The kitten shower was a lot of fun. I rushed over to it after work, absolutely starving. There was a ton of good food and I ate way too much. We got a pretty good showing of people. I was surprised there weren't more people there who wanted to talk about kittens, but oh well, you can't have everything. We got over 2000 lbs of donations.. Mostly in litter and dry food, but that is nothing to complain about. We even had one girl scout troop donate their cookie money to make a donation of 478 lbs of stuff. We were so impressed with them. We were glad they ended up winning a trip to the local radio station. Liz from the radio was a very good host. I was impressed with her. I was afraid I wasn't going to be, but she was very warm, and open, and when I walked up to a group of people she was talking with she stood back to make room for me in the group.
We only got 28 names in the name the kitten game, but that is $28 we didn't have before.. so again, Im not going to complain, and I think the kitties got some cute names out of it... was a completely random drawing as well :)
Yes.. I was hoping for more.. but I have to remember it was mother's day weekend (lets hope we don't make that mistake again) and there were a number of off site locations to make donations, and another shower at the children's museum in Portland.. So I am happy with how it went.
on a side note.. it is a year since the first birth of kittens at my home.. the group with Ms. Piggy, Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie, and the famous Peanut. I have gotten the most amazing picture of Peanut aka Treads. I am most thankful that his new (and Gonzo aka Miles) parents keep in touch with me.
