2008 Accomplishments
Our 5th year at FieldHaven was another successful year for the kitties in Lincoln and surrounding areas. We are proud of the work we're doing and we couldn't do it without your support. We adopted 103 adults and 156 kittens/teenagers to new forever homes this year; and 53 ferals were spayed and neutered and are living productive lives as Rodent Raiders. In addition, Our Community Assistance Team (CAT) assisted the community in finding homes for an additional 29 Courtesy Listing cats.
Our Spay/Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) assisted the community in neutering 225 males and spaying 232 females through October, and the totals for the year are not even in yet. As a result of this effort, approximately 1,299 unwanted kittens will not be born in 2009. Keep in mind, that this is in addition to our FieldHaven adoptables, who are all spay and neutered prior to being adopted.

More Success Stories
Even FieldHaven volunteers find themselves falling in love with that "special" kitty - That's right! Joy Smith, Co-founder of FieldHaven, adopted a FieldHaven kitty over the holidays. In Joy's case, her adoption was of a kitty that was rescued on Christmas Eve 2003 and later found a perfect home. Unfortunately, his mom passed away this summer, and Casey and his siblings came to FieldHaven. By Christmas, Casey and his siblings were all in a loving home for the holidays. Read their story
What is iGive?
If you do any internet shopping, please sign up for iGive, and have a percentage of your internet shopping dollars donated to FieldHaven. This is truly the easiest way to donate to FieldHaven.

Then whenever you go shopping on the internet, iGive automatically links the partnership sites and let's you know if the site you are visiting is a FieldHaven partner. If you purchase anything, the percentage is automatically tallied into FieldHaven's donation account! It couldn't be easier!
And, it's surprising how many stores and shopping websites are iGive partners, such as eBay, LL Bean, FTD, Staples, PetSmart, Travelocity, Fredericks of Hollywood, JC Penny, Coldwater Creek - Over 700 in all!
