On April 29, 2010, Feline Friends was fortunate to be chosen to be the beneficiary of a fundraiser. Local business owner, Kerry Miller, of Kitty Litter Deliver, organized the whole event with a lot of help from Tina Valant. (Tina, this is the not the first time you've stepped in and helped us with the important things...like the details, and we are so grateful to you. Everyone has raved about the catnip toys!) Kerry's wife, Heather, was also our hero that night. Her skills blew us away. Literally! She had to register everyone in a wind tunnel and I don't know how she did it, but she did a great job! The Whale restaurant provided the venue and even donated 10% of their food sales during the event. We raised just under $2000 that nightWe also had a lot of fun! It was better than a high school reunion, but similar because we saw friends from near and far. We dined and visited with twelve years worth of Feline Friends! Thank you to everyone who helped get so many nice raffles prizes donated for the event. We can't wait to do something like this again, but we don't want you to get sick of us either, so we'll try to keep a nice balance.

KITTY LITTERWell, not just because he helped us, (but it is nice to support businesses who give back to local shelters and rescue groups!) Here are my feelings about this delivery service. My least favorite part of grocery shopping has always been buying litter. It's heavy and awkward. I always need two large containers that take up almost the whole shopping cart. Then I have no room for my groceries. My cart is so heavy that I can't steer it easily anymore. I still have to get it scanned loaded into my trunk and then unloaded again at home. The Easy Clean litter that Kerry delivers is cheaper than the name brand litter I normally buy. It's less dusty. The delivery is free. It magically appears at your front door, or if you are home, he will put it exactly where you need it. One forty pound bag is $15.99 but who needs just one? If you get two or more they're $14.99. And it's not like litter goes bad. I get four bags at a time and then am good for a couple of months. Why would anyone not do this So, I wasn't trying to write a commercial, but those are my true feelings about a great way to deal with a not very enjoyable part of my life.
