Play "Santa Claws" For Homeless Cats Tenth Life Cat Tree Tenth Life Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization that provides another chance at life to injured and abused stray cats. Tenth Life's focus is on felines with extreme medical needs or ongoing health conditions that make it difficult for typical shelters and rescues to afford their care.
From December 7th-11th, Pets in the City is hosting the official "Tenth Life Shopping Days". You come to the store, pick an ornament off the tree (located in our "cat" room) and make a donation based on the suggestion on the ornament. You can choose what to donate based on your price range, or make a cash/check gift. A sweet and simple way to help out some needy kitties this season!
Cylest's Pet Cot Challenge Pet Cot Our hard-working friends at Gateway Pet Guardians are setting up an emergency shelter for the stray East Saint Louis dogs they help on a daily basis. Learn how you can help Pets in the City donate some nice pet cots (from O'Fallon based The Pet Cot Company) for their dog runs, as challenged by store manager Dawn's 16 year old daughter, Cylest: "Recently my daughter, Cylest, turned 16. Around the same time, she overheard me talking to my husband about how I wanted to do a collection at the store to purchase Pet Cots for the Gateway Pet Guardian's Emergency Shelter (which is opening in the Spring). Cylest pulled me to the side to ask me about how much was needed and asked if it would be okay if she donated some of her birthday money. What a wonderful idea!
So, we decided that not only would she donate $20, she wanted to issue a challenge at the same time. In her words, "I'm just a kid and willing to donate some of my birthday money, surely there are some other kids or adults out there that would be willing to donate $1, $5, $10 or even match my $20 so the puppies that end up in the shelter have somewhere nice to sleep." Will you accept the challenge? If so, there is a bucket next to the register you can drop your money into and a paw print you can put your name on. Please help us give the street dogs a bed to sleep in while they are at the shelter."
Home for the Holidays and Green Cleaning Event Herb'n Maid Join us Saturday, December 17th, from 11am-3pm. We'll play host to Herb'n Maid AND Tenth Life Cat Rescue, joined together for some special causes! Herb'n Maid will show you how to get your home clean for the holidays without using chemicals, and they're donating $2 from every bottle of their cleaning product sold to Tenth Life! Tenth Life will have some adorable kitties for adoption and information about their organization, so you can help give a kitty a home for the holidays. When guests come for the holidays, they shouldn't know you have a pet until they MEET the pet! Let Herb'n Maid help you figure out some green cleaning solutions.
