Good Morning Good News !!!! January 2, 2015






Happy Happy Happy New Year to YOU !!!!

May it be all Smoky Joe is wishing
and MORE !!!!


Thank you for being an awesome Rikki-ite !!!!   The animals have made it into a New Year ONLY Because of YOU !!!!   They love YOU dearly.  Even the feral kitties and the shy doggies, who may not be able to look you in the face to say THINK YOU ....  they do thank you every time they have more delicious meal .... every time they lie down on a soft safe bed and can sleep peacefully, knowing they are protected.

And the more outgoing friendly critters ?

Well ... I’ll let them say THANK YOU for their WONDERFUL NEW YEAR ..... themselves


A huge THANK YOU for supporting Rikki’s Refuge during our Feed ‘em For Fifty Double Your Donation Challenge !!!!  

Your contributions, when doubled, will feed the cirtters for FOURTY DAYS ....   How wonderful is that ???   

It sure would have been fabulously wonderful if we could have fulfilled the full FIFTY CHALLENGE ....  I guess our sponsors on that one have a nice chunk left over for a great vacation ....  And we’ll just have to figure out how to feed every one again by early February !!!!    But we can buy all the HAY those cows and goats and sheep and horses and donkeys need for January ....  So it’s a great start to the new year !!!!

THANK YOU !!!!!!




PLEASE VOTE EVERY DAY FOR 17 MORE DAYS
INCLUDING TODAY
Click my nose to vote for me !!!  ....  Love, Vincent
The Shelter Challenge has a prize of $1,000 .... for the rescue with the most votes ... let’s work together and WIN it for the animals !!!!    Rikkis Refuge, VA, USA !!!





Vincent D. Cat
made his break thru and became world famous in 2009 on Facebook.  He created an account, asked for friends .... and within the week .... had the max number allowed !!!!    He was having great fun with his pals and spreading the word about being kind to animals, the importance of spaying and neutering and all about the animals of Rikki’s Refuge .....  when ... facbook zapped his profile saying he was an animal .....   Well Duhhhhhh    .....  but I guess the complaint was a non-hooman animal.  Silly facebook ....  Ruining the fun of so many animals who had their own facebook pages.  And so Vincent’s profile disappeared from facebook over the summer.

Well he solved the problem.  He and Opie too over Kerry’s facebook profile .... and they can be found in many places now too !!!!

Facebook makes a little movie of you about your life on facebook as a Christmas gift ... I was able to get Vincent’s ... which means his profile information is out there somewhere ....  how I wish they’d bring it back !!

AND even if you’re not on facebook you can start to keep up with their antics.
