WAFFLES: Hey Boss! Today's the day, right?
KATIE: Today's the day.
WAFFLES: COOL! I've been waiting ALL week for today. Uh... what's today again?
KATIE: The Santa Kitty Toy Hop, Waffles. How could you forget?
The Santa Kitty Toy Hop - Bloggers Helping Homeless Cats
Cat bloggers around the world have come together to make the holidays brighter for shelter cats and the wonderful volunteers that care for them. Of course the best gift of all is a loving forever home... but while these kitties wait for that special moment when their human comes along and says, "I'm going to love you forever," we want to give them some special things to add some fun into their days.
We're very lucky here at GLOGIRLY. We've had the pleasure of working with and featuring so many wonderful products and brands. We combined some of the cool stuff we've written about with some donations of our own to come up with a very special Christmas surprise for the cats at Feline Rescue in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The LOOT!
We had to make sure Glogirly hadn't forgotten anything before she loaded up her sleigh.
• Kitty Kasa cubes, check.
• Kitty Meow cubby, check.
• Litter Lifter scoops, check.
• Glogirly gift bags, check.
• Tickle Pickles, Fat Cat Mice, Pricilla's Catnip Pillows, check, check, check.
• Treats and brushes and litter, check and check and check.
Let's Meet the CATS!
All of these beautiful cats (and many more!) are currently available for adoption at Feline Rescue in St. Paul, MN. Feline Rescue.
Founded in 1997, Feline Rescue, Inc. is a no-kill companion cat rescue organization focused on providing rescue and relief to the homeless and endangered cats in our community through programs that offer shelter, foster, social and medical rehabilitation, feral and stray management, spay/neuter subsidy and community education. WOW. You love them already, don't you?
Feline Rescue is completely volunteer-based and is funded exclusively through donations and grants. They receive no municipal, state or federal funding.
Tiger Lily is a striking black panther! Her eyes absolutely glow. She was the first to take a turn in the Kitty Meow cubby.
Fuzz the tuxedo tried to negotiate entry, but Bon Bon was claiming squatters rights.
Fuzz held onto his new Tickle Pickle toy with a firm grip. Can you say "mine"???
Blossom and Jeanette were the two resident orange GIRLS. They were endearing and full of personality. Did you know that only 20% of orange cats are girls?
Glogirly fell in love with sweet and petite Tauret. She sat and observed all the action like a perfect lady. And nuzzled up for plenty of love too. Those PAWS!!! Love.
Miss Tennessee and Bon Bon look like sisters with their beautiful markings. But it's just a coincidence! Tennessee was oh so comfortable striking a pose by the new cubes.
Giving & Smiles from 2014!
The best part of the holiday season is giving. As much as Waffles loves jonesing for more chicken, what really makes our hearts smile is being able to help cats in need and their people.
A little over a year ago, one of our favorite pet brands, Peach Industries... the kitty lounger people.. came to us with an idea. They wanted to do a giveaway that would benefit shelter cats. It was a huge hit and the inspiration for nearly every giveaway we've held on our blog since.
If you've visited us regularly, or even just entered one of our giveaways, you know that we often double the prizes so that winners can choose a shelter to also receive a prize. Sometimes the prizes are big, sometimes it's just a toy. But that single toy at the shelter is often what brings a shelter cat and their new forever person together.

There's no such thing as a donation too small.
We want to take a moment to recognize all of the generous sponsors we've had the pleasure of working with this year and tally up just how much they've helped to make a difference in the lives of shelter cats across the country.
