What a way to end the Tour For Life. Our last stop in Syracuse, NY was our finish line for Route 2. It was a beautiful day, sunny and hot. We were working with Wayward Paws and the Tompkins County SPCA. Both of the groups brought some cats with them. All the cats were sitting comfortably in the air-conditioning waiting for their turn to find their permanent home. We also had a couple of other groups join us on this day. There was a Basenji Rescue, French Bulldog Rescue Network, and a Pug Rescue. We had some live entertainment with some volunteers who also doubled as musicians. There was quite a crowd all day. People were stopping by, and if they couldn’t adopt, they were willing to donate to the local groups, which is always helpful in every way. By the end of the day, there were 6 kittens and 1 cat who found their new homes.

As the event was ending, we were packing up the unit to make our way back home. We had to make sure everything was secure since we had a few extra passengers for the ride home. Wayward Paws and Tompkins County SPCA are groups we work with on a normal basis. They bring us cats and kittens so we can put them up for adoption and find them loving homes. Both groups brought us some animals to bring with us to our Port Washington shelter. On our final day, we were able to rescue 67 felines, 26 cats and 41 kittens.

What a great way to end this Tour For Life. We believe this was the most successful one to date. Let’s hope next year will be even bigger.

Glad to be home
