This weeks "Story"

I did this crazy thing a while back and actually joined a fan club. This is by no means a normal fan club, we actually do things as a group and for charity.

Many of you probably have guessed that I am an animal person, specifically cats. Which is why I fully support this organization. Big Cat Rescue. This is one of our primary charities as a group and we encourage donations!

Who is Big Cat Rescue? 

Big Cat Rescue is the largest accredited sanctuary in the world dedicated entirely to abused and abandoned big cats. We are home to over 100 lions, tigers, bobcats, cougars and other species most of whom have been abandoned, abused, orphaned, saved from being turned into fur coats, or retired from performing acts. Our dual mission is to provide the best home we can for the cats in our care and educate the public about the plight of these majestic animals, both in captivity and in the wild, to end abuse and avoid extinction.
I'm not saying that you need to drop what you are doing and run over to make a donation, you don't have to. My purpose for this is to spread awareness. Ignorance and avoidance is no longer acceptable in situations like these. It take a community as a whole to make the changes that are needed around the country. Simply spread awareness and encourage enlightenment.

Just reading about their most recent rescue brought tears to my eyes. It's amazing that they were able to find homes for all of the cats, however, my heart aches for the losses.
