An Amazing Summer with Jonah Laulu
This summer, FCW Animal Rescue had an NFL player in our corner. Jonah Laulu, a Las Vegas native and defensive tackle then with the Raiders, gave two Saturdays to help rescue cats in his hometown find homes. When a pro athlete shows up for shelter animals, people notice, and that attention is exactly what our cats need.
June 21: Petco, Henderson
Jonah first joined us at our adoption event at Petco in Henderson. He held kittens, met visitors and took photos with our team in front of the FCW banner. Watching a 6-foot-5 defensive lineman cradle a tiny black kitten is something our volunteers won't forget.
July 11: PetSmart, Eastern Avenue
He came back for a meet-and-greet at our adoption event at PetSmart, 5915 S Eastern Ave in Las Vegas, held with PetSmart Charities from 11 AM to 4 PM. Jonah's own team created the event flyer and helped spread the word. Every family who stopped by to meet him also met cats waiting for someone to pick them.
Jonah Laulu Heads to Nashville
In late October, Jonah joined the Tennessee Titans. We're grateful he gave his time to rescue animals in his hometown, and we'll be cheering for him.
Jonah, thank you for spending your summer with us and the cats. Las Vegas will miss you, but Nashville is lucky to have you. Good luck with the Titans! A big thank-you to the Raiders and Raider Nation for sharing Jonah with our cats this summer. Titans fans, you're getting a good one. Titan Up! Follow Jonah on Instagram at @jonah_laulu and cheer him on this season. We're proud of you, big man!
