Animal shelters across the country are once again teaming up with NBC and Telemundo stations to find loving homes for pets in need with the Clear The Shelters pet adoption and donation campaign.

The stations’ month-long “Adopt & Donate” effort will feature virtual pet adoptions and make it easy for people to donate online to participating shelters and rescues. The campaign runs from Aug. 23 through Sept.19, 2021.

Clear The Shelters is an annual, nationwide pet adoption campaign that is spearheaded by NBCUniversal Local, a division of NBCUniversal. Every year, NBCUniversal Local’s NBC and Telemundo owned stations, plus affiliated stations, partner with animal shelters and rescues in their communities to host Clear The Shelters events.

Hope for Hercules!

Meet Hercules! 

In June of 2021, we posted about Hercules on our Facebook page:

 

This sweet kitty was in pain and needed entropion eye surgery on both his eyes. We added a fundraiser campaign to the post to help cover the expense of his surgery.

Entropion is a genetic condition in which a portion of the eyelid is inverted or folded inward against the eyeball. This results in irritation and scratches to the cornea — the front surface of the eye — leading to corneal ulceration, or corneal perforation. It can also leave dark-colored scar tissue to build up over the wound (pigmentary keratitis). These factors may cause a loss or decrease in vision.

We couldn’t wait, so Hercules got his surgery and by July, he had recovered well enough to finally announce to the world he was ready for his forever home!

 

Sweet Hercules had a rough start to his life. Found trying to survive on the streets with a painful eye condition, his eyes are now surgically repaired & require no follow-up or medications. He’s such a sweet boy! He’s around 2 yrs old, vetted and ready for a home. He loves attention & would love a home of his own.

Then in August, something magical happened! Hercules got adopted!

Now his name is Yams because he is such a sweet potato. Congratulations Yams, we wish you and your new family happiness and joy!

SPONSOR A HOMELESS CAT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND YOUR DONATION IS DOUBLED!!

A very generous donor has agreed to match every sponsorship donation we receive, dollar for dollar!

$25=$50     $50=$100     $100=$200

To celebrate, we are also doubling the 12 days of Christmas.  Each day from December 1st through the 24th we’ll be posting photos of our cats and kittens.  You will have the opportunity to sponsor the cat of your choice throughout the month, and you may sponsor as many cats as you wish, as many times as you wish.

A sponsorship is a one-time gift made in honor of a homeless cat at Beyond Nine Cat Rescue.  When you sponsor a homeless cat, you help that cat in ways that you can’t even imagine.  With more than 100 cats currently being cared for at our shelter and in foster homes, you’re sure to find one whose story tugs at your heart.

On Christmas Day we’ll tally up each cat’s donations.  Everyone who donated to the cat with the most donations will be entered into a drawing to win a wine basket worth over $100….or a $100 gift card if the winner is a non-local.  We’ll announce the lucky winner on Christmas Day.

So, bring twice the joy to homeless cats this holiday season!  Make a lifesaving donation today and your gift will be DOUBLED!!

Meet some great cats who need a sponsor today:

CORAL

Coral was picked up by Coral Springs Animal Control as a stray. She is so sweet and friendly that we felt she must have belonged to someone. So we posted her photo in the hopes that someone would claim her but no one did. Won’t you please let her know that she hasn’t been forgotten this holiday season? Click here to sponsor Coral!

MIDNIGHT

Midnight’s owner had to surrender him when he lost his home. Shelter life was quite a change for him but Midnight made the best of it. Please show this playful, friendly kitty some love for the holidays. Click here to sponsor Midnight!

LANDON

One of our shy kitties, Landon often gets overlooked by potential adopters. But if you just rub his belly he will roll over and “make biscuits” with his paws. All Landon wants to make his holidays happy is some love and belly rubs. Click here to sponsor Landon!

MIA

This little kitten was found in the middle of a road in Miami. She was very sick and skinny but with some medicine, plenty of food and lots of love she is thriving and will soon be available for adoption. Click here to sponsor Mia!

SEYMORE

Not having had any interaction with humans prior to his rescue, Seymore is a very scared and shy kitten. But these shy ones think and feel and love just like the rest of us. They have special spirits and deep personalities and, given the opportunity, would make wonderful companions. Click here to sponsor Seymore!

CINNAMON

Cinnamon was abandoned with her sister, Pumpkin, alongside Oakland Park Boulevard. This sweet senior kitty is blind but she can definitely hear a kind voice and feel love. She deserves to know how kind humans can be. Click here to sponsor Cinnamon!

PUMPKIN

Along with her sister, Cinnamon, Pumpkin was found in a cage on the side of Oakland Park Boulevard. They had been abandoned with several other cats. Pumpkin is also blind but she loves the feeling of gentle touches and the sound of soothing voices. Click here to sponsor Pumpkin!

CAPPY

ESME

Esme and her Mama came to us about 8 years ago. Because of her shyness, she has lived her entire life at the shelter. Please show Esme some love while she waits for a quiet loving home that will let her personality shine. Click here to sponsor Esme!

THOMAS

But with lots of patience and love, Mary Jane has let her inner sweetness shine through and now she really enjoys the attention people give her. Click here to sponsor Mary Jane!

TITAN

This curmudgeonly guy will flirt around with you asking for pets and scratches, but then he’ll turn and swat you!!

Please remember him for the holidays.  Click here to sponsor Titan!

OREO

LEO

Leo was born with hip dysplasia. In the hopes he would outgrow the condition, he had to refrain from jumping and running when he was a young kitten. Needless to say, he was less than happy with the situation. But time and rest worked in his favor and now Leo is the king of zoomies! Click here to sponsor Leo!

THOMAS K

Thomas is a refugee from Kuwait, where cats and kittens have long been poisoned, abused and killed. He is indicative of the Kuwaiti street cat…. gentle, quiet and desiring to be loved and cared for.
