Hello! I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about some really neat things that are happening at Salem Friends of Felines, and to ask for your help!

First, Salem Friends of Felines is entered in a contest with the Salem Statesman Journal newspaper in a Best Of Salem poll. Friends of Felines is in the "Best Thrift Store" category, and I'd like all of you to click the link on the Friends of Felines home page and vote for us! The more attention we can bring to the thrift shop, the more money we can raise to help all my awesome kitty friends! So vote often!

Also, please click on Nonnie's picture on the home page at sfof.org and read his story. Nonnie is a super little kitty who is paralyzed, and Friends of Felines is trying to raise money to purchase a cart that he can use to scoot around! He is a really active cat, and if he could get a cart, that would be so great for him! Any size donation will help to make his life so much better! THANK YOU!!

A good friend of mine in Eugene, Oregon, named Danette sent me this cute list:
Five Reasons Why Cats Are Better Than Dogs
1. Dogs drool. Cats don't drool. No drool is better than drool.
2. Dogs lick your face with tongues that have been...well, you all know where they've been!
3. Cats can be left at home alone all day without developing bad habits, like destroying your furniture.
4. Cats don't treat you like you're God, and that grounding is good for your ego.
5. Dog breath.

I hope you're all having a great weekend!
Your friend,
Obie
