Hot Off the Furry Press

I’ve had some interesting bits of animal news in my email recently, so thought I’d post some links to pet-related current events. Enjoy at your leisure :)

Sign the petition to declare August 15th, Happy Cat Day, courtesy of the North Shore Animal League.
Urge your state Representatives to support the Pet Animal Welfare Statute (PAWS). PAWS will make it more difficult for puppy mills to thrive, so it sounds like a good idea to me.
Email your state Representative and encourage them to support HR 817, a bill to increase the penalties for dog fighting and cock fighting.

About Me

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary on Facebook

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
