The Land of Melting Shadows: Cat Tales ~ St. Paws

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

Cat Tales ~ St. Paws

Recently Mommy had a pile of unwanted items that she wanted to donate to a thrift store. But she wanted a thrift store that supported local animal shelters. She looked and looked and she finally found one. St. Paws.

St. Paws helps other organizations who are engaged in protecting, sheltering, and caring for abandoned, neglected, and abused animals. They have two thrift stores - one located in Colorado Springs and the other in West Columbia, South Carolina. 100% of the profit from the sales at their thrift stores go to helping these rescue organizations. As of April 2013, they had donated over $100, 000 to local rescue and animal welfare groups.
You may not have a St. Paws where you are, but Me's sure you have a local animal shelter or rescue organization. Please support them any way you can - your help will be greatly appreciated!

the dogs' mother said...: We were on the road this weekend, during the great PNW monsoon, and were in a sandwich shop. Noticed an animal shelter thrift shop across the street and thought what a good idea.

We have a local rescue charity we donate to and so knew who to call when we became an accidental cat foster family.; September 30, 2013 at 6:44 AM
Debra She Who Seeks said...: Great idea! We used to have a thrift store here that supported the local humane society but they closed down. I think direct appeals for money brought in more funds.; September 30, 2013 at 7:02 AM
Robin Larkspur said...: No thrift shop here that supports the animals. But always plenty of fundraising going on for them. A thrift shop would be a purrr-fect idea, though.; September 30, 2013 at 8:51 AM
