Hey Guys and Girls,

I need to ask a favour. My wife is involved with Little Paws Kitten Rescue association, I know what you thinking "I hate cats" must admit I am more of a dog person myself.

The main goal of the organisation is to remove/rescue cats from unsuitable locations and re-home them with responsible pet owners as inside pets only.

Like all nonprofit organisation money is tight. Facebook is current running a competition for $2000 in pet supplies.

I would be very grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to vote for "Terra" the Kitten that Little Paws has entered.

This is the facebook link http://bit.ly/OLfiW4

If you would like to find out more about what Little Paws does here are their details www.littlepawskittenrescue.org.au and facebook page Little Paws Kitten Rescue Association. or you can PM me and I will get the wife to answer any question.

Cheers Rodney

Hi Todd,
Thanks for helping us out. My name is Rachael, Rodney's wife. I am a volunteer at Little Paws. I foster mothers and kittens, kittens and unwell cats. I also help out with the maintenance of cleaning cages of adult cats that haven't been adopted yet. I am also involved in fundraising and care of grooming cats. Well I do a lot and help wherever I can. At the moment I have 2 mother cats with four babies each. The youngest are 4 weeks weighing about 300 grams. I also have 3 older kittens 7-8 months. Plus my own 3 cats. Where does your wife help Todd

Anyway, you're right. I hate cats. lolol

Thanks Toddie. Little Paws really does need extra help and every little bit helps. At the moment we have at least 500 kitties being fostered and even more at the centre.
Yours sincerely, Rachael.

Thank you, we all know Roofy is a big softy :)

I had to put my best mate down last year, had him for 14 years (I have always owned a dog since I was about 10 years old).

I haven't found it within me yet to get another dog, anyway there is this one kitten that Racheal brought into our house (rescued from a mentally ill person that had over 50 cats in her house) that I have bonded with.

This kitten was so scared that she couldn't stand to be in the same house with a human let alone the same room. It has taken about 3 weeks but now she feels comfortable enough to come up to me when I get home and start purring. So yes, they are great friends.

Me again Rachael,

Could you please PM me a contact for donations, name, phone, email addy, etc.

I spoke to my warehouse manager today and he said that they do donate to some adoption centres already, they donate there cat food ( Nutrience Cat Food ), Currently they only donate 2 Sydney based company's as they can pick up there order, so doesn't cost the company transport cost. But if Little Paws are currently buying there cat food then maybe it would work out cheaper to get donated some food and Little Paws just pay transport cost. Might be worth while for them to set up an account with us as we do kitty litter as well

My manager does not look after donations and was unsure about any other products but gave me the name of the persons I will have to speak about it.

Not at work tomorrow, but hopefully will get a chance to speak with them on Thursday

Cheers

Toddie

I always hated cats but we got one to eat all the little miceys around... bonded with her alright and she's great company. She is no dog though, you'll never have a better mate than a dog. Miss mine every day.

Here is a photo of mine when she was a little kitten

Hey Rodney,

Another vote from me, good luck with it, on another note my young bloke has been nagging to get a cat for the last 12 months, I've been trying to ignore his pleas but a stray turned up 3 days before his birthday in July, so we now have a cat.

And it's earned his keep already.

Hi Guys,

Just an update. The lead has swapped a few times over the last couple of day between Terra and Keira (a rescued dog).

It is turning into an epic battle between Terra and Keira a bit like the Nissan and Toyota battle.

Keira the dog being the popular Toyota (based on sales figures) and Terra being the Nissan

At times it has seemed like Keira had a large enough lead over little Terra that she didn't have a chance of getting back in front but to her credit she just keeps on plowing on (just like the mighty Nissan) and is currently back in front.

I would like to thank again all the people that have taken the time to vote.

Kind regards

Rodney
