Update on June 9th, 2009: STILL GOING STRONG: Vote for your favorite Rescue Group at the The Animal Rescue Site $100,000
Shelter+ Challenge - together with Petfinder.com!
You can help The Animal Rescue Site choose which eligible Petfinder.com animal rescue organizations will receive special funds to help animals! Easy to do. Participation is simple. You can cast one vote every day for your favorite rescue group.
GreaterGood.org (GGO) is proud to announce “THE 2009 ANIMAL RESCUE SITE $100,000 SHELTER+ CHALLENGE — together with PETFINDER.COM” will grant up to $100,000 USD in support and assistance to select domestic and international animal rescue and welfare organizations.
Most of us are already donating food to the animals through The Animal Rescue Site. You can even sign up for an automatic daily reminder.
I love that! With the daily reminder in your email, all you do is click on the link and you are there. In and done in a matter of seconds and it means so much to the critters. And now for just a few more seconds of your time, vote for the Petfinder.com rescue organization of your choice – it will mean so much to the hardworking, dedicated volunteers.
The contest ends at midnight PST, July 26th, 2009. There is still time to win a grant for a Petfinder.com rescue group near you. I was thrilled to see one of my favorites, Save Our Strays, Inc. of Tampa Bay, FL on the list of eligible rescues organizations and I am voting for them every day.
Get your friends involved and help out the rescue groups.

News from Dumb Friends League:
Denver Named a CATalyst 2009 Top 10 Cat-Friendly City
How can you tell if a city is cat friendly? The CATalyst Council is a coalition of the veterinary community, academia, nonprofits, industry and animal welfare organizations. Other cities named include Tampa, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland (Ore.), Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta and Minneapolis.
CATalyst Council board member Steve Dale reports, “Cats outnumber dogs by nearly 10 million among the pet-owning public. Cats are now top choice for human households wishing to open their doors to pets. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, in 2007, the number of cats owned (81.7 million) outnumbers that of canines (72 million) by nearly 10 million.”

A SPECIAL REQUEST form the Dumb Friends League:
Colorful collars needed
Sometimes our adorable adoptable black kittens and cats are overlooked. We want to help them stand out from the crowd. Colorful or fancy collars can make a difference. Visit Dumb Friends League for more information.
Black cats are in all shelters. Check with your local shelter for information on donating special colorful colors for these “good luck” kitties!
