If I won this one I’d ask for my prize to be sent along with the charity. My cat just loves to chew so wool toys last for about 30 seconds with him, but I think http://www.meowcatrescue.org/ could find a few cats who these beautiful toys would last a lot longer with : )

Cats love recycled items as toys! My kitties love when I put catnip inside an old sock and tie it in a knot. The cats at Alley Cat Rescue would also love to play with some of Melissa’s home made toys! http://www.saveacat.org

December 2nd, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Love these! I would donate to the NYC Feral Cat Initiative space I’ve been volunteering in. We do TNR work and find great adoptable cats along the way… but until they find their forever home, they have to live in a cage. So toys are always welcome!
http://www.nycferalcat.org
December 2nd, 2010 at 1:27 pm
I would donate to the Cherokee County Humane Society in Tahlequah, OK.
December 2nd, 2010 at 1:28 pm

December 2nd, 2010 at 1:43 pm
OH I am SUCH a sucker for knitty and reclaimed cat toys… these are perfect. If I won I’d donate them to The Cat Posse, http://www.catposse.org/
from whom I adopted my enormous Siamese. They do so much great work and need help!
December 2nd, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Cute! I’d give to the ASPCA’s New York chapter. http://www.aspca.org

December 2nd, 2010 at 2:33 pm

December 2nd, 2010 at 2:37 pm
How great that these are made this way. My guys LOVE mice. I’m sure the ones at the shelter, Habitat for Cats ( http://habitatforcats.org/ ) would love them too.
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:00 pm
The charity I’d pick is Santa Barbara Humane Society

Environmentally responsible and good looking cat toys too! Simple toys like these are often the favorite toys. My cats would like them, and so would the shelter kitties at Cozy Cat Cottage http://cozycatcottage.com/
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Very fun toys my four would love them but the kitties at http://www.warrenhumanesociety.org
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:15 pm
These receycled mice are great. I’m sure the kitties at Brigid’s Crossing would love them too http://brigidscrossing.org/
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I love to reuse and recycle things. Couple of days ago I filled an old mascot with a catnip. Cats love it. Those mice are a very good idea and I’m sure our cats will love it too.
I don’t know who should be donated, because I don’t live in the USA and I don’t have my favourite charity. If it could be a place in my country (Poland) I’d donate Towarzystwo Opieki nad Zwierzętami (Animal Care Association) in my city: http://www.toz.szczecin.pl/ (they take care about dogs from our local animal shelter, which is quite poor, and quite often they find them a new home, and also they care about free living cats in our city – food, medical care etc.) but if it couldn’t be – I’ll let You decide.
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:22 pm
Such a cute way to incorporate the holidays! And my charity is the Calgary Humane Society, calgaryhumane.ca
December 2nd, 2010 at 3:27 pm
