Been "adopted" by the cat outside? Feral and free-roaming cats are the largest contributors to the cat overpopulation crisis.
The Cleveland APL is committed to ending this developing tragedy and has a new TNR program to assist caretakers of feral (unsocialized, outdoor) cats. If you are feeding a cat outside, we invite you to be part of the overpopulation solution and take advantage of APL services! Through the Animal Welfare Clinic, the APL offers the following services for feral cats and their caretakers:
Spay/Neuter Services
Feral and homeless cat appointments are $25 for cats and $15 for kittens (8 - 16 weeks). The fee includes:
Spay or neuter surgery
Ear-tipping
Rabies vaccine
FVRCP vaccine
Felv/FIV SNAP testing is available upon request for $30
Cleveland Residents Can Help Stray Cats for $10 >>
Trapping Education and Trap Loan Program
Humane traps are available to APL clients for a non-refundable fee of $5 per week, per trap. A fully refundable $20 deposit is collected when the trap is issued. Our TNR Services Coordinator will provide how-to demonstrations and written instructions on how to successfully and humanely trap feral cats. How-to workshops may be coordinated for groups of caretakers and other interested parties free of charge at the Cleveland APL.
Help save a cat today! To sign up for feral cat services, or for additional information on how you can help, contact the Cleveland APL's Spay/Neuter Services Supervisor at 216-377-1624

Back to School at Lakeshore Beach
On Thursday, August 19, the management of Lakeshore Beach Apartments, Northeast Shores Development Corporation and Shoes and Clothes for Kids teamed up for the first “Back to School night”. This event was held in the new Community Center located in the front of the apartment complex. Over 200 parents and children gathered for hot dogs and book bags. Shoes and Clothes for Kids donated 90 book bags to this event. Northeast Shores and Lakeshore Beach Apartments donated school supplies and food.
Myra Freeman-Pereria and her staff cooked over 200 hotdogs to feed the children and their parents before we started the book bag give away. Just to make it more fun we put the children’s names in a briefcase and pulled them out one by one. Myra said “The joy on the faces of the children here when receiving their book bags was just priceless. I believe very passionately in no child left behind, and with the help of Northeast Shores and Shoes and Clothes for Kids I think we helped make a great start to the new school year”. There were lots of smiles and happy faces. We even gave some pencils and paper to the moms who are returning back to school to learn critical job skills.
This is just the first part of making sure these children excel in school this year. The management of Lakeshore Beach is trying to start a mentoring/tutoring program to help the children with their homework. If you can spare some time and would like to help out, please call Myra at 216-383-4274 or Denise Lorek at 216-481-7660.

The Tower is Up!
The long awaited Tower installed at Waterloo and East 156th Street
Moritz Metal and Wood installed the Tower which is a collaboration of artist Christopher Diehl, and Moritz Wood & Metal / fabricator and artist Mike Moritz.
The placemaking and public art armature Tower was conceived as part of the Waterloo Streetscape Plan working with the Transportation for Livable Communities Initiative of NOACA. The initiative was spearheaded collectively through the efforts of the community with Northeast Shores Development. Continued streetscape improvements are planned for the district. Construction is expected to commence in 2012 for the total plan which included final programming of the area surrounding the Tower. This planning phase will be conducted together with Osborn Engineering, Knight & Stolar, Inc., Planning Consultants & Landscape Architects and The City of Cleveland Department of Construction and Engineering.
The Tower was done in partnership with The City of Cleveland with support from Councilman Michael D. Polensek, Cuyahoga Arts and Culture and the community through the efforts of Arts Collinwood and Northeast Shores.
Chris Diehl from dielio inc artist provided some history regarding the philosophy behind the creation of the Tower concept. “The large area of asphalt intersection at E. 156th and Waterloo streets was created in order to turn street trolleys around. The trolleys served this vibrant working class neighborhood and they, in turn, served the Collinwood rail yards. Visitors also poured onto Waterloo in order to spend the day at the Euclid Beach Park Amusement park just north off of Lake Shore Blvd. After the trolley service ended, the amusement park closed and I-90 cut the Waterloo neighborhood off from the rail yards. This intersection became a large and ungainly place for cars and trucks to pass through and a hazard for the wary pedestrian.”
“The Waterloo placemaking Tower stakes a flag, of sorts, into reclaiming that area as a new civic heart for this reawakening district now reprogrammed for the visual and entertainment arts. The tower will act as the centerpiece of the new pedestrian-friendly plaza next to Arts Collinwood Gallery and the Café at Arts Collinwood. As such, the raw stainless steel structure will become a site for temporary public art installations and live music performance. Like the neighborhood around it, it becomes the container to house and display the incredible talent and gifts of the Waterloo community.
Sarah Gyorki Executive Director at Arts Collinwood stated, “The Waterloo Public Art Selection Committee has been established to review artist submittals that will be solicited following the course of each season throughout the year. Congratulations to Mike Moritz and to Chris Diehl for the work that they have done. Now that the tower's in place, Robin Van Lear will collaborate with another artist after a site visit. As soon as we have the proposal from them, we'll share it with the full committee. The merchants on Waterloo are planning a Walk All Over Waterloo event for the tower unveiling on Sept 17. We hope to have an installation in place and some entertainment for that evening -- live music, food and drink, specials at various venues on the street, including the lighting of the new sign at Blue Arrow Records and Books.”
Fabricator / Artist Mike Moritz appreciated the congratulations offered for the initiative, but tempered his comment with the team effort that went into the project. “Thanks to everyone involved with the Tower project. I still have a few finishing touches on the structure. I will also be creating the specifications regarding future installations of public art on the Tower. The document will then be turned over to the Tower Public Art Committee as an addendum to the request for proposal submittals to artists. The coolest thing about this endeavor is that it stands alone as a placemaking structure, but the evolution of possibilities is endless regarding art installations within the context of the Tower.”
Vince Reddy from Cleveland Public Art commented that: “The tower looks great. I think the Tower being placed there is a triumph in the aesthetically conservative atmosphere of Cleveland.”
