SUPPORTING CAT RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS

There are those that argue that breeders deprive homes from the millions of poor kitties who need rescuing.  As in the preservation of any animal, domestic or wild, the value to society in preserving pedigreed cats should not be underestimated.  The historical preservation of pedigreed cat breeds with selective, planned breeding for desirable and predictable traits enriches our lives and assures the continuance of these beautiful animals. Claims that the organized Cat Fancy Association contributes to the problem of homeless cats in shelters is not supported by evidence.  Sound, healthy, predictable animals make joyful, lifelong pets that are less likely to be abandoned than animals obtained from other sources.  Pedigreed animals are not displacing shelter animals from potential homes.  Breeders are part of the solution not the problem.

Having said that, this certainly doesn't mitigate the fact that there are way too many destitute and homeless animals in dire need.  I've been fortunate to touch the hearts of people all over the world with my kittens through my 'Kitty Cam.'  It's been a phenomenon that I had not counted on nor foreseen.  When I lost a kitten due to a tragic accident, dozens from around the world emailed asking to donate to charities in her name.  More have also requested my suggestions for cat charities simply because they have  enjoyed Kitty Cam so much that they want to share their warmth with kitties in need.  I suggest that each person choose the charity that means the most to them, however the venues below happen to be several I've personally chosen for my own reasons. 

TLC Adoptions is a non-profit cat rescue and adoption organization in Southern California run by a wonderful veterinarian who has been very generous to me in sharing her vast knowledge in feline nutrition.   I try to give a donation from every litter to TLC Adoptions.  If you scroll down on the page linked above, you will find a "donate" button.

Benicia Vallejo Humane Society - and, of course, most areas have their own animal rescue organization.  If it's a worthy one, support it!  If not, you can help support mine ... this is one of several such local organizations in my area.

The Cat House on the Kings simply captured my imagination.  What they are doing is wonderful!  It is California's largest no-cage, no-kill, lifetime cat sanctuary and adoption center. Since its founding 16 years ago, The Cat House on the Kings has saved over 16,000 cats and 4,000 dogs (not counting the 40,000 animals they have spayed and neutered!) and currently care for more than 700 cats and kittens!

I indirectly support The Cat House on the Kings by purchasing and promoting the work of a wonderful woman who found me through my Kitty Cam.  She makes her magic sewing machine do fancy tricks, and has actually taught it to create the Mythicbells signature font, little foot print graphics, and cute kitty pictures--even though she is a DOG person!  After expenses, the proceeds that come to her through Mythicbells is donated by her to The Cat House on the Kings.  (SO, be sure to tell her you came from Mythicbells!) Her website is below.  The link takes you to the page with the "kitty stuff," however she has many other designs to choose from.  Scroll down to find Mythicbells theme items.
