Donate Funds
FOPAS is a 501 (C3) organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. Last year the shelter spent over $60,000 in vet bills to care for our animals. Our total operations cost for 2007 was $148,526. These funds came from donations and fundraising efforts by dedicated volunteers and concerned citizens.

Donate Supplies
If you are unable to donate financially, the shelter is always in need of supplies.
Have you seen our lost girl?
We are sad to report that Cleo is missing, last seen on Thursday in the vicinity of 105th & Garfield. 
The good news is, she is smart, friendly and was wearing her ID tags. Like all FOPAS alums, Cleo is also microchipped. The bad news is our weather is turning for the worse and we are all worried about this great girl. Cleo, is missed by her family and they want her home safe and sound! We don't want anything to happen to our wonderful friend. If you have seen her, please contact FOPAS immediately. Thank you for your help!
In Remembrance
Our Friend, Scratchy With sadness we share the loss of Scratchy and extend 
condolences to her foster mom, Kristy, and all who loved her. Isn't it amazing how a little 6-month-old kitten can give so much love and affection in such a short amount of time? They say animals already know life's lessons about love and living a good life, so they don't have to stay as long. It doesn't make it any easier to let them go, though. Thank you, Scratchy. You are missed and we'll keep you in our hearts until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.

Pets of the Week
Marshmallow
This little American Eskimo gal is a real 
treat! Although she plays a little shy at first, Marshmallow looooves attention once she knows you are a friend. What would she love most of all? Your lap to lounge on, of course! Sweet Marshmallow enjoys other dogs at the shelter but can't figure out why she's there. Here she is on the lookout for her forever family. Adopt Marshmallow and make your Home SWEET Home!
Checkers
We're not playing games, here, Checkers is 
an adorable Torti seeking her forever home. This lovely lapcat was trapped outside a volunteer's apartment and is so grateful to have met her FOPAS friends. She tells us she likes other cats and really likes it when you scratch behind her ears. That's it, right there... Contact FOPAS today. You will lose your marbles when you meet Checkers! (No, we couldn't help ourselves.)
Holiday Fare
Ohhh the weather outside is frightful - But FOPAS stockings are so delightful - Thanks to Katie for the glitter and glue - And generous donors, our strays really THANK YOU!
FOPAS strays are nice - not naughty - just ask Santa! Please share some ho-ho-holiday cheer by donating funds, goodies and stocking stuffers for our lovable cats and dogs while they patiently await their forever families. It will do your heart good.
Purrs and Tail Wags !!!
Purrs, Tail Wags & Happy Howlidays go to Anne & Tom for their generous assistance with the holiday postcards and to the awesome students in Mrs. Van Loh's 4th grade class at Union Chapel (shown below), who donated a variety of supplies to support our strays. 
Lots of Purrs & Tail Wags also go to Megan and the wonderful elves at Clay-Platte Montessori School for helping Santa deliver goodies to FOPAS - two weeks in a row! Megan and her parents, Katy & Greg (shown in the photo below), delivered fantastic items such as food, treats, leashes and blankets for the cats and dogs in our care. Of course, 
Nilla was happy to personally thank Megan for being such a sweet friend. Nilla has one more howliday wish - a forever family of her very own. In the meantime, Purrs, Tail Wags & Happy Howlidays to all!

Happy Tails !!!
We know they were just adopted on Friday, but we couldn't wait to share this adorable photo of 
Prince Albert & Queen Victoria (foreground) in their new Royal Palace! Trying to keep a low profile, they are now named Gus & Ginger, with Gus his usual handsome and playful self, and beautiful Ginger always giving love and affection. Their new family reports, "They are everything that we dreamed of and more," to which Gus & Ginger replied, "We get a new family with kids of our very own?! YAY!!" Holiday wishes do come true. Our thanks and congratulations to this beautiful new family!
And they lived Happily Ever After...
