Hello sweet ones! A worthy cause indeed!
ReplyDeleteThese are such wonderful ideas. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Speedy!
That was terrific info Speedy!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat suggestions.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that has made me very happy as I've read these posts is I don't remember the last time I saw a puppy for sale in a pet store here. As a child almost every mall had a store that displayed various breeds for sale, but those are long gone. There is one pet store that hosts cats from a rescue to give them exposure and some still sell fish and small animals, but I can honestly say I don't remember the last time I saw puppies or kittens being sold in a pet store and that is progress.
Just came back for my cuteness!
ReplyDeleteSQUAAAAAWK! Kaci and Kali are both dogs that came from a kill shelter where they were on the "list".

You know that I'm not an adopted cat Speedy. But I don't come from a shop or from a cat's mill. I am an Aby. In France there is no such thing for us.
ReplyDeleteMy human is vegetarian and eats just organic food. It's very important to do it.

PS : I love the picture with the dog and the cookies. So cute !
Of course Hisia,Kitties like you have to come from respected cat breeders ,which there is nothing wrong with,and France has it right no puppy or kitty mills,and that is how it should be in every country,xx Rachel
