Donation Drop Off

Today we sent the human to meet up with the Meowness lady to handover this donation. It was raining so hard, we had to take the picture in the car.

It’s a small donation (we would obviously have preferred this to be larger) but this is all we could round up between four stores.

The cat food was a killer deal and we would have had the human purchase more, had she found more, yet for are grateful for everything we could get.

The items in the picture retail for about $211 and we paid oop …..drumroll…. $5,14!

With the most expensive being the carrier in the box.

The cat food was only 1 cent per item. Yep! We made sure the human got up early the day this sale was going to start and we were so  happy she found a few goodies, as a lot of people were hunting for them that day.

How we wish, we could find those kinds of sales more often. Small but mighty!

We’ll go on the road again later this month, so not sure if we can get another donation together for the Meowness kitties.

We sure hope so and we’ll try! You just never know!

We just got back to Mesa for the Winter and were able to send the humans shopping right away. We had gotten word of huge markdowns on pet food and pawed at female human to get off the couch immediately to go hunt for deals.

This is kind of a mini donation, as it doesn’t have any dry food or litter, but as the humans are going out of town again, we wanted to get this to the Meowness kitties before they leave.

It doesn’t look like much and despite not being much food at all, these items retail at a ridiculous $636. Come on, seriously, who pays that? But we were able to get all of this….wait for it….drum roll:  $ 2.71

Yes, yes less than $3!!! To say we were pretty stoked was an understatement!

The human is just heartbroken about so much packaging and so little food inside.

Would we have preferred to also get the Meowness gang some litter and dry food? Yes, sure!

But you gotta score the deals, while the getting is good and this was an exceptionally amazing deal, even for us!

Deal shopping has gotten a lot harder for sure, but we hope to score a few more things for our buddies at Meowness as the season progresses.

If you’d also like to help them out, you can donate to their cause here.

In addition to all the usual expenses for vet care and pet food, they’ve had a stroke of bad luck lately, with a failed furnace and then electrical problems. That’s pretty scary.

So if you can send them a few $$$ we are sure they would put them to very good use.

March is our Gotcha Month, so before we go out of town again at the end of this month, we had to send the humans to Meowness one more time to drop off a few donation items.

March 2024 Donation to Meowness

Unfortunately the deals weren’t as good as they were in January and February, but we did our best to at least get a few things from the Meowness wish list.

Man were we spoiled with coupons in January and February. March? Not so much, for meowing out loud!

The items pictured retail for a ridiculous $311 and our out of pocket cost, was about $132.

Not the greatest donation of all times, but every little bit helps and we know Meowness sure can use it.

The human also made a small donation to the vet cost fund in honor of our gotcha month, as we do every year.

Vet costs have really gotten out of hand as well, so we’d really like to encourage you to help our buddies at Meowness with a few $$$ as well, if you can.

Their website has a link to donate via paypal and you’ll also find a bunch of adorable cats that are looking for awesome humans, just like Paisley Jade, pictured below.

Isn’t she stinkin’ adorable??
Thank you for helping out a wonderful small organisation, where every $ goes to the kitties and only the kitties!

We feel those small rescues are really feeling the squeeze of the constantly rising cost of food, supplies and vet care.

That will be it in terms of deal shopping for a little while, as we are going on the road again with the humans to enjoy ever changing cat TV through our screen door!

We are not sure if we can get female human to update this blog during the summer, but we’ll try our very best to motivate her!
