Shining Star


We are now the proud owners of a SNIPPET! His name is Alvin and we won him in a giveaway over at Carrie's Snippet blog! Carrie is a wonderful artist who creates these Snippets, mixed media paintings and other little treasures to sell at her Etsy shop. She is also a kitty rescuer and spay/neuter advocate who does TNR in her community. We think Carrie is a shinning star!

Carrie hopes to use her artwork not only to spread joy and fun to others, but also to promote the absolute necessity of spaying and neutering pets in order to end the tragic reality of pet overpopulation. Hence, the name, Snippets!
Through the Snippets, Carrie hopes to raise awareness about spaying and neutering and eventually create a fund that will go toward building high volume, low cost and mobile spay/neuter clinics across the country. That's the BIGdream...Snippet Mobiles and Snippet Clinics in every city! Please consider purchasing a piece of Snippet art and make that dream a reality. --From thesnippets on Etsy

We just love our snippet, Alvin! We have him high up on the shelf (out of the lady's clumsy reach) next to our "catfish creek" plate from the Cat Street Boyz. We think snippets would make great one-of-a-kind gifts for any occasion!

We think it's perfect that you would have won this considering all the awesome things you do every day for the feral cats in your area and for spreading the word to everyone else!

Congratulations, Dana!

Very cute! I love it...and why she's doing it. Sad news about Max, he passed away this morning. More about it on my blog. Thanks for the purrs and prayers.

Zeus said...

It's awesome when a great cause and a great idea collide. The Snippets are very cute, though at first, I thought he was a Christmas decoration. Ha!

I think Carrie may definitely be on to something here. Many people in the blogosphere, particularly our community, would sweep these up. This could be the next big thing after the Squillions!

How absolutely adorable! Congratulations on the new arrival.
