An Important Announcement


WAFFLES:  Um, hello?  Is anybody there?  Um, Boss?  I forget my line.

KATIE:  CATHY KEISHA!!!


CATHY KEISHA:  YO! It iz with great pleasure that I introdeuce you to our new Cat Ruler Of The World. Everyone! ...give it up for KATIE!

(apaws, apaws, crowd goes wild)



KATIE:  On behalf of Glogirly and me, I’d like to thank all of you amazing cats, humans, goats, squirrels, bunnies, birds and dogs out there for supporting Blind Cat Rescue and Team Katie in the Campaign For A Cause - Cat Ruler Of The World Contest.  

I’d also like to thank my fellow candidates.  Glogirly and I have the utmost respect and admiration for each and every one of you and the deserving shelters you support.  To Deb Barnes and Team ZeeZoey, Holy CAT!  Your creativity and passion knows no boundaries. But please Deb, you know how I feel about those cat ears.

I want to give a special shout-out to Waffles the intern and Cathy Keisha, my stunning campaign manager and confidante.  You two sure know how to make your mews heard. And a big round of purrs for Homer the Blind Wonder Cat.  We love you.

From the outside looking in, our quirky campaign may have seemed like it was all about fun and games and pink platform sandals. But underneath all that were the kitties of Blind Cat Rescue.  Underneath the silly imagery and funny anecdotes were the homeless blind cats with no place to go, cats that have been abandoned and forgotten.  THEY are the real winners today.  And the truly remarkable humans that dedicate their lives to helping them…THEY are the heroes.

To Alana Miller, the human behind Blind Cat Rescue, we thank YOU.  The world is a better place for blind and homeless cats because of you. And because of you, the WORLD is a better place.


WAFFLES:  Um, Boss? We got a special message from Blind Cat Rescue. Can I read it?

KATIE:  Do you know how to read?


CATHY KEISHA:  Waffles, just hold onto the card and don't drop it.

"Thank you so much to all of our supporters that worked so hard voting and sharing for Blind Cat Rescue to win this wonderful prize!! We are humbled at everyone's kindness and taking time out of their busy schedules to vote and share. This prize will help us supply the cats with the daily necessities and helps us stretch our funds for other needs. We are so grateful to Glogirly for believing in us, nominating us and working so hard to help us win."
~ Alana Miller, Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary

BUT WAIT!  THERE'S MORE!***
All five runners-up shelters in the contest have been awarded a generous gift of 1,000 meals from Halo Pets! My fellow candidate, Austin of CATachresis, is located across the pond and since the meals can't be shipped to the UK, Zee & Zoey are having a GIVEAWAY!  They will be awarding the 1,000 meals to a US (501c) shelter based on YOUR comments! Winning shelter will be determined with a random drawing. Just one comment/shelter per person, so get your friends to help!

BUT WAIT!  THERE'S EVEN MORE!!!***
Zee & Zoey will also be giving away FIVE $20 GIFT CARDS from Meow.com for randomly drawn reader comments.

***This is all happening on the Zee & Zoey blog, so be sure to teleport over and leave a comment with the shelter you'd like to see win the 1,000 meals.

    Is it too early to jockey for the position of Secretary of State or Vice Ruler? Just axing.

    Let the next campaign begin. Sigh! It's always something.
