World Animal Day 4th October 2009

World Animal day is intended as a day of celebration for anyone in the world who cares about animals and among other things to acknowledge and be thankful for the way in which animals enrich our lives. So in celebration here are some of my favourite animals that I have encountered above and below the water in the last couple of years.

Also don't forget that for every cat collar sold through our etsy store PretaPawte are giving $1 to the Cat Protection Society.

A big thank you to everyone that voted for PretaPawte in the Etsy Fashion For Pets Poll. We are so please to have been voted in the Top 10 and to be featured in the Etsy Member's Choice Gift Guide with our Retro nest green cat collar

Its been a big week this week with lots going on and today I am please to announce the winner of our facebook giveaway, Lauren who chose the PretaPawte Pressed Flower Dog Collar as her favourite. Congratulations Lauren you collar will be in the post soon.


As most of our blog followers would be aware we got Alvin from the Cat Protection Society in Enmore in the middle of last year and not only is he now the most spoilt cat that ever lived (not that he'd admit it) but he has also has he changed our lives and brought us so much joy (not to mention a reason to make collars)

So with Alvin in mind its time again to say thanks to the Cat Protection Society for looking after Alvin and many other kittens and cats before they find their forever homes and for the next two weeks for every cat collar sold in our etsy store PretaPawte will give $1 to the Cat Protection Society.

It's all about cats

OK so for the past couple of weeks PretaPawte has been supporting some fantastic organisations that help out dog's in need by finding them loving families but now its time to get back to our roots and do something for the cats.

We got Alvin from the Cat Protection Society in Enmore in the middle of last year and he is now the most spoilt cat that ever lived....or at least he's in the running. He has mountains of toys and his own toy box, a filtered water fountain, an automatic feeder, only eats the super premium food and has a whole back deck netted in for his own enjoyment...but he is worth it and it is thanks to the Cat Protection Society that we have him as part of our family and that i wake up each morning to his soothing purr and a paw in my face (not so soothing)

Over the last couple of days Alvin has been rather vocal, chirping, meowing and not to mention purring and it has been hard to understand what he wants but maybe this is it?? Till the end of April for every cat collar sold PretaPawte will give $1 to the Cat Protection Society.

PretaPawte Gives something back

My cat Alvin was a rescue kitten that was left abandoned with his litter mates to fend for himself. If it wasn't for the tireless efforts of rescue shelters like the Cat Protection Society and the RSPCA we wouldn't be able to experience the joy and love that Alvin brings us everyday.

So here at PretaPawte we have decided that its time to give something back and I am please to announce that for the following week (7/4/09 to 14/4/09) for every "Georgie Chicken Dog Collar" sold PretaPawte will donate $1 to the RSPCA.
