The votes are in and you told me you want PurrEver Ranch Sanctuary to be my Donation Pledge for December! I think this is an excellent choice. For those of you who don’t know, PurrEver Ranch is based in Somerville, TN, and was founded by one woman whose mission was to rescue those kitties who no one else wanted — senior kitizens, abandoned and abused kitties, and other cats who would have been euthanized in a kill shelter if she had not come along and saved them. Rita commits to these cats for life — something that no one else did.
PurrEver Ranch relies on donations to get by, and right now they are very badly in need. The owner of their property died and advisors have told his widow to sell. As a result they will need a new home very soon. This is on top of their everyday expenses — food, housing supplies and veterinary care for all the cats who call PurrEver Ranch their home. My donation pledge is really only a small drop in the bucket for this cat sanctuary, but I am hoping that you will help spread the word and that Rita and the kitties will get the help they need.
Now for my pledge: for the whole month of December, one dollar from the sale of every copy of either of my books, Dear Sparkle: Cat-to-Cat Advice From the World’s Foremost Feline Columnist
or Dear Sparkle: Advice From One Cat to Another,
bought through any of the Amazon links on my site, will be donated to PurrEver Ranch. That is the best way for me to keep count. If you buy a copy in a bookstore or from a different link, you will have to let me know you did so I can count it towards my donation. My books make great stocking stuffers for the holidays! You can also donate directly to PurrEver Ranch through the ChipIn widget on my sidebar. In fact, there is a widget to my latest book right next to it so you can do both!
Let’s make a difference for PurrEver Ranch this month, and help these kitties have a good Christmas!
See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
You are doing noble work.
I would like to see a book in Russian.
Our country is very popular cat theme.
I would love to see my books go to a Russian market too!
Dearest Sparkle,

You are doing such a good thing, Sparkle. So many kittycats are in need, and this will help many.

Sparkle, you are AN ANGEL!!! We hope lots and lots and lots of people buy your books so that you can donate lots of money to Purrever Ranch!! What a wonderful and noble gesture you are making. Bravo, bravo, bravo!!! Mega-purrs to you from the three of us – Lautrec, Tiny and Ellwood
That was a good place to give help.
Yay for Purrever Ranch. I hope lots of Humans give those books for Chrissymouse!
This sounds like a great organization and it is so nice of you to help them out. I hope you sell LOTS of copies of your book!
Such a worthy cause Sparkle!
Excellent choice Sparkle, I just love what they do!
You are a wonderful cat Sparkle.
Dood, this is awesome. I gotta ask, though, is there any way you can sell some pawtographed copies? I would totally get that for a couple of people…
I could mail you pawtographed bookplates if you buy them. In fact, I was going to mention that I would do that for free for this month (i.e., you don’t have to send me an SASE, and the postage is on me), but I wanted to keep the post as simple as possible.
Sparkle, you are such a thoughtful kitteh!
Good luck raising money, Sparkle — that organization does fantastic work!
We purray you will be greatly blessed Sparkle!!!!!!!!!!

Good for Purrever Ranch!
A great cause, Sparkle! We are going to break into our piggie bank and see what we can do to help.
ps-thanks for the bookmark!
Yous is a good cat Sparkle. Wes thinks of cats in need too and our Mommy gives 10% of all her cat paintings to a no kill foundation in Calgary, AB. She also gives them paintings for their special fundraisers. Me was in the last one and me felt so honored!
Mes will tells everybody about yous!
