My December Donation Pledge: PurrEver Ranch

December 2, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat25 Comments

One dollar from each book goes to PurrEver RanchThe 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!

    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.
