Thank you guys for coming to Love Meow. My cat Jackie, Shadow and Flip are very happy to know there are so many cat lovers out there from all over the world. It’s a pawsome feeling to see Love Meow bringing everyone together to share our stories and thoughts.

Cats are wonderful creatures and I can never get tired of telling people that. Their photos and videos keep us entertained and happy whenever we need a stress reliever. They never fail to bring joy and sunshine to our life, but we should never forget about the hundreds of thousands of homeless cats that are eager to find a permanent home.

I have covered many stories about animal rescues and shelters such as the Cat House on the Kings, Tabby’s Place, Richmond Animal Protection Society, and many more. I even got in touch with Lynea Lattanzio from the Cat House on the Kings and learned about what a dedicated animal rescuer she is. Their stories and your stories have inspired me to step up and do what I can to help.

I am a full time blogger and the staff for three loving and caring kitties. I was thinking what could I do through blogging to help raise awareness of helping animal shelters that are trying so hard to save hundreds of thousands of animals’ lives.

A woman spent 30 days and nights at the Madison County Humane Society in Anderson, Indiana to help raise funds for the animal shelter which was close to shutting down.

Rhonda Estes volunteered herself for this fundraising. She brought her pets in with her to spend the holiday over at the shelter with more than 100 cats and dogs.

According to Estes, it costs about $17,000 to $20,000 per month to keep the shelter afloat. However, due to the economy, adoption rate has decreased and more animals have been brought to the shelter. The shelter’s operation was in the red for many consecutive months.

A cat named Romeo has made history for feline-kind by raising thousands of dollars for animal shelters and rescues as a way to pay back people who helped him get a second chance at life. Romeo’s human mother, Caroline Cofer Golon, is sharing with us what life is like for a cat that lives his life for a good Cause and what this incredible kitty strives to do for the lives of his purring friends.

Tell us something about Romeo and his story. How did Romeo come into your life?

My husband and I adopted Romeo in 2005 from The Forgotten Persian Rescue & Friends in Marysville, Ohio.

From what we know, Romeo was turned into a shelter in Kentucky when he was around a year old. He was adopted but then brought back to the shelter for some reason. The shelter in Kentucky knew about The Forgotten and called to see if they wanted Romeo. Of course they did! They drove down to get him and bring him to the rescue. He was deaf in both ears and had a strange skin condition. We wonder now if these two health issues were the reason Romeo was returned to the shelter.

Have you ever attempted to eat cat food? It may sound like an unusual idea because we all know what kind of ingredients that go into a can of chicken feast (there is not a lot of chicken breast in it). It is nothing like the chicken we consume at the dinner table.

Would you dare yourself to eat cat food? Not for fun, but for charity?

Daryl Beech, a teenager from Kirriemuir, Angus, shoved a package of chicken chunks “in his mouth” in hopes of raising funds for Cats Protection to help provide food for stray and rescued feline creatures.

Beech was challenged to finish a plate of chicken chunks. By completing the entire serving, Cats Protection, the UK’s leading feline welfare charity would receive a significant amount of donation for the charitable cause.

We have seen many types of charity fundraising appeals. Having a “dare” challenge to increase the awareness was the very first.
