Animal Lovers League responds to cruelty case involving 67 cats and kittens at Sands Point Park and Preserve. News 12 LI and Patch Glen Cove and Port Washington video footage showed the horrendous conditions the felines were enduring. A.L.L. staff actually broke a shovel cleaning out accumulated feces in the enclosure and once it was cleaned out brought clean hay to bed the cats in anticipation of pending legal action for their care and adoption. Food and water was provided by the Animal Lovers as well. We have been traveling to Sands Point to clean and care for the cats daily. __________________________________________________________________________________ With Christmas just around the corner here's a timely and fitting update on Noelle, the German shepherd run over by a car a year ago, injured and then left chained to a fence for a year. Here is what she looked like then: 
It took the surgical skills of Dr. Tomas Infernuso and three procedures to fix all of what ailed Noelle. And here is how she looks today! .jpg)
And a happy PS! Dr. Infernuso not only gave Noelle back her health, he also gave her a home . Her name is now Heidi and together they live happily ever after! Thank you so much Dr. Infernuso. __________________________________________________________________________________ 17th Annual ALL Anniversary Dinner a Smashing Success!

=========================================================== "Nightmare on Elm" update... The Animal Lovers League rescued 103 cats, kittens and ferrets from hideous conditions in a local apartment. 76 have been adopted but we still have24 in addition to our usual population and sure can use donations of food, litter, quilts and pillow cases, paper towels and detergent. Our expenses have exceeded $11,000 already. A monetary gift (click donation button on this page or call the shelter at 516 676-5913 to make a secure credit card donation) will be especially appreciated to help buy medical supplies. Kittens are at an adoptable age now and beautiful young adult cats are also waiting for kind-hearted people to give them the home they deserve. They knew only filth and overcrowding, but they have blossomed with the care of loving staff and volunteers and will reward you with a lifetime of love! We have some who have suffered more than others. Please consider Otis, a magnificent tiger, who lost an eye from an untreated injury. His handsome tiger coat is rich and stunning in color and his personality is just as engaging and sweet as can be. Folks, this boy really needs life to be good to him for a change. He's about 2, altered, tested, vaccinated and dewormed. His adoption fee will be waived for the person(s) who make up for the cruelty he suffered. Visit the shelter to see these beauties, or e-mail for more info: animallovershelp@aol.com. Food and medical costs are enormous! Every gift makes a difference! Every penny of your gift is used to help the animals and is tax deductible. ========================================================= Here are just a few of the "Elm Avenue" cats and kittens up for adoption:

A retired schoolteacher, blind and living with her beloved cat Missy for company, needed to go into an assisted living facility. There was no way she would leave without knowing that her dear kitty had a good home. An aide promised she would take Missy, probably with a lucrative donation, but as soon as the teacher had been moved she abandoned the cat. A kind neighbor took the cat in, and the Animal Lovers League was able to find a great home for her, surprisingly with a schoolteacher. Great Karma!
