    HELP! -Cat figurines, etc., need new homes!

    Hello everyone, I have loads and LOADS of cat figurines and carvings and pictures and books and clothing and all kinds of cat-related things for people who love them.

    My two-room apartment has gotten to be WAY too cluttered at this point (it also includes me and 7 LIVE cats), so I have to get a whole lot of stuff out.

    I'm taking lots of things to the Salvation Army, but I DON'T want to do this with the cat-themed items. I would like these to go directly to others who are fond of cats and would enjoy them as much as I have.. or to cat shelters or other cat-helping charities and groups to use in fund-raising efforts such as yard sales or silent auctions or raffles or whatever..

    Would any of you like some? No cost! (maybe help with postage in case that turned out to be a lot?..) You can have nearly ALL of them! I want to keep just a few.

    Or do any of you have suggestions of groups or shelters or charities I can contact?, or would you pass the word along to any you know?

    The local Humane Society used to run a huge yard sale every summer that would be a perfect outlet, but they haven't done that in the last few years.

    In the past I've given some to a new local feral-cats TNR and spay/neuter-help service called Kat Snips, and some to a shelter in Windsor, Ontario, and will give these folks more when they can use them.

    Thank you so much for any takers, any ideas, any suggestions.. I need to do something about all the excess objects here soon!

    If you or anyone you know is ebay savvy you could put them up there for sale. Mention that all proceeds will go to a local shelter or where ever you want to donate the money. Or craigslist. I personally have no experience with either of these sites, but my boyfriend does.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'd love to help, but with three cats now, and my bunny, in a one bedroom apartment, there just isn't any room for any more stuff!
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    Love,

    I'll take some pictures later today or else tomorrow. I have to recharge the camera battery, and this afternoon I'm getting my teeth cleaned and then going to Saline, about 10 miles away, to take care of a doggie (an adorable little Bichon Frise, Sandie! named Crystal Jasmine).
