Artsy-Catsy is having a big fundraiser sale on brand new products – cat charm hairbands and keychains – to raise funds for Beau and Moki, and for my Callie, too, who really needs to see the vet. The sale will last through November 7.

Artsy-Catsy’s Callie is 18 years old and has recently lost a lot of weight. Please keep her in your purrs and purrayers… KC

Today we begin a raffle on my bloggie fur a beautiful Gizzy Quilt. It would make the bestest holiday gift ever. 100% of the ticket sales will go to Moki, Criz and Beau. Come and behold the magnificence that is the Autumn Gizzy.

Beau and Mom Cathy are auctioning a gorgeous bracelet and earring set to help Criz and the J Family. 

About our fundraisers. Fundraisers offered by Furriends of the Cat Blogosphere are brand new, handcrafted and unique items you will not find anywhere else. The quality is great; you receive an item that will make a cherished gift (if you can part with it); the cost is used to help sick cats and critters get well; you get to shop in the comfort of your own home, in your pjs at 3 a.m. if you like; and you don’t even have to mail the gift. How cool is that????

Another coupon for PetSmart! This is for $10 off a $50 or more purchase and includes food items. It ends on November 12th. Thanks, Peggy.

NAVS info on the pet food recall at Walmart from Norma:
