This past year, Cat Tales has rescued more than 900 cats, and over 1,000 were adopted in 2021.  Cat Tales experienced a very busy kitten season in 2022.  Just as they were hoping it was winding down, a large intake of even more youngsters occurred recently.

Currently, donations are needed to get the next 24 kittens fixed.  Please visit: https://www.venmo.com/u/Cat-Tales-1 or, go to the website, www.cattalesnh.org.  Your continued support is greatly appreciated.    All animals deserve a safe and caring home.
