See You at the “Walk for Cats”!
Get your family or a group together for the annual Walk for Cats on Sunday,
May 2 in Highland Park in Geneseo! This fun two-hour event raises muchneeded dollars for cats in foster care. You can help by asking friends and family to sponsor you as a walker – find pledge forms at www.HearthsideCats.org
or call 243-0873. Simply collect your pledges and bring them to the event.
Walkers who collect $50 or more receive a Hearthside tee shirt. Sign-in begins
at 1:30 p.m. at the Depot in Highland Park. The walk begins at 2:00 – rain or
shine – and follows a one-mile course through picturesque Geneseo. Then we
all gather for pizza, photos and door prizes, and wrap up by 3:30. If you can’t
walk, consider sponsoring a walker, making a donation, or volunteering. If you
plan to bring a group, please call 243-0873 so that we have ample refreshments and tee shirts for everyone. Hope to see you there!
Sasha Gave Her
Offspring a Good Start
Sasha – a young, pregnant, homeless cat – decided to have her kittens
in an automotive garage. She
thought it was a safe place to raise a
family, but with cars coming and
going, the kittens – once active –
were at risk of getting run over and/
or exposed to hazardous chemicals.
Hearthside was contacted and
accepted Sasha and her five little
ones, all six of whom were black. At
the time they came into foster care,
the kittens were very sick and would
have died without veterinary treatment. But with proper care and nourishment, they recovered from their
illnesses and turned into sweet and
cuddly kitties, and were quickly
adopted. Sasha, however, is still feral
and is only sighted when she races
through her foster home. It will take a
lot of patience and nurturing before
she can be considered for adoption,
but her kittens are now safe and
sound and growing at their new
homes. Sasha, we hope, will eventual be ready to become someone’s
lifelong companion.
Italian Revelry at its Best!
Thank you to the 70+ people who attended our 16th annual Gourmet Italian
Dinner in February. In total we raised nearly $2,700 to help cats in foster care!
This year’s feast featured a wonderful range of Italian delicacies from Lynn

and pork roast. As always, this was a delightful and relaxing evening for our
guests, and a profitable one for the cats. We thank the following servers,
volunteers and supporters of the Gourmet Italian Dinner:

Kitty
Kompanions…
Matching Seniors with
Seniors
Launched in 2009, Hearthside’s “Kitty
Kompanions” program is taking
shape. The goal is to match calm
adult cats with senior citizens who
would enjoy the company of a kitty,
easily and cost-effectively. Hearthside
arranges for a placement, waives the
adoption fee, and provides basic pet
supplies. We may also offer to help
with routine veterinary expenses, if
this is a barrier to someone who
would otherwise benefit from having
a companion cat. A Hearthside volunteer is available to answer any ongoing questions. And in the event the
adopter can no longer care for the
cat, Hearthside will take the animal
back, regardless of the circumstances. If you or someone you know
is interested in adopting a cat
through the Kitty Kompanions program, please call 243-0873.
Three Good Reasons
to Name Hearthside
in Your Will
Creating a will is a very important
and personal endeavor. In a will we
identify loved ones and other individuals who will benefit from our estate,
as well as non-profit groups that are
meaningful to us. Here are the top
three reasons people name a nonprofit organization in their will:
• They believe in the mission.
• They’ve seen the mission at
work firsthand.
• They know the organization will
use their gift wisely.
And these are great reasons to consider naming Hearthside Cats in your
will. If you believe in our mission and
have seen it in action, just think of
the impact you can have on lives of
homeless cats by including us in
your will. Please consult with your
attorney or accountant before making any decisions regarding your
estate, to find an approach that best
meet your wishes and financial
needs.
Clip & Save!
It’s Craft Show Season Again!
Hearthside will soon be on the craft show circuit. Come see our whimsical cat crafts, lovingly made by a talented volunteer. And if you can
spare an hour or two to help at the booth, please let us know…it’s fun
and a great way to help the cats!

