Good Morning !!!! My
goodness what a lovely November we’ve been having!!!! It’s felt like spring !!!!
Got a little more seasonal last night yet with a still lovely forecast
in sight!
I hope you’re enjoying this time as much as us critters
are. Thank you, nice hoomans, for
making Rikki’s Refuge for us!!! Without
you ... well we don’t think about
that!! With you, we have love and
friends and family and a place to call our own!!! Thank you for feeding us and buying us the meds we need and
coming to visit us.
I had so many wonderful visiting friends last week!!!! Purrrzzzzz
I love sitting in your lap and purring.
That’s my favorite thing to do.
Well except for maybe eating Fancy Feast.
It sure can take me all day writing these notes to you,
sometimes my paws go so slow on the keys, I mean these are really big keys for
a little kitty!!!! And sometimes the
hoomans keep shouting at me, Vincent, get over here and clean this up, one of
YOUR friends gacked .........
Oh and
guess what ???
Fancy Feast is having a contest. This is really important.
Here, are the details http://rikkisrefuge.blogspot.com/2011/11/fancy-feast-contest-dec-6.html
. The IMPORTANT part to remember is to
be ready to VOTE on Dec 6th - we only have 24 hours to get the most
votes. I didn’t even know about this
contest and my friends voted for me in the first rounds!!! YOU made Rikki’s Refuge one of the top
four!!! Now the challenge is down to
number 1 -- can we do it?? With YOUR
help, YES we can !!!!
The voting is only on facebook - and it’s worth setting up a
facebook page just for this event if you don’t already have one. It’s quick, and it’s free. And if you need help I can help get you set
up. You can even use a separate email
address - lots of ways to create one for free - like hotmail.com !!!!
You and all your kitties and your doggies and your goats and
your cows - they should ALL have facebook pages!!! Yup, um hum, all the critters should have their own !!! Just like me and Duke and Petunia and India
do !!!!
Spread the word - get all your friends mobilized!! Let’s win!!! This could mean as much as $20,000 !!!!!

Mariza,
thank you for the hooman nums!!
The hoomans report back that they had a wonderful time and a
spectacular Thanksgiving Dinner at Mariza’s.
As always Mariza had dozens of delicious vegetarian dishes !!! Lots and lots to make every body happy!!!
Look at
all those Pumpkins!!!
This is gonna feed most everybody here well into the winter
!!!! YEAH and HURRAY to all the pumpkin
pickers this year !!!!! You all are
awesome. That was really hard work they
did. Picking up pumpkins, loading them
into their vehicle, driving to Rikki’s, unloading them pumpkins. And they’re heavy!!! I stayed out of the way so I wouldn’t get
smushed by any pumpkins falling out of vehicles!!!
UH OH
Mike’s Truck Got Broke
Mike drives all the way to Pennsylvania with a rented
trailer on his truck or with a great big truck he’s rented to pick up food that
Purina’s donated to us. He was headed
out this afternoon to pick up the trailer so he could go on a long road trip
tomorrow for food. And his truck broke
down. Can YOU rent a trailer and make
the trip? If you can please let Mike
know - it can be done any day except Saturday.
So YES that means it CAN be done on SUNDAY.
If you can help tell Mike: wood_ma@hughes.net
This is the last delivery Mike made .........
It’s due to wonderful volunteers like Mike who spend a lot
of time, and their own money renting trucks and things like that, that make it
all possible for us to survive on $1 per day per animal at Rikki’s Refuge
!!!!! Yeahhh Volunteers!!!!!
Unloading is an “all hands on deck” job
Ting Ting is pretty new and was relieved
to find out us kitties don’t have to do the unloading
--- just the eating!!!
Are YOU
one of my Generous friends?
I told the PR director at Fancy Feast (who says she loves my
emails) that my friends send me monthly subscriptions of Fancy Feast from
Amazon!!! She said, that’s wonderful,
but WHY? I’d love to understand why
your fans do that for you! SO in my
ever persistent effort to get on the label of Fancy Feast would you write me a
quick note about WHY you like to send me Fancy Feast. Or how I’ve inspired YOU to buy Fancy Feast for your
kitties. Anything nice you can say
about Fancy Feast and ME. Hint hint
hint, why I should be on the label, I want fancy Feast to know it’ll be a win
win situation if they support me and Rikki’s Refuge. Send me your note: Vincent@RikkisRefuge.org
I Love
YOU,
Vincent
