Sunday Selfie and More………..

Posted on August 9, 2015 by onespoiledcat

First things first – here’s my contribution to the Sunday Selfies Blog Hop by The Cat On My Head! Can’t miss this “hop” – it’s fun to see everyone’s selfies on Sunday!

This is me with my “mini-me” doing a double selfie!

Click their badge to see other selfies!

Secondly although I normally don’t include other things on my Sunday Selfie, this is a little bit special so allow me to just mention that when we first read about “Bootsie” – the cat who was abandoned by his humans when they packed up and moved away leaving him behind on his own, it touched us. All stories like this touch us all – we all care about every animal we read about that’s in need and we’d like to help EVERYONE……………but when we learned there would be an Auction to benefit Bootsie, Mom and I decided to donate one of her kids’ books – “Feral’s Rainbow Forest Family” to the auction.

The auction will start today, August 9th and you’ll be able to see everything that’s up by going to http://earsforbootsie.blogspot.com.nz/ It may take them a while to add items to the auction so check back frequently please!

Thank you Miss Ann at Zoolatry for this sweet badge for Bootsie!

Bootsie is in need of surgery……….and the auction will help but so does contributing if you can to the special fund Brian Frum set up through the below:

http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser-widget.aspx?frid=404486

Click on the picture and read Bootsie’s story and give any amount you can. It all helps.

Thanks to Dash Kitten.com and Brian for caring enough to do this on Bootsie’s behalf…….

Here’s hoping Bootsie gets the help he needs AND a forever home – a REALLY forever home where he won’t be discarded and left behind – ever again.

Love, Sammy

That is a great double selfie Sammy! It is very sad that Bootsie was callously deserted by his owners. I am going to get mum to look to see what she can donate.

Sammy, we love your selfie, and that was so nice of you to post about Bootsie. Mom sent some money and put his You Caring donation button on our sidebar. She hopes to have some things for the auction and maybe find some things to bid on as well. What happened to Bootsie is just so sad and WRONG! Thanks so much for continuing to join our blog hop.

  I think a lot of peeps will be on the Bootsie bandwagon….I hope so…..it breaks my heart that he’d already had other homes before he got abandoned and people just didn’t CARE. He deserves a “happily ever after” if ever a kitty did.

We are late here (due to hosting the auction!!) and we are very VERY grateful for you terrific book which has bids on it!!! We are grateful for your including Bootsie’s details. We aim to do our best, and we will push hard, as we suspect there may be a small underestimate in his vet fees. We can cope, we will manage! THANK YOU!!