Maybe Sponsorship is For You
As a quiet, two-year-old girl tiger,
Sophie is ready to become
someone’s Kitty Kompanion.
Because Hearthside is a “no-kill” organization (we do not euthanize cats
except for extreme physical suffering or serious contagious disease), some
cats stay in foster care all of their lives. They usually have physical or behavioral conditions that make adoption difficult. Our solution for these special cats
is our Special Needs Program. This is an opportunity to financially support the
care of a cat who cannot easily be adopted. There is no minimum sponsorship
level or ongoing obligation. For a donation in any amount, you receive a
framed photo and biography of “your” cat. For donations of $80 or more, we
include address labels imprinted with the kitty’s picture. Hopefully one day the
right person will come along to adopt one of the Special Needs cats. But if not,
they will forever live in the care of their loving foster
caregivers. To see our Special Needs stories, visit
www.HearthsideCats.org and click on “sponsor a cat”.
Patchwork is a large adult male who displays his
grumpiness by biting or urinating outside of the litter
box. Due to his unpredictable behavior, Patchwork is an
unlikely candidate for adoption, and we are looking for
sponsors to help provide for his long-term care.

Health Corner
The Basics of Parasites
Adoption Corner!
Excerpts from Drs. Foster & Smith
(www.Drs.FosterSmith.com)
These adorable kitties are looking for a new
home! Like all of our adoptable cats, they
have tested negative for Feleuk/FIV, are
neutered or spayed, and current on
vaccinations and vet care.
Despite their diminutive size, parasites that affect felines are complex
creatures. Furthermore, both internal
and external parasites are very well
adapted to life in or on your cat.
Many intestinal worms and external
parasites can cause serious medical
conditions and deadly diseases.
Parasites defined
Basically, parasites are any organism
that derives nourishment by feeding
on or within another living animal. In
veterinary terms, all feline parasites
damage your cat’s health. More troubling is that some parasites can also
be transferred from your cat to
humans and other pets.
Mona is a mellow, nine-year-old grey tiger.
She likes being petted but is somewhat
independent, and would do well in a quiet
home.
Three-year-old Bambi is a quiet girl who
loves her naps. Grey, petite with tiny feet,
she gets along well with other cats and loves
to be cuddled.
Mona
JoJo is a gorgeous, long-haired black
female whose previous owner passed away.
Six years old, she is playful girl who enjoys
attention and being hugged.
Here are some examples of common
feline parasites:
Ear Mites
Mites can invade your cat’s ears,
spread to other areas of your cat’s
body, and infect other pets in your
home. Infected animals will scratch
around their ears and/or shake their
heads. In severe cases, the ear
canals will bleed. If left untreated permanent hearing loss can occur. To
kill mites in the ear, use an ear miticide. Your veterinarian should examine the ear to make sure the eardrum
is intact. A pyrethrin-based flea and
tick topical will also kill mites that
have spread over your cat’s body.
Toxoplasma gondii
This parasite causes toxoplasmosis.
T. gondii is spread via cat feces,
uncooked meat and raw goat milk.
In humans, toxoplasmosis can cause
abortion and congenital defects in
unborn children, so pregnant women
are advised to avoid litter box cleaning. T. gondii can also cause a serious, sometimes fatal, disease in children and adults. Signs of feline toxoplasmosis are nonspecific including:
fever, loss of appetite, depression,
and pneumonia. To help protect your
cat, do not feed her raw meat or
bones, allow her to scavenge in the
garbage, or hunt wild mice and birds.
Also, clean litter boxes daily and
Bambi
Please consider opening your heart and
home to one of these cats, or any of the
others that are in foster care. Visit
www.HearthsideCats.org for more
stories and photos.
JoJo
regularly wash them with boiling
water.
Heartworms
Transmitted via mosquitoes, heartworms spend their adult life in the
heart and large blood vessels connecting the heart and lungs. Signs of
heartworm disease include rapid
breathing, coughing, decreased
appetite, weight loss, and listlessness. Your veterinarian may test for
an active infection before prescribing
treatment. The best prevention program includes a heartworm preventive and reduced mosquito exposure.
Hookworms
These common intestinal parasites
cause serious disease including
severe diarrhea and anemia. Infection occurs via ingestion of the
3
larvae from contaminated soil, water
or feces; larval penetration of the
skin; or larval infection of the fetus.
Symptoms include pale gums,
weakness, stunted growth, emaciation, and dull and dry coats. To prevent infections, clean litter boxes
daily, prevent contact with infected
animals, and de-worm annually.
Hookworms can also infect humans.
Roundworms
The most common digestive tract
parasite, adult roundworms live in
the small intestine and absorb nutrients, interfere with digestion, and
can damage the intestinal lining.
Mild infestations often have no
symptoms, but severe cases are
often accompanied by thin, dull hair
coats, a pot-belly appearance,
Continued on page 4
Continued from page 3
anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Daily litter box cleaning
and annual de-worming help prevent
infection. Roundworms can also
infect humans.
Tapeworms
These flat, segmented worms live in
the small intestine and can grow up
to 20 inches long. Symptoms include
abdominal discomfort, nervousness,
vomiting, and convulsions. Active
segments around the anus may
cause your cat to lick or “scoot”
across the floor. Prevention relies on
effective flea and lice control on both
your cat and in her environment.
Feline Scabies (Notoedric Mange)
Female mites burrow into a cat’s
skin to lay eggs, which hatch, grow
into adults, mate, and start the
process over. Symptoms include hair
loss; itching of the ears, face, eyelids, and neck; and thickened, wrinkled, crust-covered skin. To prevent
notoedric mange, eliminate contact
with stray or infected cats and only
use boarders and grooming facilities
with strict sanitation standards.
Coccidia
These one-celled parasites thrive in
the intestinal tract. Most cats and kittens develop a natural immunity as
they age. However, this immunity
permits adult cats to carry coccidia
and spread this contagious parasite
in their feces. Immuno-suppressed
kittens and cats suffering with coccidia often have mild to severe diarrhea. In some cases, vomiting, loss
of appetite, dehydration, and worse
may occur. Prevent the spread of
coccidia with strict sanitation and
daily litter box cleaning.
Treatment of parasites
Preventing a parasitic infection
requires strict sanitation standards,
insect and rodent control, and annual veterinary exams. Your veterinarian can prescribe or recommend a
variety of de-wormers, insecticides,
or medications should parasites
infect your cat. But one of the best
ways to prevent infestation is to
keep your cat indoors, where she
has minimal exposure to parasite
risk.

