It’s me—Mittens!  You might remember me as one of the adorable furballs who once roamed the halls of The Scratching Post, waiting for my forever home.  Well, I’m writing to you from my cozy corner of the world, where I’ve been living the good life thanks to the incredible care and love I received at the shelter.

 

I have some exciting news to share with you!  My human has pledged a generous matching donation of up to $20,000 in memory of Socks, a beloved member of our family who lived to be 21 years old.  That means every dollar you give could be doubled, raising a total of $40,000 for The Scratching Post.  How amazing is that?!

 

I wanted to share Socks' and my stories because they represent all the love and hope that The Scratching Post brings to cats like us.  Originally built in 1956 and modified to be a cat shelter in 2008, the building is starting to need a little TLC to stay in top shape for all the kitties who rely on it.  Your donations through this challenge will go directly into a building maintenance fund for this wonderful space so that it can keep providing food, shelter, medical care, and love to countless furry friends.

 

I know that times can be tough, but even the smallest gift makes a difference.  Every dollar counts, and together, we can help ensure that The Scratching Post continues to be a sanctuary for all the furry friends still looking for their forever families.

 

And for every $50 you donate; you’ll be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $200 VISA gift card!  There’s no limit on entries, so every multiple of $50 (1 chance for $50, 2 chances for $100 etc) gives you more chances to win.  The challenge ends on December 31st, 2024, so there’s still time to help us reach our goal!

 

So, let’s do this together!  Join me in supporting The Scratching Post and helping my friends still at the shelter find their own forever homes.  If you can, please consider making a donation to help reach our goal—because when we work together, we can truly make a difference!

 

Thank you for all your love and support. I wouldn’t be here without you!

Paws and purrs,
Mittens 🐾
