Be an Angel for the Homeless Cats and Dogs in Lakewood!

Spread holiday cheer and help a homeless pet in need! Honor your own furry angel by donating $5.00 to the Citizens Committee for the Lakewood Animal Shelter (CCLAS) Angel Trees. CCLAS will add an ornament with your pet's name at the Angel Tree location of your choice, the Lakewood Public Library or Pets General Store. Donations can be sent via PayPal, mailed in via a brochure from the Lakewood Public Library, or made in person at Pets General Store.

All donations are used to help with adoption efforts, spay and neuter costs, foster care programs and improving the general living conditions at the Lakewood Animal Shelter.

The underlying mission of CCLAS is to improve and protect the lives of Lakewood's companion pet population. By providing volunteer and financial resources, CCLAS aides in the adoption of abandoned animals, including, but not limited to, cats and dogs, and aides in their well being during their stay at the Lakewood Animal Shelter.

"Skinny" Minnie

Sadly, we lost another foster kitty today, "Skinny" Minnie.

She was kindly fostered by a CCLAS supporter for the past month. From what we could tell, Minnie had a rough life from being both ear-tipped and declawed, although we know she spent her last month in a loving home, enjoying the company of her foster's dog, Guinness. She was placed into foster care because she was a malnourished senior cat, weighing only 4lbs, 14oz. She had a nice holiday weekend with her temporary family and had a new furever home lined up. Unfortunately she passed unexpectedly today while the foster was at work. She came home to find her curled up peacefully in her litter box. Feel free to share your gratitude and condolences with Minnie's foster below.

Foster home needed for littermates ASAP

CCLAS is desperately looking for a foster who can help nurse Thelma & Louise back to good heath. Both have fatty liver disease, from being abandon on the streets of Lakewood too long. CCLAS will cover their medical cost - daily duties include force feeding in a quiet comfortable environment. Currently they are living in a board member's small bathroom. Can you help? Leave a message below or email CCLASpets@gmail.com.

Prays for littermates Thelma & Louise

Sadly our favorite sisters, Thelma & Louise, are gravely ill.

Just a few days after their adoption, the new family felt something was very wrong with the girls when they stopped eating. Fortunately the new owners reached out to CCLAS, although we were stumped at first by their persistent symptoms, we sought the expertise of the vets at the Lakewood Animal Hospital. The girls were both admitted yesterday, suffering from Fatty Liver Disease, after starving from being abandoned on the streets too long. While their prognosis does not look good, please keep the sisters in your thoughts and prays, and CCLAS, with the Lakewood Animal Hospital, will do our best to help them.
