See the inquisitive little doll above? His name’s Lyle (is that a great name or what?!?!). He, along with 138 other precious cats were recently rescued thanks to compassionate cat lovers such as Lyle’s new parents. ASPCA does so much for animals and has been responsible for so many animal lives saved and human lives touched that I’m sure there’s a special place in Heaven for each member.
Lyle was one of the cat’s rescued and now…. you’ll love this… has his very own room, filled with cat trees. Lyle’s living the good life now and I have a feeling his new family couldn’t be happier.
To read more about Lyle and this recent effort, please visit ASPCA’s News page – it’s currently the second story down.
Don’t you just love happy endings?!?!
ASPCA and Walmart Ask You to Lend a Paw
One of my absolute favorite organizations is ASPCA. As an animal lover extraordinaire, I absolutely love all that they do for helpless little animals. That’s why I follow their trail of good deeds and try to bring them to your attention!
Please read the following and help ASPCA and Wal-Mart as they try to help as many precious animals as possible. I already loved Wal-Mart, but I do even more so now.
From ASPCA:
Approximately five to seven million adoptable dogs and cats enter animal shelters nationwide each year. Of those, approximately three to four million are needlessly euthanized simply due to a lack of space or resources to adequately care for them.
Overpopulation is the leading cause of unnecessary euthanasia. This is largely due to an inadequate number of spayed and neutered pets, even among those living with otherwise responsible pet parents. Experts estimate that half of all puppies and three-quarters of all kittens born in the U.S. are the result of unplanned litters.
Walmart® is proud to support the ASPCA® in our goal to save and improve the lives of millions of pets nationwide, and to help raise awareness around the importance of adoption and spay/neuter. Walmart is showcasing its partnership with the ASPCA and celebrating Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month throughout April, culminating with a special event on May 1 in Miami, Florida. The event will raise awareness and funds for the ASPCA, Miami Humane and Miami Animal Control Services.
Through the support of key pet suppliers, Walmart will host a fun walk and Pet Care Fair in Bayfront Park. Sponsor tents featuring educational seminars, information and giveaways will be available throughout the event, along with main stage performances and family fun. Education and community support through programs like the Pet Care Fair play a large role in preventing unwanted litters and increasing the number of pet sterilizations.
You can get involved, too! Animal lovers everywhere are encouraged to visit www.facebook.com/lendapaw and help “Lend a Paw” to support the ASPCA’s goal to save and improve the lives of millions of animals nationwide. When visitors click on the “Create a ‘Lend a Paw’ Post” button, Walmart, through the generous contribution of key pet suppliers, will donate $1 for each post (for a total donation of up to $100,000). All funds raised go to support the life-saving missions of the ASPCA and its local partners.
Also: ASPCA was selected as one of 49 charities to participate in Members Project®, an exciting new promotion from American Express® and TakePart. As part of the promotion, they need you to vote for the ASPCA EVERY WEEK at takepart.com/membersproject/vote – this will help them win $200,000 to help animals in need!
They’re currently in the lead – but there are only about 5 weeks left, so every vote really counts!
Also from ASPCA… Go Orange!
To commemorate Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month this April, our corporate partners are “Going Orange” to celebrate the ASPCA’s victories on behalf of animals. ASPCA partner Red Lion Hotels has selected one of its flagship properties, the Red Lion Hotel at the Park in Spokane, WA, to light up orange for the entire month. In addition, Subaru of America, Inc., Clorox, the makers of Fresh Step® cat litter, Brown Cow® All Natural Yogurt, and Dyson® will be supporting an ASPCA Spay/Neuter Block party in New York City as well as pet adoption and wellness events in Tampa, FL (April 24), and Dallas, TX (May 1). For more information about the ASPCA’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month celebrations and how you can get involved and be a voice for animals this April, please visit AspcaApril.org.
