Pet Rescue Raffle Update!

We have lots of Raffle news today!

First of all, Mom would like to thank all of you who have donated! And so do we! We really appreciate the time and the effort, not to matter the green papers you've given!

Next, Mom now has ALL the raffle prizes in the prize package in hand (some of them took a while to arrive. Delivery has been slower than usual, prob'ly because of all the storms round here lately!).

Mom also has Pet Rescue Raffle fliers printed and ready to go to the local pet shops, as of last Thursday. But she had to fly out of town and couldn't get them to the pet shops then! She was in Seattle until yesterday, visiting our cousin kitteh cats Mira and Rose and our woofie cousin Calvin.

Mom debated whether she should give up on the fliers so that the raffle would end on schedule, but she really thinks that extending the raffle a few more days instead may mean more beans will buy tickets for the big prize package, which means more green papers for the woofies and the kittehs and the buns and the hampsters and everyone!

So, the Pet Rescue Raffle will has been extended! The closing date for donations is now: Friday, September 5th. Everybody got that? So there is still time to donate and get chances to win!

But REMEMBER! Friday, September the 5th is the absolute last day of the Pet Rescue Raffle! That means your last chance to enter and win is coming up fast!

Please help get the word out there to all the animal lovers you know!

Thanks for helpin' us!

The Cheezits

We has some new friends, And a Pikshur, too!

Mom's wunnerful aunt in Georgia told her about a very cool group over dere called the Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Altanta that rescues woofies! We're adding their link to the sidebar cause we love to make new furriends! Here it is: www.stcga.net.

Here is a pikshur of (most) of the prizes in the Pet Rescue Raffle! A couple haven't come yet because of the big storm Hurry Cane messing up the package delivery, but don't worry, they will be here soon, way before the end of the raffle on August 31st. PLEASE consider donating! You can click on the donate link above this post or use the pikshur if you want to see more about the raffle first. We has sold only fourteen tickets so far...*sigh*.

BUT *perks up* Mom is calling up the pet store to see if she can set up a table and maybe sell some tickets out front. They are very nice people and maybe they will let her! We has our paws crossed. It's good when Mom goes to the pet store anyway, because she brings back extra stinky goodness for US. (She has already had to hide the doggie treats from the special bakery that are in the Raffle from us, because they smells so yummy that we has been trying to shred the pretty gauzey stuff to get at them! Mom wouldn't let us touch them, though. We has to remember to be strong and resist temptation, cause they are going to a Good Cause.)

Attenshun! We Has a BIG Announcement!

Ahem...

Our Mom, who has been bloggin' over on her Mommy Blog a LONG time now, on account of she is furry old, has asked some wunnerful beans to help her make a Furry Good Thing happen for all of us woofers and kittehs, bunnies and hampsters and ferrets and gerbils and guinea pigs and, and other animals we has forgotten!

Mom has been very sad with so many kittehs crossing the Rainbow Bridge lately, especially Felix, cause her little kitten Leo had the same horrible nasty disease. (Dis is a pikshur of Leo. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge when he was even younger than we are now, but as you can see he was a furry nice ginger, too.)Mom decided she wanted to do sumfing speshul to help us animals. So she put together a furry BIG raffle, with not just one prize or a few prizes but a HUGE Prize Package with donations from these wunnerful beans, and all the raffle money is goin' to the no-kill shelter where Mom got us purrfect kittehs, The Cheezits!

Now, we wants all of you on the Cat Blogosphere to know about dis raffle, cause you are our bestest furriends, and you can win stuff. And maybe you know sum beans with sum extra green papers lyin' around that want to help animals get rescued, and maybe THEY know sum beans, too, and all of that ends up meaning more green papers for pets at the shelter!

So, here's the deal:

Stop by tomorrow, either here on The Cheezits OR on Cool Moms Rule (Mom's blog), to find out all the cool prizes in the Prize Package. Dere is stuff for all animal types, AND dere is stuff for beans and little beans, too!

• Donate any day the raffle is running (starts tomorrow, Monday, August 18th).
  
• You can get ONE raffle ticket for $2 or SIX raffle tickets for $10, which if you are furry good at math like us Cheezits means you get one free if you give the $10 donation! (Okay, we admit it, Mom 'splained that math stuff to us.)
• Win (maybe) the Prize Package! But even if you don't win, you has done sumfin' good for animals, and dat's def'nitely worth a lot, too!

Thank you so much for wantin' to help cute kittehs like us find homes, and for wantin' to help woofers and buns and hampsters and ferrets and stuff get rescued, too (yes, they has them at the no-kill shelter, too). And don't furrget to enter the raffle tomorrow!

P.S. Mom knows that sum beans is hurtin right now, and they don't have a lot of green papers themselves. So she is going to buy some raffle tickets wif her own green papers and put them in those beans' names. If you know someone speshully needy just now, you can email Mom at pluckymisha AT gmail.com (speshul mail for dis raffle only), and she will buy them a ticket until she runs out of eskstra green papers herself!
