She doesn't blog anymore, but we met online in 1997 through MGB of all things, and we have always been inspiring one another since. This year I think (even though the donations haven't rolled in) has been the most successful. I was hoping most of all to raise awareness of the work RAPS does at it's 2 NO Kill animal shelters. The staff and volunteers provided me with stories for many of the cats I work with every Friday. There are about 900 cats that live at the Cat Sanctuary, so picking only a handful was hard. Some of the stories of how these kitties came to live in Cat Paradise are heartbreaking but inspiring because now they get to live out their lives in a wonderland for cats. Most of the cats are available to be adopted as well. In April 2009 I adopted a lovely little kitty who I renamed "Maggie the Cat". She is a joy. Thanks for posting about my cause and my work Rebecca. You should be commended for all the hard work you have put into getting your whole Vancouver Blogathon set up. Kudos.
