On Saturday, June 9th, I will be attending a very special event near and dear to my heart. The Freeport Humane Society will be holding a Pet-A-Thon. The charity event hopes to raise awareness of dogs and cats in need of good loving homes. I will be at the event with a table full of books for sale. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the charity organization to help with funding for food, cleaning products, facility care and veterinarian services. Also, I will be raffling off a basket full of the latest romance novels from the coolest authors! So if you are in the New York Metro Area and are looking for love, you need look no further. Here is the website for more information FREEPORT ANIMAL SHELTER (A NO-KILL shelter) Here are thirteen animals that will be up for adoption. (Still there are many more at the shelter) Links to other Thursday Thirteens! |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Oh, they are all just so precious. Bless you for doing this. I wish more people would adopt pets at shelters. We have four cats, and all of them are rescues. I wish all precious cats and dogs could have loving, forever homes, and it’s people like you who are doing wonderful things to help bring that about.
Happy TT!

I adopted my dog, Max, from a shelter! He was known as a biter, which would’ve made him awfully hard to adopt! But I have patience…and no kids…so voila! Ten years later, he’s still with me
Comment
We have had 6 cats over the course of our life together … all of them came from either private home adoption or shelter adoption.
What a great way to merge the T13 meme and a good cause.

I’d take everyone of those cats if it were possible.
Good for you for getting involved with this wonderful cause. YOU ROCK!!
btw – your website is beautiful. Don’t know if I mentioned that before, but everytime I visit, I think – WOW!
Comment
Awww… what a great TT! I would adopt more pets if I had the time/money/space to provide them all a happy home.
Comment
My cats are rescue cats. They are all the more precious to me because of that.
Happy TT!

Awww. Our home is full of adopted babies. Great list and I love your site. It’s so pretty.
Happy Thursday

Thank you all for stopping by. I know what you mean. I wish I could adopt them all too. My mom runs the cat Motel 6. All of them are strays and they all know to go to her house for food and a home. She never turns anyone away.
Wylie and Margaret, thanks so much for the great compliments about the site.

Oh, what sweet pictures! I’d love to have a cat, but the middle monster is allergic.

What a great initiative! I do voluntary work in my local pet shelter and things like this always help. Good for you!!
Thanks for visiting my blue moon TT.
Comment
Can I bring them all home with me?? I hope they find people to love them all. Now I want to go home and hug my cat.
Comment
I love your cause…this is the first time in my life I’ve been living without at least one pet, a very strange sensation…and your post here made me miss having a cat or dog. My dad died a few months ago…and I went to a friiends house recently who had three cats and all of a sudden I just picked up a cat and hugged it and realized I hadn’t grieved with a pet…and I always had my whole life, ups and downs with animal family.
Good post and it makes me count the days till I can adopt a pet…and don’t worry, I will go to an animal shelter.
Comment
I like your list so much that I put it in a special blog about TT along with 2 other TT-ers.
Hope it can help many people with doubts out there.
Hope you like it that I link you up at my blog.

Lovely TT – both my cats were from a web site that places stray or abandoned cats, one had lived on the streets for almost 6 months but was so tiny… she likes all human food, especially bread, and the other was dumped at the shelter at 4 weeks, so she missed out on some important lessons from Mum, she can’t jump, and swims in the bath, and thinks I am her mother.
Comment
Awwww…. How can anyone resist?
Of course, the last time we tried to adopt from a shelter, we couldn’t–military families move too often, apparently.
Yeah, I’m still kinda steaming about that.
Comment
One of the cats posted looks a lot like my psycho (looks from picture on blog to cat sitting beside me looking up with her tongue still sticking out) only a lot smarter:grin:.
Comment
I hope you adopt them all out! I used to foster for a no kill shelter, it’s heartbreaking how many animals don’t have real homes.
Comment
Thank you so much for doing this! I have three shelter babies and would not/could not love them more if they were pedigreed. This is a very important post. Thank you, thank you!
Comment
Strange as it may seem, sometimes to cheer myself up, I’ll check out animal rescue sites just to look at all the sweet faces.
I have a mixed breed dog that was being given away – her picture was tacked up on a laundromat bulletin board for me to find. What if I hadn’t needed to wash a large quilt that needed an industrial-sized washer? Anyway I did, I found her and all is right with the world.
Comment
Hope it all goes well and lots of the animals get new homes.
Comment
Our cat Anela (angel in Hawaiian) came from the wild! Excellent post and Happy TT!
Comment
Aww–I’ve been having kitty cravings after losing mine last year. Hmmm…wonder if I could talk my b/f into another cat…?
Thanks for the reminder that there are so many pets out there who need homes!
Comment
I want a cat. I really like them and those pics are just so cute…
I hope they all find good homes

I love cats!! Awesome TT! I wish I wasn’t allergic. :/
