Shelter auction was a big success !
Posted on December 21, 2011 by Marlies in Sponsors & Friends | Comments Off
Shelter Manager Marlies Tiepel writes: “We made $15,000 at the Shelter Auction on December 10! This was the most successful fundraising event ever for the Shelter. And actually we made more because a Dutch animal welfare fund, Dierenlot (www.dier.nu), doubled the first $1,750 we raised that evening, so we raised $16,750 ($15,000 + $1,750)!
We sold 110 dinner tickets for a fantastic Indonesian meal. The chefs were Rosita Paiman, Boudewijn Scholts and Jerry van de Weteringe. The auction was organized by Annemarie Rozendal and she did a great job!
With the money we made that evening we going to build a totally new cage for the dogs!”

Cat litter crisis averted
Posted on March 29, 2011 by Marlies in Sponsors & Friends | Comments Off
The Bonaire Animal Shelter would like to thank all the generous supporters who sought out and donated cat litter to help keep the Shelter’s cat privies pretty. The donations were enough to stave off a real litter shortage crisis until relief arrived. With the help of Tropical Flamingo, the Shelter is now purchasing pallets of 50 pound bags of litter on a regular shipping basis. Thanks again for all the donations and a big thank you to Tropical Flamingo.
FACTOID: The Shelter uses 150 pounds of cat litter every week at a cost of about $45 per week! (Monetary donations to help defray the costs of the new purchase plan are always appreciated.)
