Some of you may know that I work with a cat rescue group. We're in a "public support" contest -- if we can get the most people to vote for us, the group will receive a $10,000 donation. Please take just a minute and vote for Stray Cat Blues! Thanks! Bill ---------- Forwarded message ---------- The contest runs through January 31st, 2009 http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/74572/?refer=17035.15.1228322838.6765 America's Favorite Animal Shelter - A New Year of Hope for Animals Over 7 million adoptable dogs and cats are put to sleep each year due to overpopulation. Local animal shelters and rescue groups, the animal welfare heroes of our communities, are already under stress due to the economic crisis, and pet abandonment rates always rise after the Christmas holidays. "A New Year of Hope for Animals" is the second America's Favorite Animal Shelter contest sponsored by Care2.com and Adopt-a-Pet.com. We aim to offer hope and help this holiday season to shelters and rescue groups who work tirelessly to care for homeless animals. Care2 will donate a total of $25,000 to local animal shelters and rescue groups! * The 20 groups with the most votes at the end of the contest will win prizes! * Grand prize: $10,000 * Second and third place: $1,000 * The groups that place 4th through 20th will each win $500. Every week, a randomly selected participating group (five or more votes that week) will win $500. -- Psst... Hey, you... Buddy...
