TASSIE’S 1/4 TOUR 29 AUGUST - 20 SEPTEMBER 2020 In support of the Ten Lives Building Project Fundraiser: Every cat deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. For tens of thousands of lost and homeless cats in our community over the last seven decades, that chance begins at Ten Lives. The Ten Lives Cat Centre at Selfs Point Road is a critically needed local resource for Tasmania that has served our cats and the community well since 2006. Ten Lives is saving more cats and kittens than ever before and limitations of an aging, inadequate facility doesn’t meet the demands of providing the best possible care for our cats, or ensuring the staff and volunteers have a safe, supportive and comfortable environment to do their vital work. By building a modern shelter facility, the benefits to both cats and people are clear: more lives will be saved; the number of homeless and abandoned cats will be reduced; and most of all this project will change the landscape of animal welfare within our community and the way we look after our people. It’s that important. We invite you to learn more about this project and join us in making a difference that they can COUNT ON - read all about our Building Project in the Spring 2020 Edition of the Scratching Post (available on our website or drop in to the Centre at 12 Selfs Point Road to grab your copy!) “This is the most significant project Ten Lives has taken on in its 70 years history and it will completely change our ability to care for cats, our people and the environment. Our current premises have served our cats and the community well, but are now seriously inadequate for us to do our work.” - David Rees, Ten Lives President WELCOME, FROM DAVID REES “We have always had the support of the community and as part of my commitment to Ten Lives I am taking the Tour de Ten Lives challenge to get stuck in to help Ten Lives get set for the next 20 years of helping cats, the community and our environment.” - David Rees, Ten Lives President The ¼ Tour de France is a cycling adventure by the President of Ten Lives and hopefully some loyal supporters around Southern Tasmania aimed to match the real Tour de France, except doing only ¼ of the distance, with some exceptions. The Tour takes in all places from where Ten Lives receives lost and abandoned cats and goes some way in demonstrating the reach of Ten Lives (over 1,000 kms). Like the real tour, the ¼ Tour will have 21 Stages and will take place over 3 weeks from Saturday 29 August 2020 and finishing with a sprint on our version of the Paris Champs Elysee, being along Charles Street next to the public park at Orford on Sunday 20 September. It will scale Mount Wellington, go to Huonville, Lauderdale and Granton and everywhere else in between. It will visit the Ten Lives Margate Op Shop, and naturally have a stage leaving and finishing at Ten Lives at Selfs Point. If the Tour can save the life of one cat, it will be more than worth it! We’re building them a brighter future... GET ON BOARD!
