Gulf Shore Animal League's
Annual Scavenger Hunt
is Here!
Saturday,
May 4th • 11:00am to 4:30pm
(Check-in opens at 10am)
It's that time of year again! Our annual
fundraising Scavenger Hunt is on! For those of
you not familiar with this exciting event, it
begins at the Palma Sola Park Pavilion located
at 7815 40th Ave. West (off 75th Street West) in
Bradenton. Teams of up to five travel to various
stops throughout Manatee County collecting crazy
items, with a point value assigned to each item.
Afterwards, teams return to the Palma Sola Park
Pavilion for a complimentary BBQ lunch sponsored
by Beach House Restaurant. Prizes are awarded to
the team with the shortest time and the highest
points. There will be a DJ, silent auction and
raffle prizes. It's a great way to help us raise
funds to continue our work and have a blast.
The registration fee is only $60 per team for a
day full of fun and a chance to win great
prizes!
To register online, visit gsalscavengerhunt.eventbrite.com or

mail in.
Register by the Early Bird deadline of April
14th and receive a complimentary t-shirt!

Message from the President
Hello, all!
It's HERE! Kitten Season is
upon us already, but thanks
to an innovative program put
together by GULF SHORE
ANIMAL LEAGUE, orphaned
kittens and mamma cats with
their babies are no longer
in danger of neglect and the
ultimate death that
results. Instead, by
putting together a network
of foster homes (more are
needed), foster programs,
cooperation with our
adoption partners, and a
great deal of time and
effort by our core
volunteers, we have insured
every kitten and litter of
kittens with a queen, the
chance of a healthy, happy
life. The program is an
expensive one, but we are
committed to saving these
precious lives. These are
the kinds of initiatives
made possible by your help
and support. Without you -
our donors and volunteers -
orphaned kittens would still
be at a very high risk of
untimely death in our
county.
We are also in full swing
completing our Florida
Animal Friends License Plate
Grant. The spotlighted
communities for March are
Orange Grove Mobile Home
Park, Aloha Estates Mobile
Home Park, Tropical Gardens
Mobile Home Park and PicTown
Mobile Home Park. If you
know of anyone in these
communities, or anywhere an
animal needs to be
spayed/neutered, please
contact us. The grant
monies run out in July. Do
not delay! Let's get all
the cats and dogs fixed so
that no more are killed as a
means of population control.
Did you know? 20-25% of all
dogs entering shelters
nationwide are considered
purebred. Amazing! And
people sometimes think that
they can make money by
selling puppies. Silly
thought!
Have a wonderful March and
mark your calendars for our
Scavenger Hunt on May 4th.
Until next time,
Audrey Garrison
Gulf Shore Animal League
President
We've Been Adopted!
"Pretty Girl &
Punkaroonie"
We are very happy to
announce that our
beautiful pair of Manx
cats, Pretty Girl &
Punkaroonie,
have finally been
adopted TOGETHER just as
we had hoped for.
Thanks Mike & Susan for
giving them a great
home!

Hi, my name is Baylee, I am a
year old and have feline
leukemia (FELV). Don't let my
diagnosis scare you, I am a very
active and playful kitty.
I'm hoping to find a kind,
compassionate person willing to
give me a permanent foster home
where there are no other cats.
Since I am not able to be
around other cats I've made
friends with small friendly
dogs. Although my life will
not be as long as most cats
I deserve a chance at a normal
life. Sometimes it's not the
quantity of life but the quality
of life that counts. GSAL will
provide medical care when
necessary so all you need to do
is provide me with a safe
indoor home and lots of love .
For more information contact
Cheryl at 941-962-0076 or info@gsalinc.org.
Gulf Shore Animal League is
fighting to end the practice of
killing animals as a means of
population control.
