“Do Good” Alert – Thanks for helping!
As many of you know from my e-newsletter, Joe and I adopted two formerly feral cats from the Clark County Humane Society in January. This is Sunshine. It’s unbelievable how sleek and sassy she has become in such a short time. Both Sunshine and Sparky are cats that need lots of interesting things to do; I could write a book about cat toys made from boxes, tissue paper, etc. What joy they bring to our home.
This hardworking no-kill (or adoption guarantee) shelter is seeking to build an addition to rehab puppies rescued from puppy mills through the Refresh Everything online competition. I hope you will make your way over and vote today and every day until July 31.
Sunshine is sitting on one of our favorite snuggle quilts made by my sister, Nancy. She also made this quilt:
which she donated as a fundraiser for my Mom’s Ladies Aid. I love Church Ladies; they are such dedicated do-gooders. The quilt is all quilt shop fabrics and a super queen (almost king) sized. The suggested donation is $5 for 6 tickets; contact me at Virginia(at)VirginiaSpiegel.com
You can do PayPal or we can chat about other arrangements.

Lynn Krawczyk curates Breaking Traditions, an exhibit of 12×12″ art quilts, each year and donates $10 of the $15 entry fee to a good cause. The good causes this year are Art Now for Autism, founded by artist Claudine Intner, and Autism Speaks. Deadline for entry is August 21, 2010.
I am more than happy to promo this exhibit as the 2008 exhibit raised $1085 for my Fiberart for a Cause and the American Cancer Society.
Wendy – Good on you! Ferals are just totally different cats, but so sweet. I find the subordinate cat always chows down even if there is plenty of food and the other cat isn’t even in the vicinity. I can’t blame any of them for being a little nervy about their next meal. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Sweet Kitty! Don’t be surprised if both yours are a bit food-obsessed. three of our 4 were strays that showed up on the back porch at various times, and the most feral of the four eats as though every meal might be his last opportunity for food. If the bowl is empty in the morning he looks convinced that he will waste away on the spot immediately! Rather unlikely; at his last vet visit, he weighed 13 lb 6 oz. Never met a meal he wouldn’t eat.
