4257.0. "REMEMBER THE HOMELESS ANIMALS AT XMAS" by POCUS::NORDELL () Tue Dec 18 1990 12:20

    If you are looking at holiday cards, Hallmark has one 'from the cat'
    with a cat coming out of holiday wrapping.  That cat is exactly what my
    'Whiskey' looks like.  Can you beat that - he's been out modeling for
    greeting cards while I'm slaving away at DEC and a part-time job.  And
    I haven't even seen any money for litter or food!
    
    Seriously, I bought the card and sent it with a note and small donation
    to the shelter where we adopted him almost two years ago.  He has been
    such a joy and a love (even if he sleeps ON (not next to) my head every
    night.
    
    This is just a reminder to remember the unwanted, homeless animal that
    will not have a warm, cozy food-filled holiday.  Even small donations
    are welcome.  I know my Whisk is glad he has a home and I am glad he is
    with me.

4257.1	LIFE'S BLESSINGS	AIMHI::OFFEN		`Tue Dec 18 1990 13:18`	20
	I am going into Hallmark tonight and will look for that card.... My White Lightning posed for the cards I am sending out and I didn't even know it either. And I always thought my kids told me everything...... I agree about the homeless babies, both feline and canine. I try to help them and also the two-legged homeless. Xmas can be a very lonely time for many. It always makes me remember that I am a very lucky person. I have a home, two wonderful girls (two-legged), four wonderful cats and one wonderful dog. I also was blessed with a beautiful grandson earlier this year. And most of all, I have a wonderful family of friends from both Felines and Canines. Merry Xmas, Sandi & the Storm Troopers
4257.2	Orphan Alley	NQOAIC::MACDONALD	MaryAnne MacDonald	`Wed Dec 19 1990 12:29`	8
	Cat Fancy carries an for Orphan Alley, a shelter in the northwest. For a minimum $10.00 donation you can sponsor a cat for a year. So that's what my dad got for his birthday this month. He called the other day to let me know that he received a nice letter and a picture of "his" cat. He was very pleased! MaryAnne
4257.3	I like that idea!	AKOCOA::FALLON	Isn't that a Mooncat?	`Wed Dec 19 1990 13:06`	4
	That sounds terrific, are there any here on the east coast and/or what is the address/es for these places so we can do this too!? KRSW+G
4257.4		COOKIE::SIMON		`Fri Dec 21 1990 14:37`	7
	For anyone in Colorado, you might consider a donation to Fur Purries, a cat shelter in Pueblo that serves the Springs southwards. I was at their Christmas party this past Monday, and they have just moved to a new building to house more cats; the building requires a lot of fixup work, plus the ordinary day-to-day expenses of running a cat shelter. They also have a lot of cats and kittens who could use a good home, also.
