All About Spay Neuter Inc. Receives Generous Grant from Build-
A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation

August 1, 2007
PRESS RELEASE

A generous grant from Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation  was
awarded  to All About Spay Neuter Inc., a 501c3 non-profit corporation whose
mission is to reduce the overpopulation of feral cats through TNR
(trap/neuter/return).  TNR is the only humane and effective  method for ending
homelessness and suffering for these cats and their offsping.

Since September 2004, All About Spay Neuter Inc. has spayed/neutered over
1800 cats and kittens and found safe adoptive homes for approximately 400 of
theses cats and kittens.  “We are so excited”, Joanne Monez, Founder and
Director of All About Spay Neuter Inc. states.  “Now  we can expand our TNR
efforts to low income and subsidized housing projects where people cannot
afford to spay and neuter their feral cats.  Nassau County is in dire need of help.”

The Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation is committed  to making life
more bearable for children, families and pets, in need of a helping paw.  With the
sale of each full-sized Bearemy’s Kennel Pals  friend – a collection of  Build-A-
Bear plush dogs – one dollar is donated to domestic pets programs including
local animals shelters, stray pet rescue and rehabilitation organizations, and pet
education programs around the country.  Funds are available to qualified non-
profit animal groups in the United States and Canada through a quarterly grant
process.  Visit
