DONATING STUFF YOU DON'T WANT ANYMORE


If any of you have any old items you want to get rid of, consider donating them to the ASPCA Thrift store.

You list your item(s) in the store, the buyer pays shipping, ASPCA provides you with a prepaid shipping label and you just have to get it to the Post Office or have it picked up with your mail. There is even a link to request a USPS pick-up.  It’s tax deductible and a great way to help the animals. The minimum amount must be at least $5. 

They have some nice affordable things for sale as well if you want to shop.  Jewelry, purses, clothing and not everything is used. There are even paintings from an artist who has painted covers for Time Magazine.  If you have large items, you can also arrange to have them picked up from your house.  To read more on donating or to start shopping – click here:  http://aspca.webthriftstore.com/about

OUR NEW KITTY CONDO




Georgie and Joey love their new kitty condo.  Although Georgie hasn’t quite figured out that you’re supposed to sleep in the enclosure.

I bought it so they could use it as stairs to the window bed since I gave away my weight bench, which they were using. And hopefully, they’ll use the scratch post…. anything to entertain and keep them off the furniture.   They think my couch and chair are a jungle gym.

I have sprayed eucalyptus on the furniture, sprayed the cats  w/water when I catch them and now I have packaging tape on all the legs.



I might get a taller one with larger perches to put
 in the den if they keep using this one. I already
have 2 scratch boxes and a post downstairs.
Gives new meaning to the term Animal House.
