Its thought that maybe and possibly the shop may be up ummmm in hours  :shify: :shify: :shify:

The idea of the rescues getting the money is the same but the list is changing and all rescues that have given us their names will shortly be receiving a letter and a questionnaire because in the last year we have handed over a large amount of money to rescues on Purrs but we need to start having some accountability for the members money which we are giving away.

Tan being an accountant already keeps accounts for the site and we need some other paperwork to back it up and we also need to show that we are giving members money to rescues that are bonafide,,,,,,,,,,,ummm is that how you spell it.  ;D

Sooooooo we hope very much that rescues that we know are ummm bonafide dont mind filling in the paperwork as well as any new names that we are considering.  ;D

Once we have received all the papers back then we will decide on the list, all good fun if you dont weaken................ummmmmmmm Christine where did that saying come from please  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Right so I spouted my bit of new information and I will crawl back into my hole, hoping that nobody will be offended by us being slightly professional  8)

Tan,

I might be able to help with contacts. It depends what you want to sell in the shop. I assume that 100% will go to the rescues.

Please give me an idea and I'll see what I can do. Teresa at Paws Inn has seen some of the stuff so, hopefully, she will vouch for the quality.

If you want to take it offline for now, you have my email address.

The new Purrs shop coming as soon so we can will sell exciting goods personalized with your cat/s or just Purrs logo to help us make regular donations to support the cat Rescues on Purrs.

100% of all the profits from the shop will go into a rescue fund and this fund will be given in rotation at a set period of time or a set amount yet to be decided to all our rescues. This is simular to what Cat chat does with their shop. All the rescues will be checked as much as we can (most of them have been already) so we know that all the the money will go directly for the needy cats.

The list i have at the mo of Rescues but before the shop opens, more may be added.

Eight Lives Left Kitten Rescue
Coventry Cat group
Cat77 trust Shaw Branch
Colchester Cat Rescue
Lost Cats Brighton
Paws Inn
9 Lives
Cat Rescue Flintshire
Wizz Cat Recue

Any other cat rescues are quite welcome to add their name to this thread so they can be checked and included on our fund list.  ;D