Recycling Helps Our Foster Cats
A Touching Tribute…
Dear Hearthside,
I just wanted to write you a letter
telling you how much I love my
Hearthside cat, Kama. She was
adopted in 2002. In 2003 I was diagnosed with a rare disease and spent
six weeks in the hospital…and then
spent the following year confined to
my bed. During that time Kama
never left my side, other than to eat,
drink and use the litter box. Then she
was right back in bed with me. Her
loyalty and faithfulness throughout
that difficult time would rival that of
any dog. I am very thankful to have
her. And of all the pets I’ve had, she
is the one that has the fondest place
in my heart…
Sincerely,
A grateful adopter
“Littered”
with Paw Points
Thanks to all of you to collect Fresh
Step Paw Points® codes for Hearthside. We redeem these for litter

Step products, please send us the
Paw Points codes from speciallymarked boxes and pails of litter. Be
sure to include the printed Paw Points
code from inside the package. The
code is unique to each package and
contains letters and numbers.
Thanks for keeping us in litter!

The Cats’ Wish List
In addition to wishing for a forever
home, our foster caregivers need
everyday items for the care and

Hearthside…it’s fun and the cats
directly benefit. If you have items
to donate please forward to P.O.
Box 282, Geneseo, NY 14454 or
call 243-0873 to make arrangements. Here are our most common
needs:
- Purina “Naturals” dry cat food
- Friskies canned cat food
- Cardboard scratching pads
- Cat litter (all types)
- Cat toys
- Liquid dish soap
- First class stamps
Hearthside does not sell, rent or loan its mailing or e-mail list to other individuals, businesses or
