feast. Basically, pretty much anything is fine.
• Paper towels
I’ve also set up an Amazon wishlist, so if you buy something from there it will be shipped directly to me:

Here is our Go Fund Me fundraiser:

And of course, the cats need homes. While there are 30 lucky cats who have new homes there are 30 that need fosters or permanent homes. The cats are all adults so you wouldn’t need to deal with any of the kitten craziness.
Happy holidays to everyone and thanks for helping!

I think a lot of people would love to help out and I’d like to coordinate a food drive and fundraiser. The cats’ needs are mostly food, vet care and medication, and I’ve asked Judy Wilson, a friend of Gerri's's and part of the cats' caregivers, for a list of things they need. I can pick the food up from anyone in east Toronto to Durham and give it to Judy who goes out to Grimsby once a week to help. Here is what they need:
Gift cards. They can be Mastercard, Visa or to any grocery stores, Canadian Tire (they sell cat food) PetSmart etc.
As I’m typing this I think it would be great if we could get gift cards to gas stations for Judy since it’s such a long weekly drive for her. When she goes out there she is generally on the road 2 hours each way and must be spending a fortune on gas.
Food: They eat Friskies the most. Pate is the most popular though some of the shreds like turkey and cheese are popular too. They also like Fancy Feast. And just 4 cups of Meow Mix per day. Temptations and the Purina Friskies treats are popular. Also, Dollarama has large cans of Pet Select cat food that they love...the ones that are a dollar, not the $1.50 ones which are organic. Purina Complete Cat Chow is good, Kirkland from Costco and pretty much any other kibble. They generally mix a few up.
There is currently a Go Fund Me set up for Gerri. Originally, it was set up to raise money for a drug to treat her tumour that wasn’t covered in Ontario, but it’s now being used for the cats. If you would like to donate through it, here is the link:
https://www.gofundme.com/Support-for-Gerris-family
To avoid the percentage that Go Fund Me takes, you can also send donations to Judy via etransfer and PayPal to judithawilson@hotmail.com and she will get them to CCC. She can also provide her address if someone wants to mail a cheque.
To stay up to date with the cats, please “like” the page on Facebook:

If you are thinking of adopting or fostering, let me know and I’ll pass the message on to Judy. If you can help in any way, please let me know. If you can share this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading. Lee
