I follow a blog out of the Tacoma area, the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, by a woman who along with her husband and trusty grown cat Charlene Butterbean foster kittens for the Tacoma Humane Society. Her pictures and stories are amazing and provide for some serious cuteness overload, lots of laughs, and not a few tears.
Each year in conjunction with Tacoma Humane's Dog-a-Thon, the IBKC does its own FUNdraiser for the cats. In past years they have blown past their expectations and raised squillions and squillions of dollars for the shelter. For me, not only have all of my pets as an adult been the product of animal rescue, but my last cat, Sammi, was fostered by and then adopted from this particular shelter when I lived in Tacoma. I have been lucky enough to be able to donate to this cause since its inception.
If you have pets in your hearts, please check out the IBKC and if you have money in your wallet please consider making a donation. This year's goal is $100 squillion dollars and they are more than halfway there. Today every penny raised will not only go to the spay and neuter programs but will also be matched by a generous anonymous donor up to $3,000.
Jo as a foster for Redmond Humane. So tiny!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

That's a cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteTinker Bell and Millicent would throw a fit if I adopted another one. :(
