Donation Drop Off

We hope, you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and an uneventful Black Friday!

Like every year, we sent our humans Black Friday shopping. Once they were done, we had them drop off their hauls right at Meowness the same evening. We don’t have any way to store things anymore. so shopping hauls need to get delivered to the shelter right away.

Neither us nor our humans are big Black Friday fans, but usually the stores have decent deals on litter or big bags of cat food, so we insist that the humans get their behinds in gear and do some shopping for our furriends, while we chill on the couch and strategize. Luckily the humans still get to sleep in and snuggle with us, so they don’t have to be at any stores in the middle of the night or any of that nonsense. That just wouldn’t work for us.

The deals were not all that great this year, but we think they did alright. Our favorite Petco had quite a bit of canned cat food on markdown, for which we had coupons, so that definitely helped!!

This donation roughly retails at $488 incl. tax, because most of the Blue Brand wet food was discounted, otherwise it would have been quite a bit higher. Our out of pocket cost came in right around $189. In our better days we used to be able to turn $100 into 6-8 times the value in pet food. This seems to be getting harder each year.

Considering we did not have that many coupons this year and the deals weren’t as great as in previous years, we are still pretty happy with the result. We had the humans ad match and luckily our favorite store allows that, so this definitely helped as well. Shopping the BF deals, probably saved about $180 over regular retail, so it was worth it to us. The marked down wet food paired with coupons really saved the day.

Seriously what would those humans do without us cats, making all the great plans? They would not even know how to shop!!

If you would like to help out the Meowness kitties as well, please consider donating a few bucks to their holiday fundraiser. This organisation does an amazing job of finding loving homes for homeless kitties and sometimes dogs as well. They recently moved the shelter, which means more added cost and they do have a bunch of cats with medical needs, so yes, every dollar helps!!

Or maybe you would like to add a furry family member to your home, like our pal Merry Mistletoe, pictured above. Isn’t she adorable! Quick , someone snag her up please, before female human gets any ideas!! Her and her buddies are looking for pawesome furever homes.

We are going to keep an eye out for more deals, while we are in town and hopefully will be able to make another donation in December!! Stay tuned!

Today we sent the human to Meowness to deliver the items in the picture to our buddies over there.

It’s a comparatively small donation, but the humans just got back from out of town, so we missed a couple of weeks worth of shopping opportunities. Yes, we know, HOW dare they??? Something about female human’s dad’s birthday something milestone something…

This is also the reason why we have not posted in the last two weeks.

At least we had a really great pet sitter, who took good care of us. We miss her already.

Where were we?

Right, Meowness donation.

Well, we got caught up a bit during the last couple of days, by sending the human shopping to our favorite Petco.

Big shout out to the team at our Petco, they are just awesome!!

Also did you know, Dollar Tree sells litter boxes? They are $1 each and make great donation items for the shelter. Dollar Tree also carries litter scoops. Great deal!

This donation is valued at about $376 incl. tax and our out of pocket cost was $97. Not too bad, but we certainly have done better in the past.

This wraps up our donations for the year, but the Meowness kitties still need all the help they can get. If you want to help them out as well, please head over here to donate.

Also please remember, we will be donating any money we make from this blog to Meowness. So if you want to help, please check out this page for suggestions how you can support this cause at no additional cost to you.

Whew, we hope you all head a wonderful Thanksgiving!
As much as our human despises Black Friday and all it stands for, there’s no way around sending her to the pet stores to shop for our buddies at Meowness.

The deals where not really great this year, as we mentioned in our preview post, but we had a few coupons and discounts that helped us mitigate cost a little bit.

The items pictured above retail at a ridiculous $575 incl. tax and we paid about $189 out of pocket.

Yeah, we know, compared to previous years, that’s kinda meh!

We don’t know for sure, but we think male human may have jinxed it. We overheard him bragging to a friend about our deal sniffing capabilities a few days before Black Friday. So maybe that was the reason for the lack of great deals? At least we still managed to get a good amount of litter for Meowness, which is what they are always short of.

We had the humans head to Meowness right away, after female human was done shopping to drop it all off!

We hope there’ll be a few more holiday deals popping up in the coming weeks, so hopefully we can get together another donation before we leave town again.

Not pictured is a cat carrier that our friends Mojo and Lola donated, which we picked up on the way to Meowness.

Thank you guys! Many purrs to you!

We also want to thank Cole and Kissa for the bag of toys (in the picture in between the treats and the towel).

Many purrs and thanks also to those who helped us out with coupons, we could not do it without your support!

The human will probably not be up to setting foot in any other stores, anytime soon. But as soon as we see pet deals,

we’ll do our best to share them and send the human shopping!!

If you’d like to help the Meowness gang as well, they are currently running a FUNDRAISER. You can click here and find more details, any donation, no matter how small, counts and helps save lives!! So please consider sending them a few $$ if you can!! Thanks!!

That’s it for now, we are off the regular scheduled cuddling!
