Final Friday

September 14, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat32 Comments

Still undecided? Vote for me and Tabby's Place!

This campaign for Cat Ruler of the World has been intense! I’ve been up against five very worthy catidates, and I have to say, we each did a great job of promoting the rescues and sanctuaries we have been supporting! Each rescue deserves to win the big prize package, honestly. But I hope that if you are still undecided that you give your vote to me and Tabby’s Place.

Here is why I support Tabby’s Place and you should too:

Dot's got wheels! At least some of the time.

There are only a very small handful of cat sanctuaries that have the ability to offer intensive care to a kitty like Dot. Her spina bifida gives her many challenges beyond the obvious and she requires daily medical support from caring volunteers. But if you’ve seen her in action, you know that every moment and every dollar sent her way is so very worthwhile; few creatures are more inspiring than than this spirited little girl. This cart will help her get around without having to drag her back end behind her and give her a little more mobility than she had before — at least during the times she is not climbing to the top of a 7-foot cat tower! The money and goods donated to Tabby’s Place make a miracle like Dot possible.

Because in the long run, none of us catidates are in this for the glory. We’re in it to help other kitties. Other than a glamorous title, there aren’t a whole lot of benefits for any of us other than the knowledge that we have helped raised awareness for cats in need. My human, in fact, had to take time away from an important book proposal to be my campaign manager. But she loves Tabby’s Place too, so she was happy to devote her energy and limited Photoshop skills to the cause.

So I am asking you this last time: you only have one vote, so please give it to Tabby’s Place — and me! Polls are open until Midnight Pacific Time today. It will only take you five seconds — go to this link, click on the red “CLICK HERE TO VOTE” and pick Sparkle, then you are done!

    Oh my darling Sparkle, If you become Cat Ruler of the World…you won’t wreak vengeance upon me, will you? You know I loves you AND Tabby’s Place too, right? I’ll be relieved when this is all over 😉

    Sparkle, you and the other catidates have done a tremendous job raising awareness of sponsored rescues and, indeed, all rescues. All are worthy, but , in the end, we voted for you and Tabby’s place. As far as we’re concerned, effurrybody wins!

    Wow! I was just talking to a colleague about a guy in Massachusetts who makes custom wheels for dogs. It’s incredible to see them on cats too. Any and all pets should be given the chance to enjoy life to the fullest with whatever tools are available to them.

    Whoa! Someone watched Jerry Lewis a few too many times! First Brian tries intimidation and now Dot. You could’ve had me as your Campaign Manager but you didn’t pull the string, Sparkle. I was there for the taking. Seriously, best of luck. May the best kitty win! (Notice I didn’t say the best shelter cos they’re all the best.) YES WE CAT!

    Sparkle – truer words have never been spoken. The title of Cat Ruler really means little, and when the contest is over, life will continue on. But, at least we all can be very proud of the fact we raised some awareness about some very worthy shelters and promoted the fact how important it is to support these organizations. You ran a great campaign and we are very proud that you were a part of it.

    Little Dot is adorable and so fortunate. Glad you’re running to help Tabby’s Place. Good luck to all of you, and if it’s a five-way tie, all the better!

    Have a good weekend!

    Oh look at Dot with her cart. That Tabby’s place is the most wonderful place. If only we had lots of green papers so we could send money. We just hope that you win this campaign so that more kitties can have help. We sure think you ran the most wonderful campaign. Take care.

    Dot is such a pretty little lady cat and it is amazing to see her with her cart – would love to be able to see her moving round. It breaks Mum’s heart that she hasn’t enough funds to give some to all the good causes. Just hoping for enough votes being cast.

    My dear, you’ve run an excellent campaign, for an excellent cause. I only wish you all could win, you’ve all done such good (and entertaining!) jobs.

    Thank you for all you do to help those that have no one else.
