Furry Birthday 6

Hi Friends,

Since 2008, I have been spending my birthdays for the animals in many different ways. From collecting dog/cat food, to collecting coins to sponsor spaying/neutering of strays, to other gimmicks!

This year, my plan is to feed the shelter animals of the Philippine Welfare Society. As of August 1st, PAWS is taking care of 256 cats and 74 dogs. I have to raise funds in order to prepare the following:

1. Twelve (12) kilos of boiled "sawdust" or ground pork

2. 1-2 kilos cooked rice

3. Twelve (12) kilos of boiled galunggong

4. One (1) huge "kalabasa" or pumpkin

5. Six (6) kilos of cooked rice

6. Two (2) large plastic basin

7. Two (2) or more long-handled ladle for mixing

8. Disposable plastic gloves for deboning the fish

9. Old newspapers to line the table

10. One (1) XL garbage bag

11. Detergent 

12. Dishwashing soap and sponges

In 2009, I started collecting 5 and 10 cents from friends and deposited it in PAWS's bank account to pay for spaying/neutering of feral cats I see from around my area. I called my mini-project, MESSAGE CENT.

I like this project a lot as it sends the message that it does not always have to be a big amount of money; that one does not have to rich in order to help; that even our pocket change can go a long way.

This year, I'd like to use my birthday again as an excuse to appeal for your help. I will not ask for a big amount of money but for your spare coins and pocket change. I will be giving away empty water bottles that you can fill with Php 0.05, Php 0.10, Php 0.25, or any amount that your pocket can share.

I will collect the bottles back September 30, 2013.You have two months to fill the bottle. My birthday is on October 4 and I target to feed on October 5, if PAWS can accommodate the date. I will update you of the final details once ready.

October 4 is also World Animal Day celebration and the feast of St. Francis de Assis, the Catholics' patron saint for animals. 

Please let me know if you want to sign up so I hand over the bottle to you. You can also recycle and reuse any empty water bottle and surrender once filled or on September 30th, whatever comes first. 

You have no idea how far your participation can go. 

Thank you in advance.

Love,

Fox and all the animals in the world!
