Two cute reasons why I would like you to support 9 Lives Orphanage NZ with your vote.
Earlier this year I was involved with helping my neighbour Laurence and his family to successfully rescue a local colony of kittens, adopting the two cuties below in the process. All the others have homes or were fostered. Many others offered their help making this possible, with 9 Lives Orphanage NZ providing wonderful support which allowed for the neutering of the kittens at minimal cost which was required for them to be fostered. I am appealing to you to support this charity in order to give them a chance to share $500,000. Let's make a difference together by voting for them at mygivingcircle.org...
It costs you nothing and votes count double this weekend, so be quick! I would love to give something back to the unsung heroes.
Mito (he is the guy on the left with the panda eyes) and Ergo (she is the cat supermodel on the right) got dealt a difficult hand at the start, but thanks to Laurence they got food in their bellies and have become beautifully socialized, high energy delights. They have gone from being wild terrified balls of fluff hiding behind the fridge to being ultimate lap cats who will sleep on you if they get the chance. They are entertainment machines as they chase each other around and make a toy out of every scrap of cardboard, milk bottle top or anything else small that moves. They are great mates each with their own very different personality. But none of this just happened, it had to be made to happen. These beautiful guys could so easily have been just another sad statistic. Like so many others are. So for the sake of all the others who have no choice in their circumstances, please support 9 Lives Orphanage NZ and other charities of your choice. Please vote. Thank you.
