From Remember Me Thursday creator and Helen Woodward Animal Center CEO, Mike Arms, "Unnecessary euthanasia of pets has to stop. And the only way it's going to stop is showing the public that we, collectively, can do something to make a difference."
While Cody WAS adopted, he was luckier than many other cats. He had an incredible foster Mother who loved and nurtured him, and helped influence the loving cuddle bug that he is today. Millions of other animals aren't as lucky as Cody was. Many are waiting in shelters for days, months, years and even their entire lives, to find their forever homes, and MANY NEVER DO. Now, after the devastating hurricanes in Texas and Florida, even MORE ANIMALS are going to be faced with the prospect of dying in shelters!! Remember Me Thursday® is right around the corner! It's time to start preparing!!

This is an excellent idea and one that will promote adoption as the way to go.

Cody you and I were lucky and I wish every homeless kitty and pup could be as lucky as we were. Shelters and rescues are amazing places and if not for them - we might not even be here.
ReplyDeleteLove, Teddy

ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect day, Cody. My best to your wonderful mom. ♥♥♥
This is a great initiative! Thanks for this reminder.
ReplyDeleteSounds great. I already put my adopted cat's story out on my one blog, do I have to rewrite it and where do I put it? I really like this idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal, if you are entering the contest, I posted above how to enter (and I linked to the website in numerous places).........you can also visit the Remember Me Thursday website where you can find instructions. I linked to EVERYTHING above..........
DeleteWe just love rescues and adoptions and this a a great opportunity so brighten the spotlight!
ReplyDeleteI really love this idea. I think it will bring great exposure to adoption and rescue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder. I need to get some photos of my kitties.

you aren't too late at all. I linked to the contest in a number of places above and I linked to the main Remember Me Thursday website. Remember me Thursday is September 28
DeleteIt boggles my mind that I happened to cross paths with a tiny, homeless, 8 month old kitten ... and he's proceeded to change and transform my life entirely. So many people would've considered him a nuisance. But that first time we met - I think we both saw something in the other that we didn't realize we had. What a gift. Love truly performs miracles. As much as people have told me how lucky Bear was that I took him in ... I owe him my life. My heart still melts when I think of the kitten wrapping his paws around my arm and pulling my hand toward his belly because he wanted belly rubs and I was too scared to try on my own.
ReplyDeletethat is such a beautiful story, thank you for sharing!
DeleteGreat post and reminder!

I took Avery off the streets, and not from a shelter, but I think it sounds like he qualifies. Will definitely tweet out with the hashtag! :) This is such a great contest.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess ... none of my cats are from a shelter.
ReplyDeleteBonne soirée

neither of my cats were either. Bobo was found on the street (under a car in my apartment parking lot in a blizzard, after I saw him jump over our fence 6 hours earlier)..........Cody had a foster mom.....
DeleteWhat a wonderful organization and a great celebration day. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteA very important reminder! Amarula was rescued off the streets of Cape Town, South Africa!
ReplyDeleteYou are great for reminding us all of the value and power of adopting shelter pets.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday...

I like this idea. Many voices coming together makes a bug difference :)
ReplyDeleteWe're pawticipating in Remember Me Thursday, and we're lighting up social media! thanks for helping to spread the word.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see this information here too. We are getting involved this year and hope to help our local groups get the word out and help find some homes for those in need.
ReplyDeleteEinstein says thanks to Caren and Cody for coming to his Birthday Pawty. He was so happy to see you both and was glad you had a good time

Thank you for sharing this. I hope more people will be willing to open their hearts and adopt some of these poor, abandoned pets that were left behind during the hurricanes. Truly heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteWe're participating! We did a whole post on why we write to save lives! We just love this day.
ReplyDeleteWith two hurricanes already gone through, and possibly more to come (let's hope not though!), I think the timing of Remember Me Thursday is going to be perfect. As you said, there is even more need now due to so many more animals in shelters. I hope they can be reunited with their families but if not, that they can go to happy new homes.
ReplyDeleteGreat post and great reminder! We will be participating!
