Comments on: Win a $1300 Stylish Makeover for Your Local Cat Shelter! http://www.moderncat.net/2009/06/14/win-a-1300-stylish-makeover-for-your-local-cat-shelter/ Modern designs for living with cats Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:15:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sandy Sato http://www.moderncat.net/2009/06/14/win-a-1300-stylish-makeover-for-your-local-cat-shelter/comment-page-1/#comment-185052 Sandy Sato Wed, 06 Jul 2011 17:45:03 +0000 http://www.moderncat.net/?p=2994#comment-185052 Although the time limit has expired, would just like to leave a note. As a tiny (one-person) 501(c)(3) rescue, it's true that the big organizations can do more (and it's great that they can) but it's because they have dedicated volunteers, perhaps paid staff, and far more assets including time than do the smaller under-staffed (if staffed at all) who, like Kitty Rescue, works full time to support the shelter where 99.9% of the funding comes out of a personal wallet. It makes my heart smile to see a tiny struggling shelter get rewarded for putting their money (what there is) where their heart is. 'Tain't easy.

Last year BF recieved over 38 million dollars in donations. They probably do more than most animal welfare orgs out there but I don't think one their size should enter these contests. I personally hope a smaller shelter or rescue group will win! I would try to find a shelter that is no kill and is not taking in millions of dollars like Best Friends does.

BEST FRIENDS animal Society has an office within Fixnation.org. They together seem like a power house of help for our loved felines. They all moved into this facility about a year ago or so and still are settling in I think a make over would be awesome.
