President’s Preview
Welcome to the Summer 2021 edition of the Scratching Post. As the team collected these stories from the past 6 months, it was clear to me that they share an ongoing theme of community involvement. Just as much as Ten Lives is here for the cats, the community is here for us.
The success of Ten Lives is directly dependent on the dedication of our supporters. As you’ll see in Kitten Corner this edition, an increasing part of that support is youth involvement.
Every year I am amazed at the commitment of our volunteers, Op Shop Teams, Centre staff & Vet Team, and people just like you. It’s this support that allows Ten Lives to care for and rehome the cats of Tasmania that so desperately need our help.
Please enjoy this edition of the Scratching Post and I hope you have a happy and festive holiday season.
