A couple of weeks ago, our pals over at Twinkletoe Tails celebrated Oui Oui and Mica Minnie Moo’s gotcha days by holding a commentathon (at their blog) and post-a-thon (at the Tabby Cat Club) to benefit the PAWS cats. Well, the events were a huge success, raising $100 to benefit the volunteer-initiated and -implemented “Habitat for Cats” catification project at the shelter. And THEN, another one of our close blogging buddies, Brian (of Brian’s Home) and his dad, matched that $100, turning it into $200 for PAWS! Is that cool, or what?
Big thanks to the Twinkletoe Tails gang (Oui Oui, MMM, Julie and Carlos, and their mom) and the crew at Brian’s Home (Brian, Sascha, Gracie, Zoe, Dolly, Kit, and Precious, and their dad and mom). We love you all, and are so grateful for your friendship, thoughtfulness and generosity. You’ll be excited to know that your generous gifts are the very first donations for “Habitat for Cats” at PAWS!
But our thank you train doesn’t stop there. Check out what some of our other blogging buddies did…
Recently, our close friend Sparkle the Designer Cat (and her human) held a highly successful commentathon to celebrate her birthday and World Cat Domination Day. With the $75 she raised, Sparkle chose to sponsor three cats – Patch, Sweet Pea and Oreo – who are waiting at PAWS for their forever homes! Pretty awesome, huh?
And THEN, our dear friends at The Cat on My Head, inspired by Sparkle and her human’s kindness, decided to sponsor a PAWS kitty, too! The Kitties Blue and their mom are sponsoring Swizzle. And they want to keep sponsoring her until she is adopted! They even made Swizzle an honorary Kitty Blue!
Thank you so much for sponsoring these amazing adoptable cats, Sparkle and the Kitties Blue. We appreciate and love you, and will do our best to keep you posted about how “your” kitties are doing.
And finally … thank you to everyone who took the time to post and comment to help make all of the events such a success. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you all for your friendship, and for being YOU!
Have a great weekend. :)
Like we always say...this is one incredible giving and loving family. Pet Bloggers are the best! We are so happy that the shelter and all the kitties will benefit from such extraordinary kindness.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so awesome!

ReplyDeleteThis is great news and we are so pleased for you. Mum sponsors a cage at our Cats Protection League in the UK and it's wonderful when you see the cat in your cage has got their furever home. Then you meet the new cat and off we go again.

How wonderful! PAWS is a great place and deserves all the support it can get.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that all the PAWS kitties are getting so much support from fellow cat bloggers - and I could not be more thrilled that my human's sponsoring kitties there inspired The Cat on My Head's human to sponsor too!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you Kevin and Tracey for continuing to remind everyone, with humor and grace, that there are so many cats and kittens who need homes.

ReplyDeleteWe won Sparkle's commentathon and picked PAWS as our shelter. That's why she is sponsoring 3 PAWS cats. So we helped too.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Kitty bloggers are the best!
ReplyDeleteAnd Habitat for Cats is such a great project. PAWS kitties are so lucky to be loved and cared by wonderful volunteers and blogging friends!

Hi Kitties, We sent your dad an email a couple days ago at his gmail--if he hasn't checked it, will you tell him there's a message from us there? Purrs
ReplyDeleteThat's the happiest of happy endings. Gotcha Day celebrations and donations so more kitties can find homes. Pawsome combination!
ReplyDelete--Purrs (and wags) from Life with Dogs and Cats
Hi again--we tried sending the mail again ;-) Hope it gets there this time! Let us know if it still doesn't come through!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome!!! Wonderful news - can't wait to hear about the progress on the new habitat. Mom would love to sponsor a kitty. She says one day when she has some extra money that will be the first thing she does!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful news. Headbutts and purrs to all the wonderful people sponsoring these beautiful kitties.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! We are thankful, too...and also for people like you. Hug.
