We need pet sponsors so we can provide sanctuary of our existing critter population for a long, happy life. We realize that not everyone is able to adopt another companion, but sponsorship is another way to help.

We need volunteers to help with special projects (like fencing and putting up solar panels) as well as cattery and kennel helpers.

We need donations from our wish list.

If you are in the Indian Wells Valley, you can recycle your CRV beverage bottles and cans, household glass bottles, aluminum cat food cans, as well as newspaper and cardboard at Golden Empire Salvage at 811 E. Ridgecrest Blvd. and ask them to credit it to the Tulgey Wood Critter Refuge account. (If you don't already have a designated favorite charity.)

If you are going to be in the Lake Isabella Area, you can recycle just about everything at Thomas Refuse. Make sure to ask them to put it on the Tulgey Wood Critter account!

We would like teachers to use Kind News in their classroom curriculum.

We would like folks interested in helping feral (wild) cats step up and form a local grass-roots group interested in doing the right thing (Trap-Neuter-Release).

And last, but not least, we need all of you kind people to assist with memberships and donations so that we can expand our efforts to address the pet overpopulation crisis and work with the city and county in this area to establish a humane, cost-effective, and mutually beneficial solution between the stray and unwanted cats and the communities in which they live.
