Rescue Kitties
If you're an animal lover, chances are you are on a dozen rescue mailing lists and inundated with requests for donations. There are so many out there, most of us can't possibly give to all that we want to. So if you're strapped for funds or are already donating to the max here's something you can do that will help the animals and not cost you a penny. The Animal Rescue Site is part of The Greater Good Network. Its a lovely place to visit. To help the animals, all you have to do is go in and click each day. Each click helps provide food for animals in shelters or sanctuaries. It can't get any easier than that. How is it funded? The funding is paid for by the site sponsors.
They've also got a great store and a percentage of everything sold goes to help the animals.
This is one of the items that I've bought: a mug that says Real Men Like Cats. Isn't this a hoot? I've also bought several pieces of jewelry.
Maybe you like animals but have other priorities, Saving the Rain Forrest, Breast Cancer Awareness, Child Heath, Hunger. You can do the same through The Greater Good Network.
If you 
go to the Hunger site, your click goes to help feed the hungry.
go to the Hunger site, your click goes to help feed the hungry.The Breast Cancer Site: your click goes toward free mammograms
The Rainforrest Site: your click goes toward the rainforest habitant for wildlife
Child Health: your click goes toward life saving health care
Each of the above sites also has a store where your purchases help support the charity.With a click of a key, you can make a difference.

I had links on my web page to the Greater Good Network. I need to add them to my new pages. Thanks for the reminder.
When I was first married, hubby hated cats, got one through a pet shop in E. Lansing for $5. Had L.E. for 21 years. Our county only has a pound where strays are destroyed. We just keep adding them to our menagerie. I do not begrudge vets a living, but it seems animal health has become as expensive as human care, and the major losers are the animals. Too many cats and dogs go un-spayed, un-neutered, and un-vaccinated.
You are so right, Rhobin. Vets are expensive. Ours gets a monthly chunk from us:) And it is the animals that suffer. But if folks are going to have pets they need to be responsible in that area. If one keeps an eye out, you can usually find a rescue or clinic that is running low cost spay and neuter.
21 years, that's wondrous. The longest we've had is 17.
Great post and great advice. I donate to my local no-kill shelter and the national ASPCA.
Good for you, Julia. Local no-kills need all the help they can get and the ASPCA is awesome.
