I have been asked by one or two people why I have not applied to got on the list to be considered for  a donation from the Diary Fund.

The reason is that I am with Cats Protection which is part of a National registered Charity, although each branch has to raise its own funds apart from a very small donation from HQ.  I feel that people are more inclined to donated to registered charities and we have the privilege of Gift Aid too. So for that reason  in my opinion Purrs efforts should be for the private charities who do an enormous amount of work and make it a little easier for the bigger charities.

Yes ya right Elaine it is so difficult as they are all fantastic and do such a brilliant job for needy cats.
I wanted to encourage good support for all the rescues involved so that other rescue staff and supporters who are not members on purrs have the option to show thier support.

At the end of the day it's not a competition for popularity, its solely for the cats in need. The fundraising we do and all the work that goes into them, making the calendar, diaries, auctions, shows and any other projects are to help the cats, for them to have love, to help find forever caring homes, to give them the life they so deserve through the rescues.  I really do wish we could get loads to give to all the wonderful rescues.

Yeap you are so right Sam it is hard cause they are all so great and all are wonderful for the needy cats. Hopefully we will be able to support them all in fundraisers through the year, the rescue that gets chosen this time will be out of the next fundraiser. For each fundraiser we will do the same so each has a good chance of getting funds.

Come peeps there are over 500 members out there, get those votes coming

It is so difficult to choose, all good causes but I think I will have another good read and then choose perhaps rescues that have not yet received help from this site. I think that would be my fairest way. Although I appreciate the ones that have already been helped need more help.

Forgot to meantion, all Rescues and fosters are allowed to vote as well and can have one of the votes to support themselfs. You are all very welcome encouraging your friends and other rescue staff  to vote also.  They will need to join and make one post on the forum so they can vote.  ;D


Ya still have till 10pm on Friday to get all the suport you can from friends, co rescue workers and anyone off the street you can bribe to help suport your chosen rescue.  :evillaugh:

Great idea. As one rescue is as deserving as the next, I'm a bit concerned the lesser known ones are missing out though  :Crazy:

 It is so difficult as they are all fantastic and do such a brilliant job in caring for needy cats. I really do wish we could get loads to give to them all. The rescue that gets through this time will be out of the next poll for our other major fundraisers this year ie our annual auction so the others will have a chance in the year to get funds.
We are also starting to do small fundraisers for individual cats needs like the cat show for Minimopsical.

Any fundraising ideas so we can help more rescues in the year are very welcome. :)

Hi

The poll is up here http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=3048.0 to choose the Cat rescue who will receive the funds from our Purrs printed Diary fundraiser this year.   

This is the only way we can choose fairly.

They are all very deserving rescues saving and helping soo many cats and i know we would all love to give to all of them. But from one fundraiser, we don't make enough money to give a reasonable donation that will really help so we need to choose one rescue for each fundraiser we do on Purrs.
Please see this thread for more info on the rescues listed http://www.chaptanservices.com/purrs/index.php?topic=2581.0

Please help us choose the rescue for this fundraiser by voting.  You have two votes per member, please select the two then click submit vote button.
All votes are confidential and you may see how the voting is going but only after you have voted.

The voting will close and the rescue announced on this thread at 10pm on Friday 30th March.


Thanke very much for your support.
