Standing with her ear to the Teleportation Tunnel, Periwinkle had butterflies in her stomach. Well, not REAL ones but, as always when she was expecting Stinky, she was excited and just a bit nervous. Their adventures were always special and she was so happy that Stinky was her boyfriend.
WOOOOSH, there he was!! They ran to each other and shared whisker kisses, pat pats and headbonks. They spent some time catching up on the past week. Thanksgiving was nice, even though it was different for their parents this year. Finally, Stinky asked Periwinkle what they were doing today?
"We're staying here today if that's okay with you" she replied. "Sure, are we going to the beach or to see the Manatees?" he asked. Periwinkle said she hoped he wouldn't be bored but they were actually staying at her house. "Cool, will we be helping your Mom decorate?" asked Stinky. Periwinkle said most of that was done and they had a very important message to get out today. Always civic-minded, Stinky was super happy when he heard what they were doing.
Periwinkle explained that today is Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday started in 2012 and is a day where people can either donate, volunteer or help a neighbor. Even sharing a smile with a stranger is giving.
Today, she told him, they were going to share some rescues and shelters that our pals might want to help out. "How did you make up the list? There are so many worthy places" asked Stinky. Periwinkle said that she made a list of some of the shelters and rescues that friends who won comment-a-thons had suggested. "Great idea!" he replied.
First, let's share the site for our pals at PAWS in CT. Most of you know our friends at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life. They feature lots of adoptable kitties on their blog.
Alley Cat Allies would be another good choice. They do a lot to help feral cat colonies.
Cathy Keisha picked a shelter that was dear to her heart when she won. Union City Feral Ca Committee
Both tabbies were getting hungry so they headed out to their favorite spot by the pool for a snack of Temptations and Fancy Feast.
They giggled and held paws while they snacked. Both Stinky and Periwinkle were excited about Santa coming and talked about the decorations in each of their houses. Stinky visited with Periwinkle's Mom and brofur Raz for a bit and then headed to the Teleportation Tunnel to return home. "This was fun! I hope we helped someone decide to donate today!" Periwinkle agreed and they both were grateful that they found their Furever families without having to live in a shelter. Then, with a WOOSH, off he went! Periwinkle smiled and hoped somebody who read their adventure would do something special for #GivingTuesday!
