CHARITY SHOPS FOR SASG :
On the 1st September 2008 we opened our first charity shop. This is
situated at 23 Fuxa Street, San Gwann.
In April 2009 we opened our second charity shop in Qawra Road, Qawra.
In April 2010 we opened our third charity shop which is situated in Nicolo Isouard Street,
Mosta.
From September 2008 up to December 2011 we have paid for the neutering of over
4,500 cats and dogs. All proceeds from our shops go towards the neutering
of stray animals.
We need all sorts of goods - used and new - to keep our shops well stocked. Please
help by donating any unwanted ornaments, books, pictures, plants, pottery, etc, etc.
Surplus stock or old stock which your business can spare will be much appreciated.
We are also able to take furniture for our shop in Qawra.
All funds will go towards helping stray animals. Volunteers for the shops are also
welcome.

NEWSLETTER 9 (Summary '11)
STRAY ANIMALS SUPPORT GROUP
2011 was a very busy and productive year. Our charity shops did well and most of the
funds went towards the neutering of stray cat colonies. In fact it was a record year
where we issued 1700 neutering vouchers at a total cost of Euro 34,000.
Our heartfelt thanks go out to our fantastic shop staff who work so hard in our
Charity Shops to raise funds to enable us to achieve all this. We also thank all
the kind and generous people who donate good stuff to our shops thus enabling us
to raise much-needed funds. We also thank our kind sponsors who regularly send
their much needed donations and the organizers of the Star Reward Fund for
including SASG to share in this fund. And last but not least, we thank the
vets who give us discounted prices for the neutering of strays.
Thank you Jan for the lovely cards.
Funds raised from our charity shops, our other fund raising activities,
as well as donations from well-wishers were spent as follows:-
Euro 34,671 - on neutering of stray cat colonies
Euro 5,044 - on medication and operations on injured cats and dogs
Euro 17,980 - on food bills for cat colonies, recovering cats, rescued cats
Euro 12,314 - on flight bills for sending AAA dogs to new homes in Germany
Euro 2,613 - on new recovery ward, new equipment, donation to sanctuary
Euro18,800 - shop rents and water and electricity bills
Accounts in more detail can be seen on our web site.
Our cat catchers were on the go all year round and more than half the neutering
was actually done by them. The SASG Mellieha team now have most of the area under
control, which is a huge achievement when one considers we have counted more than
40 colonies in this area only. Well-done girls and guy!! Well done also to all
of you others (will not mention any names) who work so hard to help these abandoned,
betrayed and wretched cats and dogs whose lives you have lightened up with your love
and dedication. One little meal, one gentle word and an act of kindness makes all
the difference in their otherwise miserable life.
Recently we were asked by someone to list the colonies that SASG look after
or provide food for. To mention a few that are looked after and daily fed by
SASG members, these are Golden Sands 2 (colonies), Pwales 1, Mellieha 3, Little
Armier 1, St Paul's Bay 1, Bugibba 3, Selmun 1. Other colonies that SASG
provides (partially) food for are St. Luke's 2, St. Venera convent 1,
Borg Olivier garden 1, Swieqi 2, Mosta 1, Bugibba 2, Floriana Prezziozi garden 1,
Zammit Clapp 1, University 1, Balluta 1, San Gwann 1, San Anton 1, Pieta 1.
Although SASG would love to help all those who need and ask for help, this is not
financially possible at the present time. Our priority is to use our funds for neutering
of stray cat colonies but even this is very hard to achieve without the help of
each and every one of you. Please donate any unwanted articles, including furniture,
to our charity shops. Call us on 79380103 or 79575765 for more information.

Some of our rescued cats that are looking for loving homing can be seen on our
homing page. If you can offer one of them
a home please contact Janine on 79575765. If you cannot adopt a cat, you might
like to help by sponsoring one until a good home is found. Or you could sponsor
one of our not-so-sociable cats. Check out our sponsoring page.
