And who are Yorkshire cats?

Nobody was postpobed from last year!

Do they ever post and if so where and when was their last post?

Actual pics are not sold its more people pay to see them, as said I will try and find a thread from a past auction.

Just not feeling too good tonight.

Yorkshire Cat Rescue.  They joined when the Feral Foundation did, and Tan said they would benefit from the auction the year after FF.  It was postponed though, I remember someone else mentioned it too at the time.  Don't know about posts.  Haven't been on here much recently.

I'm getting my knitting needles out right now :) Anyone who would be interested in anything special should message me before hand and I can try and do some orders at an agreed bid :)

I believe the funds should be going to Yorkshire Cats, postponed from last year.

Gill, if there's anything I can do to help just let me know.

So, do people sell photos of their cats in the auction then?

Is there a pro forma email that we use? I was thinking of approaching the place where I get our cat food (Nurturing by Nature )  not that I'm planning on asking for raw food, but they might be prepared to donate some treats or suchlike. The Range sell loads of cat stuff, I might try them too, if that's OK?

Have just received the info and its huge!

WE need to be sure that we do not overlap as Tan is going to contact some other companies too........I remember Vet UK being one of them.

Too tired right now to work all this out and have to go to docs tomorrow for change of dressing on foot and then onto shops so guess it will be tomorrow evening at earliest before I can look properly at whats been sent......sorry cos that will delay things a bit.

Sorry about the job Liz and will send you the list as soon as I have it, thanks very much  ;D ;D

Tan says the sending out of stuff is a massive job for one, actually too big but as we are so late may not be as big as last year  :shify: :shify:

Just an update.

Tan has contacted only 3 sponsers, Simons Cat , cat hampurr, Crystal clear Pet Products and she is sending me the list from last year.

She will do the advertising banners for the sponsors and is going to look to see who gets the proceeds...............could be based on who actually comes on Purrs!!!!!!!!!!!! but am guessing  :shify:

She says Etsy people are good to help.

So definately Vet UK, PAH need contacting and hope that they will be on that list. She is also sending me the email used last year.

Liz and anyone else who ends up with items to send out from sponsors, Purrs will refund the P&P to you so make sure you keep a list  ;D ;D

I have now made this a sticky and over next few days will try and set up the auction threads!!

I'm so excited about the auction! I got a few fab things in it last year and it's such a laugh.

I've already picked up a few things for it so I'll be selling them this year as well as getting involved in the bidding war banter  :evillaugh:

OK here it is the first thread!

Will start on 22 Nov and end 6 Dec 2015.

We dont know who will get the funds yet but wil llet you know mas soon as we know.......Tan and me  :shify:

However there is another change this year as Tan hasnt had time to get sponsor stuff  :(

So we are back to the old days with you to get stuff into the auction and it will be the old system not last years software, so easy to make rude comments when you bid  :rofl: :rofl:

If anyone knows any one who could put in sponsor stuff go ahead and arrange  ;D ;D

I think she may have contacted a few and need to know if Simons Cat has been contacted for example.

So this year it will not be as massive as the last 3 years but we are hoping for a good show.

Any Etsy people you know who may like to contribute would be great and any companies who will send stuff direct to the winners would be useful. Dont know if PAH have been contacted either, will have to ask her who she has contacted cos she said a few.

I dont know about the Purrs advertising either, sorry only contacted her tonight cos people were starting to ask about it and everything was dead.

Will operate as before with auctioneers paying the postage and depending which rescue get the proceeds will try and do normal stuff liker feed a cat , name a cat and anything else you can think of.

Although Misa and co are willing to selling their pictures again, how about some others like Andrew and Nicola who are way better photographers than me  :evillaugh:

Contact me for details, doesnt cost you a thing but makes money  ;D

Chat and ask questions in this thread until we are slightly organized! This is as bad as my study  :Crazy: :Crazy:

Our 9th auction on Purrs lets make it a good one  ;D ;D ;D
