Need Your Help! Meow Madness Virtual Cat Show: Benefits Cat Shelter!

[SwiftheartBabbit]

Hey all,

Just wanted to spread the word about Meow Madness, a virtual cat show being held by Best in Shelter, a nonprofit in my area dedicated to raising awareness of animal shelters as the best choice for adoption. Meow Madness is a March Madness-type bracketed voting competition, where the winners go on to face each other until a "champion" is determined. The winners of each of the four rounds will be receiving a grant from Best in Shelter for their organization. Voting for Round One began earlier today, and runs until 11:59 PM tonight.
 
So, if you need a little break today and want to watch some cat videos, you can head over to bestinshelter.org/competition/ to vote. You will need to be logged in with your Facebook account. The group I've been volunteering with for almost seven years, the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County, also has two cats in the competition--Captain and Sunny. Several other rescues and shelters throughout the DC Metro area are participating as well. Bottom line, all the cats are adorable and (currently) adoptable!

Thanks for your support! The kitties thank you, too!

What a wonderful cause!  Thank you for sharing this!

I voted for the kitties.   I hope all of them find loving, forever homes.

This is such a cool idea.  I might have to get shifty-eyed and pull this up at work...   

I have a soft spot in my heart for the shelter kitties... thanks for what you do!

Captain made it to Round Two!! Voting for that is all day next Thursday, 6/12. Thanks again, guys! The grant money is really going to help the shelter.

Giving this a bump! Round 2 voting is today, and Captain is still in the running! If she makes it to the "Final Four," the no-kill, all-volunteer cat shelter I volunteer at will receive an addition $4000! Woot!

You can vote until 11:59 EST today (Thur. 6/12) by going to http://bestinshelter.org/competition/. You'll then be prompted to log in with your Facebook account to vote.

Thanks so much!!!
