I donate to a feral cat organization, feline diabetes organization, to my local humane society, several no kill shelters and i will be giving to corgi aid as well, as i feel they do so much good. You know , linda, i love the idea of giving money to help out elderly pets. I went to our humane society last week and found so many pets there, elderly and thrown out for a bunch of really crappy reasons ( in my humble opinion). I wonder how someone can love a pet for 9 or 10 or 14 years ( yes there was a 14 yr old shih-tzu dog there thrown away because owner was moving) and then just toss them out when they become an inconvenience, siick, elderly or just require more time or care. I left that place in tears. It really breaks my heart. I have a 16 yr old cat named misty, who was diagnosed 5 yrs ago with diabetes. I was told at the time that maybe i should just put her to sleep because her care would be constant and i would have to give her shots etc and what kind of quality of life would she have. Well i am here to say that i made some sacrifices in my social life- i cant go to dinner for 6pm...i have to go out for dinner a little later, after she has had her shot...but so what is an hour to ensure a happy healthy kitty? I have done this for 5 yrs now, she has a wonderful quality of life, she is happy and isn't this the least i could do for her after 11 yrs of her being there for me? It is a small price to pay.
Linda, the idea of sewing the fleece pads is a great one, i sure wish i was a good sewer! I bet the cats loved them! what a loving thing to do with your daughter!
