Waverly Pizza Ranch Fund Raiser 2018
What a great group of volunteers and supporters who came to Waverly Pizza Ranch tonight (May 16). It was wonderful to see those of you who have rarely missed one of our events. Loved visiting with all of you. And, to those who bused tables-kudos to you Angie Minnaert, Liz Wegner, Keisha Stough and Dannielle VanBrocklin. You did a great job. Thank you also for talking to people and answering questions. I may be replaced. LOL. (Not too soon though) LOL Thank you Connie for picking me up and volunteering tonight as well and for Annette Wood who brought her family and stayed with us awhile too. It is appreciated. It was a very good fund raiser for us this year AND It. Was. The. FIRST. Year in the past four years without Rain. Hail. Thunderstorms (severe). and Tornadoes! The first sunny day for our event in four years. It was wonderful. Thank you everyone. And to those who could not come tonight and still sent their 'pizza orders' to us, Thank all of you as well.

Furnace Moving Fund Request. Calling all Rustic Hollow fans.
If you can contribute any amount to our 'furnace moving fund' it would be greatly appreciated.
Our staff discovered this week, after all the rain we have been getting, that the sump pump which keeps the furnace in the basement of the Kitty Kottage dry….. stopped working.

Our plumbing/heating friend came out immediately but it was too late. The water had gotten far enough up on the base the furnace sits on and went beyond it. The circuit board and motor need to be replaced. A decision was made to remove the furnace from the basement and put it on the first floor of the 2-story Kitty Kottage, which will solve the problem of water damaging it. We will still have to pump water out in the spring, but if a sump pump fails, it will not cause damage to the furnace. There is a water pressure tank that supplies water to several buildings also in the basement and that will be raised high enough it will be safe from future water problems.

Moving the furnace to the first floor will also require it to be enclosed by a screen ‘cage’ to prevent the cats from getting near the furnace and causing any (water-loll) damage to it.

We need to raise as many $$$$ as fast as we can, so we can get this project completed before we need the furnace for our air conditioning.
Please share. No amount is too small. you can donate $$$ to our paypal addy which is: cwshelter@wildblue.net or mail to PO Box 67, Nashua, IA 50658. It is appreciated.

 On 6-10-17, Wanda and I and Connie Phillis and Anne Myles went to Waterloo for the Cedar Valley Roller Derby last home game of the season. The Brawlers and their Junior team, the Mad Catters, are all animal lovers and particularly cat lovers. Part of the team visited R. Hollow in May and spent a long afternoon loving on the cats. We were the organization chosen for their last home game fund raiser and we truly appreciate the invite and the wonderful donations we received from their raffle and from the spectators who enjoyed the night. The Brawlers won big on their last home game against a Wisconsin team. And the Mad Catters debuted during half time. It was a 'fun' "Fun"draiser for Rustic Hollow. Pictured below from Left: Volunteer Connie Phillis, Anne Myles, supporter and volunteer who joined us for the evening, and Wanda Orric, the "W" in C& W's Rustic Hollow Shelter.

Our Kat Barn flooded in September 2016 when a deluge of rain proved too much for our tiny creek that runs through the property. Never in the history of this acreage had we ever had any flooding into one of our buildings. But we had wanted to update the Kat Barn for some time. This just gave us the incentive to get it done sooner.
A room in the upper level of Bradley's House was built to  house the displaced Kat Barn cats. Then the hard work began. Staff worked hard to tear out the wood and linoleum flooring and get the area cleaned. This spring the old concrete floor was resurfaced and the work on ceiling and walls began. Here are some photos of a work in progress. Yes, the cats are back in their home and love helping the crew. 

Pictured middle photo above: 'Dave' and Angie Minnaert working on the Kat Barn ceiling with some kitty helpers. Also helping with the ceiling work is Russell (Rusty) VanBrocklin pictured below getting some love from a Kat Barn kitty.
