It's My 10th Gotcha Day! And I'm Having a Giveaway!

Hello, and Happy Monday! I'm very excited because I'm celebrating my 10th Gotcha Day! Okay, it was actually a couple of days ago, but I wanted to post this on a Monday so more people would see it. 

Time sure flies, because it feels just like yesterday that I came home forever. I was only about seven months old, and now I'm a mature cat (almost to be considered a senior! *shudder*) My life has been pretty amazing, and I'm grateful for every single moment of it. Mommy, Lexy, and I have accomplished so much and have helped so many cats and people over the past decade, and we're hoping to continue for the next ten years! 

It's not only my 10th Gotcha Day - it's our 10th anniversary on Facebook, which is where it all started for us. I'm going to have a giveaway here on the blog and on our Facebook page. More about that in a minute. 

I thought it would be fun to share photos of me throughout the years. I hope you enjoy them.

It's a Giveaway! 

Now for the exciting part! To celebrate my very special Gotcha Day, I'm having a giveway! I have a prize package to give to one lucky winner.

I put together some of my favorite toys and treats, and added a Lola branded tote bag. 

And.... the winner will get to choose either a Lola mug or a Lola water bottle. 

The giveaway is open to everyone everywhere, 18+ years of age, except where prohibited by law. The winners will be selected randomly by Rafflecopter and contacted via email and will have 48 hours to claim their prize. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the prize, and a new winner will be randomly selected by Rafflecopter. Please note that to qualify for the prize a comment must be left on this post. The giveaway closes on Tuesday, February 2, at 12:00 am Eastern Time.

To say thank you to our Facebook friends who have a hard time commenting on the blog, I'm giving a second prize package away on our page. So for another chance to win, enter over there. 

Now, it wouldn't be a real gotcha day celebration if I didn't raise money for one of my favorite rescues. For every comment on this post and on our Facebook post, we will donate $1 to Abandoned Angels Cat Rescue. AACR is a very small cat rehab & re-homing 501c3 non-profit in Columbus, OH, and our pal Shiloh is their spokescat. We always love helping Miss Lynda out. So please spread the word so I can donate a bunch of dollars. 

Mommy started my Gotcha Day celebration by writing about some lessons I have taught her.  I didn't know I was such a good teacher, but I'm glad I am. 

Happy, Happy Gotcha Day to me! The past ten years have been the best ever, and I definitely adopted the purrfect human and kitty sister! I'm the luckiest rescued cat ever. 

Thank you all for being my friends.
