Pets
January is a tough time for shelters. Puppies and kittens are a popular gift for Christmas, but by the time January and February roll around, local shelters are hit by a wave of unwanted Christmas presents. When the novelty of the gift wears off, puppies and kittens are unloaded on shelters in droves, often overwhelming them.
I got my cat from a shelter, and I've been planning on making a large donation to the shelter I got her from. Here she is, by the way.
If you'd like to join with me and contribute to the shelter, I am selling metal customs of the above Oske lineart for $10.00. Half will go to the shelter I'm donating to. With your purchase you'll be sent this item, which you can use to upload your kitty in a box:
Shelter Hearts
If you have a shelter in your town, consider stopping by and giving them a donation - money, pet food, anything you can afford. Right now, they really need it.
Please don't donate to the huge national organizations like Humane Society (do some research on them). They don't help your local shelter.
Thanks.

We got our kitty from a shelter. Shelter pets are really the best way to go.

Thank you so much! I know my group (Rpaw.org) has taken in quite a few kittens this week, and my job over at animal human society is getting a ton of drop offs as well. Plus we have calls on more. It's really sad people get pets just for x-mas and dump them shortly after ;(

Yes, half, since the pet itself and the item cost money to create.

Aw how sweet, this makes me wish I had extra to give! My parents and I spend probably around $60-100 a month on food for 15-20 (Depends on the day for how many are there) stray cats that live in our neighborhood.

We adopted a lot of our animals from shelters/rescue groups, and the one dog that we didn't adopted we got him from a family that was going to give him to a shelter. I'll see if I'm able to donate to this. c: It's a wonderful cause. We got one of our dogs last summer because the shelter was overflowing, and she would've been put down otherwise.

Aw! This makes me wish I was able to give money over the Internet.
