When Vox Sacramento asked me to curate an art show this summer, I knew exactly what to do!
"Unleashed" is an animal art show that will benefit Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary. Held on Saturday, July 9, this art show will feature art that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. The proceeds from a silent auction will benefit local animal groups.
If you would like to be a participating artist for this fundraiser, please send an email to eviesark {at} gmail {dot} com no later than June 30 and I will follow up with further details.
"Unleashed" - A Fundraiser for Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary
Saturday, July 9, 2011 from 5pm - 9pm
Vox Sacramento Gallery located at 1726 11th Street at R
Free and open to the public
See you there!

A.W.O.L. Kitten
Each morning when I leave for work, I do a roll call for my cats. You know, just to make sure that nobody spends the entire day shut in the closet. And as is customary with my two, they stand by the back door to meow goodbyes to me. I'm certain that they believe me when I tell that that I'll be right back in five minutes!
But this morning, one kitty had gone A.W.O.L. And the house was eerily quiet. And that can only mean one thing - Izzy is up to no good!
I found her in the bathroom sleeping in a basket of towels, her fat furry butt hanging over the edge. That little trouble maker always makes me laugh! Even when I have to rewash all of the already clean laundry!

Available catnip toys
As promised in the cat toy drive blog posting, here are a few photos of the handmade catnip toys that are currently on hand.
Each heart and star catnip measures approximately 5 inches. These fiberfill toys are light enough to be carried around by your cat and tossed up into the air for play time. They are also large enough for your cat to get a good grip on them when snuggling down for nap time. Each catnip toy is stuffed with a generous heaping of organic catnip.
Red-White Hearts.
Blue/Red Hearts (double sided).
Pink Leopard Hearts.
Blue Stars.
Red Stars.
For the kitties who are into astrology, these horoscope catnip toys measure about 4 inches by 4 inches. They feature your kitty's zodiac sign on the front and purple stars on the back. Each cat toy contains a generous helping of organic catnip!
Don't know your cat's sign? No worries! We've also created a line of catnip toys featuring the sun & moon.
These smaller toys measure about 3 inches by 3 inches and are the perfect size for smaller cat paws. There are a variety of cat characters with their own saying - Fraidy Cat, Psycho Cat, Royal Highness, Princess, and more - with bumble bee fabric on the reverse side. Each catnip toy is stuffed with organic catnip.
The above Evie's Ark catnip toys sell for $3 each. Shipping will be included in that price during this month for the Cat Toy Drive. Just send an email to eviesark {at} gmail {dot} com with the description of the item you would like to purchase. If there is a style that you like, but want in a different color, please let me know. I'll make custom toys for your kitties. Please also stay tuned for more styles coming soon!
And remember - for every catnip toy that you purchase from Evie's Ark, I'll also donate a catnip toy to Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary!

Cat Toy Drive!
Izzy's 2nd birthday is coming up on March 20. And to celebrate, I'm coordinating a cat toy drive! This fundraiser will be on behalf of Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary as my way of showing them my gratitude for blessing me with a kitten who makes me smile every day!
Here's how the cat toy drive will work. For every Evie's Ark catnip toy that I sell during the month of March, I'll match that sale one-for-one with another catnip toy donation to Happy Tails. So you buy 3 Evie's Ark catnip toys for your kitties and I'll ship those to your address - and then I'll also donate a matching 3 of my Evie's Ark catnip toys to Happy Tails. I'll keep a running tally of catnip toys for the month so that you can see how many will be donated to the rescued cats of Happy Tails.
And, you don't have to purchase one of my Evie's Ark catnip toys to participate. If you have gently used cat toys at home, feel free to ship them to me to include in the donations to Happy Tails. Any new or gently used cat toy will help to entertain the shelter's kitties. I'm also collecting towels to bathe the animals in need of grooming and blankets to offer warmth and comfort for the cats.
If you have any questions about what would be appropriate to donate, please feel free to send me an email at eviesark {at} gmail {dot} com. I'll also post a separate blog with the currently available Evie's Ark catnip toys.
Thank you in advance for your support of Happy Tails!
Love,
Evie, Zoey, and Izzy the birthday girl!

Valentine's Day Contest
I'm in the mood for a Valentine's Day contest! And here's how you can play along. Go to my Evie's Ark, All Things Animal fan page on Facebook. Look for the contest status update from today. Then leave a comment on that update telling everyone why you love your pet. On February 14, our official contest judge, Izzy, will choose a number to correspond with a comment. That winner will receive a set of three Evie's Ark catnip toys like the one featured in the photo below. Good luck!
