They are beautiful Margaret thank you so much

It's amazing that they have survived so many years.

Lots of yummy goodies!! Many forum members have kitties too, or have family members with kitties, this would be a lovely Christmas present for that special furry person!

Alternatively it would be lovely to win and donate to a rescue...gives you a warm cosy feeling inside too

Sadly the cat rescues are completely overwhelmed here in the UK [so I guess in other countries too] I've heard that some of the big cat rescues are not only full but have a 4 month waiting list for cats to come in

as people are just not adopting cats.

We have a really bad cat over population here too. Shelters are always full of cats. All 4 of mine were rescues. I also have my friends 2 kitties here for an unspecified amount of time. They lost there house and were nearly forced to send the kitties away to a kill shelter

Wasn't about to let that happen so the kitties are residing here until they owners are back on there feet. Thankfully things are looking up and they should have a new place in a few months.

You gave me a good idea too.... One last item for the auction

Highest bidder gets a lot of 25 home made Fleece catnip cat toys to be donated to the shelter of your choice. If you want to give them to the shelter yourself I will mail them to you. If you would prefer I can mail them directly to the shelter. I just ask that they get sent to a shelter/rescue. Toys are small 3-5 inches in size and vary in color/shapes. All the toys are filled with fresh catnip. My cats go nuts over these! Winning bidder pays shipping.

Here is an example of toys from a previous lot I made:

Shipping is:
$2.22 to USA
$3.02 to Canada
$6.07 to Europe & Australia

I've reset permissions so only you can see the threads Nicki-- just to keep it fair while you set up the categories, and enable the whole auction at once.
