Our animal shelter needs your help!
 

Friskas is giving away grants of $10,000 to ten animal shelters accross the country, and ours is one of the 20 finalists. The money would be used to make a new area for abandoned cats and kittens.

Our shelter really could use this money. They are so low on funds that they are thinking of shutting down the cat area completely.

If you would like to help our shelter out by voting, go to www.friskies.com to vote. You have to click on the link with LeAnn Rimes face, and that will take you to the voting.

Of course, you can vote for whichever shelter you choose, but ours is the shelter in Council Bluffs, IA.

Please visit the site and vote for a shelter (maybe even ours!).

edit: fixed link

The link doesn't go to Friskas :(

Here you go: http://www.friskies.com/

Or Friskies

I went ahead and voted for your shelter

you got your vote.... (man, they make you work for it...)

Thanks!

And thanks for the correct link, too. That's the second time I have done that today!

Done. I hope you win!

Another vote for you :)

I voted for yours since no other animal centers where local to me.

Wow, they certainly do make you work for it...

You got my vote, but I'll call and demand that my vote be changed if you don't keep us updated on wheter or not you get it :D

I had every intention of voting for you but saw one here in NJ and had to go that route.

I will definitley inform you of the results as soon as I hear anything!

Got another vote for you. No shelters that are relatively close.

Based on the email that's sent -- looks like it's a vote early, vote often proposition. So tune in tomorrow and vote again?

I will definitley give it a try again.

Voted for ya, even though the Meriden CT one is close to where i grew up. =)

Another vote for you, no matter who gets it. Its a great help.

Would've voted for you, but there is one in Golden, not too far from me.

man, that's tough. i want all of them to get the money. :-( but you got my vote since you asked. i'm sure that all ten of the shelters that get the money will deserve it.

Yes, it is true. I have sucessfully voted again.

I wonder if they take into consideration the size of the towns. I know that some of the towns in the running are considerably bigger than ours, and that would obviously hinder voting.

I was going to vote for yours, but then I saw one in the local area (Golden) and just had to vote for that one first. I'll just have to get on and vote for yours tomorrow.:)

You have my vote.

Done.

Consider it done. I have a soft spot for cats - our oldest is a shelter cat, and our younger one is a rescued stray. We have a host of dumpster cats living outside our office :( and I'm thinking of contacting one of the local feral spay programs to get humane traps.

I hope your shelter wins!

Good God that was a bit o' work.

Yours is voted for.

Got it done. I've got two cats and a dog I got from the CB pound so I'm happy to do it.

Post in exhibition again and then I'll vote.

:D

Yet another vote for you.

Not sure where the hell council bluffs is but I voted for you good luck :)

(Why I voted I don't know personally don't like cats lol)

What quadro2000 said ^ ^ ^ lol

I'll tell you what. If our shelter gets the money, I promise I will bare them for you in exhibition.

Only kidding Rubyee, I voted...

goodluck

Got my vote.

Hey- I will do whatever it takes. I love animals and the shelters that take care of them!

another vote for ya

voted

tok me 5 tries to get the letter verification right!!!!
if wernt fot the cute kitties, i would have given up

Well, you've got my vote, my family just picked up a stray cat, that makes 4 for us. Good luck!

And yeah, I think they need to make that word verification a little easier, damn.

You got it Toyota!

Ruybee, if it's any of my business, how do you guys support the shelter. We have a wonderful "no kill" one close by, and it seems to be most successful, but works an "angle" to finance the operation. I'm sure if you would PM "anitra" she could give you more details, as she has been involved in its promotion over the years.

The shelter in Wichita County - Wichita Falls, TX looks to be in pretty bad shape, but they all look really cold and uncomfortable.

Then again, it's a place to stay and ideally just a temporary holding area until they find a home.

I voted, and wish you luck.

Voted...

Wow that site made me sad. :(

Good argument for spaying and neutering IMO

I voted, but it almost seems unfair that they don't all get the money. Dammit.
