The Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary – a wonderful place and an easy way you can help

Over the past few months, I’ve been sponsoring a cat at the Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary, Inc. in North Carolina. What a wonderful place. They take in blind cats who are totally dependent on the mercy of humans and provide them a home until they can be adopted, or for the rest of their lives if they are never adopted. They do not put them down unless a medical problem comes up where it is deemed the necessary and humane thing to do. Of course they need money and they need people to adopt the cats, but for those of us who are far away or already have our max of pets they also will let you sponsor a cat! For $1 a day you can sponsor a blind kitty and provide for his/her needs. You will receive a certificate as well as pictures of “your cat,” and you’ll receive quarterly updates about the cat. In fact, every month when my Paypal money goes to the Sanctuary, I get a nice email telling me what “my” cat has been up to and how she’s doing. Then I also get pictures and newsletters each quarter. Your first name will appear on their website saying, “Sponsored by….” This would make a great gift for an animal lover of any age! If you don’t care to make an ongoing commitment like that, they also have a wish list, where you can click to purchase items they already have picked out, and you pay then the items are shipped straight to them. (That would be a lot of fun for a child or teen who is crazy about animals). Please have a look at the wonderful things going on at the Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary.  For the price of a soda or two per day, you can help an innocent creature to have a happy, comfortable life.
