Cat Rescue Network

As you may remember, in lieu of sending paper Christmas cards for the Blogville card exchange, I decided again this year to make a donation to an animal charity. I love all our fur friends and know they are the lucky ones with homes, so in the spirit of the season I wanted to help others. This year, because it was the first year in 20 Christmases I don't have a cat (and I would love to have one), I decide to help out feline population. I picked the local organization Cat Rescue Network. It is a volunteer run organization helping cats in our community.

Here is part of the email I received from the rescue after our donation:

"Because of your generosity another cat can be taken in and cared for.  You may soon see a cat named Bo posted.  He is one of our most recent intakes and, if all goes well, your gift  has ensured that we now have raised all we need to get him to the vet.  He is a sweet cat, and was abandoned in a rural area where he had little chance of surviving. Happily, someone found him and called us and we had a foster home available.  We also have a kitten named Troy who requires 2 surgeries, so will cost quite a bit over and above his eventual adoption fee.  So, every donation takes the edge off the costs we incur and allows us to keep going. "

I borrowed this picture of Troy from their website, (I hope that is ok cat rescue network), so you could one of the cute faces we all have helped this Christmas.  Thank you all for doing all you do to help animals in need and provide wonderful homes to the ones you have. 


Merry Christmas

  14. What a wonderful Christmas gift. We hope Troy gets really healthy and finds a home, so he can be chased by a dog--sorry, we just have to chase cats.
