Welcome to the blog for It's Meow or Never Animal Rescue, a 501(c)(3), non-profit, no-kill animal rescue organization. We rescue cats and dogs and after having them seen by the vet, we adopt them to loving, forever homes. Please come back often as we will try and update this site every day.

Please contact us if you need adoption assistance with an animal - if you provide a photo of the animal, we can list it on national databases to help find it a suitable home.

Please*do not* ever give your animal away for free ... learn why.

Morgan

Morgan is in the hospital again! This time he has a Urinary Tract Infection and the vetʼs bill will be $260.00. Poor kitty, he had his teeth removed last month, now this problem!

If you can donate anything at all for him, we would appreciate it deeply. We canʼt afford all of this but he needs us to help him.

Please go to www.itsmeowornever.org and donate for him. He was really scared today at the vet's office. :(

Re: It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary Paws For A Cause Auction,
May 2009

My name is Layla Colegrove and I am the chairperson for the 2009 Annual Online “Paws for a Cause” auction to benefit It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3), non-profit, no-kill organization. At It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, we have a goal of raising $15,000 from this event. These funds will allow us to open an adoption center in the local area which will allow us to rescue and rehabilitate more animals in dire need. Last year’s auction web page is located at http://www.itsmeowornever.org/auction and will be updated every day.

We would love to have you help us with our auction by donating a gift certificate, product or service for our auction. In exchange, we can provide advertising on our auction web site with a link back to your company web site. Additionally, we will provide a tax receipt for your donation. If you’d like to contribute to our auction, please note that it will take place in the May 2009 timeframe. As such, we’d like to request that gift certificates and tickets reflect an expiration date of December 2009 or later.

Our mailing address for donations: It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary PO Box 733 Woodinville, WA 98072 We hope that you’ll take a moment to help us with this very worthy cause! On behalf of the animals, thank you in advance for your generous contribution!

Sincerely,
Layla Colegrove

Donations today 12/17/08

Donations today: $120.00
Well, there's been some really fun developments in the Holiday Room! A very kind supporter donated four cases of wonderful food for the animals at our sanctuary and Gummy is checking out the different flavors with great interest! Panda had a very large helping of food and is fast asleep. No more tummy growling for her!

Our famous little friend, Donovan, has joined his friends and when he spotted the tree, he scaled right to the top to get a closer look at the star! He's a real acrobat and could really use a condo so he can play safely. In fact, the others would love to have a fun condo to play on. Just look at Whisper .. she's playing hide and seek with you -can you spot her??

Please go to www.itsmeowornever.org and help the animals that need you for this holiday season!

Layla

Layla is our wonderful webmaster and fundraising coordinator. I want to thank her for all the hard work she has done for us. Many times I want to stop doing this work and just be a "normal person." But she inspires me, she keeps me going. That is priceless!

The Holiday Room is great and I look very forward to the Valetine's Room and the Easter Egg Hunt!! She was up so late last night working with Flash and this morning she said to me, "if you ever want Flash work done, I am your girl". :) I have messed up the website a tad but she is redesigning another site so if you see anything strange, that's me. LOL You need a website? Go to http://www.ladybugwebsites.com/ and she will be sure to please with her skills and she donates 100% of the proceeds to us!

Her other business smells gooooood and is located at www.layla.etsy.com I can't believe how it's growing. She hand crafts bath bombs which are very fragrant and fun!! She has hand crafted dog biscuits, Kitty Kickers, pet beds, pupcorn, dog tugs and she mails out items for us everyday.

We had our auction in the middle of this year and she accepted all the items that were donated to us. She put the auction web page up on the internet. She mailed all these items out and that was tiring! She is a wonderful person, I can't express how I feel about her.

Thank you Layla for all your hard work that you do for me and the animals. You know we all love you to pieces!

Holiday Room needs you!

Rufus isn't quite sure what's going on ...someone put some fuzzy kitty toys in his bed! The kitties are really enjoying their new beds as it's snowing outside. With the nice warm fire going, they're all toasty warm .. as all animals should be. Whisper's tummy just started growling. Some food would sure be nice. Panda is dreaming of a nice fresh bowl of food too.................

Please go to our Holiday Room at www.itsmeowornever.org and help our homeless animals! We can't continue to rescue and adopt out more animals without you!

Thanks to the kind souls who put a couple gifts under the tree - a lovely handpainted doggy lunch bag by "PetloversBoutique" and a nice ring cat toy. The bookshelf looks great with the new Lovebirds print by"kittyanydots". Whisper the cat decided that it was just too drafty sitting in front of the fireplace .. just look at that snow blowing in! Besides, she thinks that she balances out the mantle really nicely ... red candle, red kitty!

Can you please help to warm the room up with your generosity by putting a fire in the fireplace?

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

We're excited to have kittyanydots offer a her very nice Lovebirds print for our Holiday Room - it's now available for "virtual purchase" for our room.

Layla and I just left that room and poor Rufus ... it's so cold that there are icicles hanging from the fireplace! He's happy to have Whisper to keep him warm but his new bed's getting a bit crowded - it seems that while he was out for his daily walk, another kitty decided to make herself at home!

Can you help us with our room by going to http://www.itsmeowornever.org/xmas/xmas_room.asp?

Holiday Room Update

Thank you so much to those of you that have made donations to our Holiday Room (www.itsmeowornever.org/xmas/xmas.asp) .. it's starting to look really festive!

Poor Whisper the cat thinks it's chilly in the room so she curled up with Rufus in his new green bed.

If only the fireplace was on.....

FLOWERING TREE BOTANICALS!!

Layla has a shop called Flowering Tree Botanicals, located at http://www.layla.etsy.com/ and has wonderful herbs, spices, craft items, pet toys - she has so many items I can't list them all. She works really hard at making the most fabulous bath bombs. A little birdie told me she is addicted to making them! LOL

I have found that the best products are homemade items. Please visit her website and make a purchase, perhaps for the holidays. Her items make wonderful gifts. They won't go to waste, just image giving someone a sampler of spices, they are sure to be used.
