My 2011 Calendar, and My Latest Pledge!

November 5, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat18 Comments

Look what showed up on my doorstep!

I think I know that kitty!

It’s my 2011 Wall Calendar! My last two calendars have been award winners in the annual Cat Writers Association contest, and I think this one is my best yet!

I am telling my human a couple of things need to be tweaked in Photoshop.
 
You can get it at CafePress!

Each month has a different photo of me and some of my words of feline wisdom — but this time around there is something even cooler!

This is October - see how I had to suffer to make this calendar great?

This year, I am donating one dollar from each calendar sold to Rikki’s Refuge! I have mentioned Rikki’s Refuge before — they are an all-species, no-kill sanctuary in Virginia that helps a lot of special needs creatures. A few weeks ago, I interviewed one of their adoptable special needs kitties, Pepper, for the BlogPaws Be the Change Challenge. I chose Rikki’s Refuge because they are a wonderful place that helps lots of animals, but also because on October 1, they were robbed. The CEO’s identity, refuge financial information and mail were stolen. Money that went directly to care for the animals was taken. A lot of very nice humans stepped up and helped them out, but as you might imagine, it was an awful mess and they are still recovering from this trauma. So I want to help them out even more. In fact, I am also putting a donation widget on my blog for the whole month of November (scroll up and look to your right) so you can give them few dollars any time you want — your money will go directly to them!

So buy my calendar or donate through the widget — either way, you will be helping Rikki’s Refuge!

    We hope you sell lots of calendars and make lots of green papers for Rikki’s Refuge. We think it was very mean of that person to steal from them.

    Your calendar looks beautiful Sparkle! We’re sorry to hear that mean people did those terrible things to Rikki’s Refuge. It’s nice of you to help out. Our mommy donated to them when you had them on your blog again. We’ll have to see if she has more money to give.

    We hope those nasty thieves get something nasty done to them – it would serve them right for being so evil. We hope they get sent to prison for a squillion years.
    We love Sparkle’s new calendar.

    That makes me so mad that someone would take from the refuge and harm them. Unbelievable!

    Thank you for helping them out. You are a very good (and beautiful) cat Sparkle.

    How mean can people get!?!

    Your calendar looks great, Sparkle. It’s really something what you do to help out the kitties and different rescues in need. We’ll gather up some green papers too.

    Your calendar is so great. WE will gather our green papers and see what we can do. It would be fun to have Sparkle up on the wall.
    We are going to check out Rikkis refuge and do a post on some of the animals. That is horrible what happened to them.
    Take care and have a super week end.

    We luff your calendar! (and anyone who would do that to such vulnerable creatures is just rotten to the core).
