Ten percent of the proceeds of this sale will go to benefit Oliver's Orphan Oasis. OOO is a rescue that is near and dear to our hearts.  Mommy first found out about this rescue when she started following the story of a cat on "Death Row' named Sal.  (Mommy wrote a post about him here.).  Auntie Carolyn, the owner and president of OOO, also helped Mommy when Will (Mommy's boyfriend) found a little feral kitten. Auntie Carolyn took the little baby, socialized her, and found her a forever home! 

OOO is a one woman operation, run from Auntie Carolyn's home.  We hope to raise a lot of money to help her out.

Rescue Stories: Annie - How a Poster Changed Her Life

Today we are sharing  the rescue story of Annie! Annie is the star of Annie's House Co-Starring Pierrot and we're very excited she chose to share her story with us.
Lola


In August 2011, my husband and I were going about our daily lives. We lived in California and had two ailing senior kitties that required quite a bit of care. One day, my husband went to get the mail and saw a picture posted of an orange tabby girl named Annie stating that her owners were moving and they weren't taking her with them. As much as I love cats and have a heart for all the homeless ones, I was really surprised at my husband. Not only did we have the two senior kitties, we were in a small apartment and we had one cat more than the apartments' one-cat-per-household rule. We were not looking for a third kitty. He brought her into our lives, however, by bringing that picture home.

I contacted the person listed on the ad and she said they were going to put Annie in a shelter if they couldn't find her a home but all the no-kill shelters were full. We decided to take her as an interim foster solution and try to place her in another home.

Beautiful Annie.

What I think of Daylight Savings Time

Mommy has been VERY tired this week.  She was in a training every day and worked late, but I was eavesdropping overheard her on the phone and she said she was tired because of Daylight Savings Time. I guess that's why she didn't help us with a Daylight Savings Time Post on time, or why she didn't help us with a post for Pie Day today.

(Lexy, off to the side, whispers: psssttt, Lola. It's not PIE day, it's PI Day. )

Pi Day?

(Lexy, still off to the side: Yes. Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.)

You mean I don't get Catnip Lime Pie?

I don't think I like this Pi Day.

Anyhoo, back to my original story about this Daylight Savings Time stuff.  I had a hard time waking Mommy up this morning! When I was walking all over her she said to me, she said "Lola, it's still dark out.  It's Daylight Savings Time." Hmmpppfff.  I was up and ready for the day

so I thought she should be, too.  Daylight Savings Time is cramping my style and this is what I think of it: 

Next year I think Mommy should just tell it to talk to the paw.
