Boys Of Summer

Here is our Surfin' Safari entry for Baby Patches contest giveaway! If you'd like to vote for us, you can do so HERE! Thanks!

So, our servants are on staycation from their day jobs this week. This does not mean they are on staycation from working for us.... hope they know that! Anyhoo, we'll be around, but probably not as much, so please don't forget about us! Purrs!

Let It Ride - Updated, links now working

On August 1st, our friend and local biologist, Paul Rudershausen will embark on a cross-country bike ride to benefit the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. Paul's journey will begin in Coos Bay, Oregon (Cory Cat's home state) and will take him through a dozen states and over 3000 miles to his final destination of Atlantic Beach, NC.

Paul has been a dedicated OWLS volunteer for three years. He's taking this journey at his own expense and all donations will go directly to the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. His goal is to raise $10,000 to help improve the facilities and to fund the construction of a large mammal cage.

There are several ways you can support Paul's cause:
•Make a secure online donation at pedal4wildlife.org
•Follow Paul's journey via his blog
•Join Paul's cause on facebook
•Tell your friends about his incredible journey
•Volunteer at OWLS

Check out the media coverage:

We hope everyone will follow Paul and cheer him on during his incredible journey for wildlife. Chances are he will be riding through a town near you! Go Paul Go! Go Paul Go!

OWLS is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charitable organization whose mission is to rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned animals and teach the public how to coexist peacefully with wildlife.

See you at the bridge, sweet Max! Give Cal nosetaps for us!

Happy 4th of July weekend to all!

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!

The Good Life - Two-fur Tuesday

Sebastian and Reilly Update

We are happy to report Sebastian and Reilly are progressing wonderfully. They've been here two weeks now and they're really enjoying the good life, you know, like having their meals delivered, round the clock maid service, and all the toys a kitty could want. Sebastian is more of a love kitten than Reilly and Reilly acts more playful than Sebastian. Reilly still hides under the bed quite a bit and Sebastian has started playing with Maggie May under the door.The lady did find the secret to making Reilly purr........ FOODS!

Between The Sheets - Movie Monday

We know what your thinkin'.......
now get your head outta the gutter! LOL

Pictures Of Lily

Some totally pawsome news......

The 5 remaining kittens are no longer orphans! They have a momma to take care of them now, her name is Lily! The BCCP president located a lactating female to act as a surrogate for the kittens. Isn't that the most wonderful news?

Lily's thinking......wait......what?

She is nursing and washing them in addition to her one kitten. Lily was pregnant when she was rescue from the shelter by a very nice lady. That lady is so nice that she has taken the 5 kittens into her home so Lily can nurse them.

Look closely and you will see Lily's white kitten.

Magic Man

~Mystery Update~ The Magical Mystery Tour has ended

after a Magic Carpet Ride to his new forever home!

Mystery is now known as Magic and he has moved in with a lady and her two woofies! He was only an office cat for a few days when one of the ladies who worked there decided she wanted to take him home for the weekend...... now he's living the good life on the inside!

She said he is the sweetest boy and just adores ear and neck scritches. We are so happy for Magic and his new family. Wow, what a happy ending! Cal certainly had a paw in this success story!

Unfortunately, we do have some sad news to report.

One of the orphaned 6 left for the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was the lady's favorite and she misses him very much. We're sure Cal was waiting to show him the way.

Please everyone rev up your purring motors for Bear and Laska! Please purr for these two woofie's safe return!
