Dear [name],
Each year, thousands of terrific cats, dogs and small animals, through no fault of their own, need the care of the Ottawa Humane Society. Their circumstances and stories are varied: some were abandoned by owners who can't, or chose not to provide care, while others were rescued or removed from abusive situations. Other animals were left alone when an owner died, or moved away, while hundreds of others wandered away from home and became lost. Regardless of how these animals come to us, your support helps us give them a second chance at a happy life.
Thanks to you, we were able to find new, forever homes for thousands of animals in 2010. These happy endings motivate and inspire us to continue on in our sometimes difficult work. We want to share with you a few of last year's most memorable adoption stories — and thank you again for everything you've done to help these animals and others in our community.

Help Stressed Cats |
 A scary new environment, full of strange sounds and smells can be terrifying for a cat. When cats are scared they try to appear as small as possible, and they shrink and cower in the back of their kennels. A cat who is scared is less likely to be adopted into a loving home, and sadly, stress is a major cause of disease and death in shelter cats.
To help reduce the fear and stress, the OHS provides hide and perch boxes so a cat can retreat to a safe cubby and perch to see what is going on. The box goes home with the cat upon adoption to ease transition to the new home.
 One hide and perch box will provide a cat safety, security, and a calm stay at the OHS, helping to ensure a new life in a loving home.
There are so many stressed cats in our overcrowded shelter. Keep 15 cats healthy for only $25.
$1,600 buys 1,000 hide-and-perch boxes
$250 buys 156 hide-and-perch boxes
$100 buys 62 hide-and-perch boxes
$75 buys 46 hide-and-perch boxes
$25 buys 15 hide-and-perch boxes
