Fundraiser Update #3

|

Super excited to share some wonderful news about my upcoming Holiday Fundraiser!!

I have decided to make up to 10 gift boxes full of pet food, toys and treats as well as possibly adding a gift certificate to each one.

I have been in touch with several pet stores (to request some gift certificates or gift bags) and have gotten a definite YES from my local Pet Planet Winderemere and they will be providing me with some sample packs to add to the boxes!!!

I have also partnered up with ‘A Pet’s Pantry Society’, our local Pet Food Bank who have generously offered me all the pet food and treats I would need!

A Pet’s Pantry Society is a non-profit organization located in southwest Edmonton. Their mission is to facilitate partnerships with rescues to grow the community. By working with local rescues, their goal is to ease the burden created due to a lack of resources so that more funding can be directed to critical medical care.

Please check out their website http://apetspantry.org to learn about the amazing work they do and how you can support them.

I am ticking things off my checklist as I work towards making this a success.

I still have a few more things to gather (ex: large boxes, gift wrap and a few more supplies like litter, scoops and puppy pads) and I am hoping to have things ready by the end of this month and start putting together these boxes in December.

The rescues I have contacted are very excited and I hope to post some pictures as they come and get their gifts:)

I can’t wait to see how this goes!!!

Holiday Happenings!

|

As we slowly move into the holiday season, I wanted to take a minute to brainstorm ideas on some great ways to include some of my local rescues into the festivities.

I would love to have another fundraiser however I thought that it would only be fair that I do something on a smaller scale so I can reach out and help more rescues.

So I came up with this idea!

I am thinking about putting together a small gift pack for each rescue.

This may include some cat toys, treats, food certificates etc

I will be reaching out to some local pet stores to see if they might be interested in providing a gift certificate.

I think this would be a wonderful idea! It is time to let all those hard working rescues know that we haven’t forgotten them and their fur babies during this busy holiday season…

What do you think? Is there anything specific you would like to see added to these gift packs?

Leave a comment and let me know!

Let’s Keep On Giving!!!

|

Once again THANK YOU so much to everyone who has purchased pendants to help me raise funds for Matty’s.

We are slowly moving forward!!

I also wanted to take this time to fill you in on my efforts to help our November Rescue of the Month!

I will be announcing the name soon and I am hoping to continue the fundraising efforts and raise some money for them as well.

All your support means the world to these rescues. Most of them do not receive any funding and are operated by volunteers, solely relying on donations!

Every dollar I can raise for them will be well worth the effort!!!!

Hey Everyone !

As promised in my earlier post, I have now put together a small fundraiser to help out my first rescue of the month “Matty’s Place Cat Sanctuary”

I have some cool items that I will be selling in order to raise funds and 100% of the profits will be donated to the rescue.

Here is a look !

The first ones are these really cute bronze pendants. A great gift idea for a cat lover! Just add it on to a necklace or bracelet!

They will be selling for $4 each! Limited quantities available!

The next ones are these really adorable shopping bags. They scrunch up into the pouches which are attached to the bag. How cute! They will be sold for $3 each

If you would like to buy one and support me in helping out this well deserved rescue, please email me at crazycatladycorner@yahoo.com with your information or leave me a comment with your email address and I will get in touch with you. I can mail out to where ever you are!:)

Thanks for all your support! Happy Shopping!

Kitty On A Leash

|

Some people say that it is next to impossible to get a cat on a leash.

However I have come across many stories and seen many pictures of leashed cats going for walks. So I decided to put this theory to the test with Kitty. I must start by saying that it probably helps if you do this when your cat is fairly young so that they get used to it.

I bought a harness for Kitty as soon as we adopted her(She was just over a year old). I chose a harness as opposed to a collar and leash because it is safer and more secure. The likelihood of her accidentally strangling herself was much less with a harness. And I must say, never have I been more grateful for this choice as when she decided to walk through the balcony railings.

This happened when we moved to our new home and Kitty was exploring her surroundings. She is always supervised when she is out on the balcony however this one time she decided to zip past my husband and off the balcony rails. Luckily my husband was holding on to the leash but for a minute my little baby was hanging off the balcony just terrified. And because she had a harness, not a collar, her weight was equally spread out so she was not being choked!!

We got her back up within seconds and she was clearly shaken but since then she has never tried that again! Lesson learnt I guess….

A few tips for anyone thinking of introducing a collar or harness to a cat.

  1. Use a harness NOT a collar when putting on a leash. It could save your cat’s life.
  2. Never leave them unsupervised when they are on a harness and leash. They could easily get tangled up in something (furniture etc) or worse.
  3. Make sure the harness is not on too tight. Practice the two finger rule. If you can’t slip through two fingers under any part of the harness or collar it is too tight.
  4. Measure your cat before you buy a harness. Or better yet, take them with you to the store and try it on.
  5. Cats are unpredictable, especially if you are walking them on a leash. So have a good hold of the leash so that they don’t dash.
  6. Be extra vigilant when you are out with your cat. Take a cat carrier with you just in case you run into trouble (dogs, other animals) so that you can get your cat to safety.

There you go! If you have any other tips you would like to share, please leave a comment 🙂

Enjoy these photos of Kitty on her leash 🙂

Some Funky Art!

|

I wanted to share some artwork I did which will be donated towards the Berkeley’s Place Online Auction.

Proceeds raised from this auction will be used for the Earth Angel Helpersack Initiative which is a community outreach project to help homeless people living on the streets with companion animals.

I am hoping to do a few more similar ones on a smaller scale towards my own fundraiser in the next few months.

Let me know what you think of these 🙂
