ILoveSpoiltpig is hosting a Felidae arts & craft swap over the next few weeks and in the initial stages, it was suggested that this would be a good opportunity to raise some awareness for that wonderful place a lot of us have found our own little kitty cats (or if you’re like me, hope to one day).
Please take the time to read this entry, follow the links and find out more about these appeals and how you could help.
Cats Protection is the leading UK welfare charity for kitties, with 250 volunteer branches(many run from their own homes) and 29 adoption centres.

Tiger numbers have gone down by a huge 95% in the past century – and their habitat shrunk by 40% in the last decade alone, largely because of deforestation.
They are still hunted for their skins and their bones used in ‘medicine’ despite the international and national bans.

Amur leopard appeal.
That last appeal really got to me and I’ve just adopted an Amur Leopard, it’s not a lot but it’s all I have and I’m sure every little helps.
