Andrea’s Holiday Auction and Fundraiser ended last week. I’m about to announce how much that auction brought in. But first, let me share this. The cats of Winnie’s Wish call this place home. This is where these 32 cats will spend the rest of their lives. I try to make those lives happy ones. There are kitty beds, cat trees, outdoor decks, nooks and crannies, toys, and lots of room. There is heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer. Fresh water, tons of food and tons of kitty litter. A few of the cats have special foods because of issues they have. One cat has special food and even special water (distilled) because of chronic UTIs (which are now staying under control). Some of the cats, also because of special issues, have daily supplements. And this past year a couple of Wishers have needed ongoing prescription medications. You can see why Andrea’s Auction is SO needed and SO appreciated!! And here it is!! Ready? The auction brought in . . .

$1500.00!!!!
AMAZING. Thank you again to everyone who participated. Andrea's auction/fundraiser could not be the success it was without all of you. Andrea gives me a rundown on who did what and how much, etc. It warms my heart to know that all of you care about the cats of Winnie's Wish. THANK YOU so very much. And to Andrea - THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
Now here’s a gift that came from my Wish List to Winnie’s Wish. Patchycat sent this in memory of our Jazzy cat.
I do not have an email address to send you a personal thank you. So Patchycat – THANK YOU.
I posted a picture of Belinda’s gift last week, but one more item has arrived.
Belinda – THANK YOU.
Also Cynthia – THANK YOU for your donation in memory of Jazzy.
And Annie – THANK YOU for your donation in memory of your Baby Boy.
And Ginny – THANK YOU.
Last year I re-posted the story of Theo – a Wisher whose story is a Christmas one for sure. I received an email from a reader who asked me to post it again this year. So I will do that tomorrow.
Have a safe & wonderful Holiday Season. See you soon.

I love the cat and ladder Christmas tree. That seat is so nice to honor Jazzy. Love for the ones over the bridge always fills our hearts. If I were a furry I would feel honored to be taken in and live with the Wishers. Cold weather is coming and out side animals always have a hard time and if they can be trapped and kept inside they are always in a better place. Am feeding a gray and white kitty who will never be a pet. I can't get in close to it but every morning I have a can of wet and some dry food and water on the porch. I pray it goes under someones house to keep warm at night. We do what we can. Prayers for all homeless animals..
