If you are an Indoor Cat, like Elvira, and I, you tend to live your days taking the Crapper, and the Litter that makes it useable, not to mention the Clean-up Crew (Your Humans!), very much for granted. ;-D
It behooves us to remember that there are many Kitties who are not so lucky.
The Ferals more often than not, fend for themselves, of course, but then there are the Rescues, and Shelters, overflowing with Kittens, and Cats, who are always, always, in need of all the Litter they can get their hands on, and rely on the kindness of people, and businesses, to find it in their hearts to either donate funds, or donate Litter, to help them out.
One such effort to help is run by the makers of World's Best Cat Litter, and is called The GiveLitter Charity.
They are "committed to giving to programs that further and enhance human-pet relationships, community viability and earth-friendly sustainable practices."
The Give Litter Campaign is a special program focused on helping cats and deserving animal organizations.
The Give Litter Program has already helped raise over 5,000 pounds of cat litter to three Washington, DC based organizations.
Now it is focusing on helping three amazing groups in the Los Angeles area!
Alley Cat Allies and Baldwin Park Animal Shelter (Part of LA County Animal Care & Control)
Cat House on the Kings (The website is amazing! They will be added to the list in the sidebar, alongside the other Three organizations ASAP!)
Although the organizations currently participating are based in LA, the effort to raise litter for them is dependent on the support of the masses!
The theory is simple—the more clicks, the more litter donated! ( Each vote, to the organization of your choice, is worth 1/10th-a pound of litter! You can vote once a day, every day of the campaign, too! )
After launching the latest round on September 8, 5,000 pounds of litter has been raised thanks to the support of the giving community.
This is why we support their effort.
Daddy Kiril, Elvira, and I, want to encourage the Cat Blogging Community to do our part to spread the word, and help in the efforts to give help to those less fortunate than us!
Just click on the badge in my sidebar, and go from there (Oh, not THAT type of "Going", silly! That's what the Litter Box is for! Pay attention!)
Remember - the more clicks, the more litter donated!
Another very cool thing is that they will add 10 pounds to the total for all blog posts that are written!
That means that with this post Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat will have helped provide 10 lbs. to the ongoing total of the campaign!
So tell your friends. Tweet, Facebook and share the program in any way you can!
Write a blog post on the Give Litter Program and go get a badge to share on your blog or site!
Become a part of the GiveLitter Movement!

Happiness, I have discovered, is nearly always a Full Litter Box. ;-D
