MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Stray Cat Rescue and Protection Society (SCRAPS) is announcing the launch of its adorable 2025 cat and kitten calendars and these ideal stocking stuffers are on sale now at participating business locations.
The SCRAPS Enrichment Edition 2025 “PURRfectly Playful & Protected” calendars will remain available until all copies have sold out.
“Our SCRAPS calendars have just been launched and are a ‘PURRfect’ gift idea,” announced Anne Marciszyn, a SCRAPS Moose Jaw volunteer.
This year’s cat calendar theme is “keeping our cats safe and engaged.”
“They not only are inspirational, but they celebrate featured cats throughout every month in 2025, give cat guardians wonderful and unique ideas on how to enrich their cat’s life, as well as provide important tips on how to keep your cat safe,” Marciszyn added.
SCRAPS is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of cats in and around Moose Jaw. Along with rescuing, fostering, and adopting out kittens, SCRAPS focuses on helping feral cats through its trap, neuter, and release (TNR) program. This initiative spays or neuters feral cats, vaccinates them, provides any needed minor medical care, and then releases them back into the community.
Once released, these cats are monitored and cared for in managed colonies that provide food, water, shelter, and ongoing supervision.
Designed by Jody Chell and Laura Jensen, the cat calendar features 12 cats who were rescued by the team in Moose Jaw. Each month includes one enrichment activity, a safety tip, and also includes feline-specific dates that your pets don’t want you to miss, including “Hug Your Cat Day” on Wednesday, June 4, and “International Cat Day” on Friday, Aug. 8.
Marciszyn said the number one reason to purchase a calendar is because it “helps improve the lives of homeless cats in our community and beyond.”
Marciszyn wished to thank the calendar’s major sponsors including Gale Toews, Moose Jaw Carpet One, and Penna’s Welding, as well as the 12 monthly business sponsors featured throughout.
“The biggest and most sincere thank you (goes out) to our many supporters and business sponsors, to our partner satellite adoption sites…, and finally, to our unbelievably dedicated and hardworking SCRAPS volunteer team, (who works) across a spectrum of care.
“From our SCRAPS family, we wish our community the merriest and best of the Christmas season and a fresh New Year filled with the blessings, generosity, care, and love you have shown to SCRAPS and so many cats and kittens in 2024,” Marciszyn said. “From scraps to treasured — the greatest gift of all.”
Calendars are priced at $20 apiece, with all proceeds going to support the organization’s effort to care for Moose Jaw’s stray cats and sustain its TNR program to control the feral cat population.
You can purchase your calendar at the Moose Jaw Express office, Tourism Moose Jaw, Artistique Acres Pet Resort, Cowtown Moose Jaw, DDK Pets, Evan’s Florist, ExCallipurr Cat Café, Peavey Mart, PetValu, the Prairie Oasis Restaurant, and the Vintage Vixen Hair Salon at 15 Wing.
