Toys for Pets Program: Because Every Cat Needs Cat Toys

Oct 102011

The CatToys.com company motto, Because Every Cat Needs Cat Toys, means a little bit more when you apply it to our Toys For Pets Program. The Toys For Pets Program allows customers like you to quickly and easily add a small donation whenever you place an order at CatToys.com. The proceeds from all toy donations are sent out to shelters and rescues across the country that are awaiting  your donations.

For some cats this will be their first experience with toys. Can you believe that? A life without cat toys? Sending toys to shelters gives them the opportunity to play with the cats and kittens which helps socialize them. Socializing the cats helps them get a forever home.

If you know a shelter or a rescue group that could benefit from our program please have them stop by our website for more information and an application.

Here are a few of the shelters and rescues we have recently sent donations.

Thanks to everyone who donated for making the lives of these animals a little brighter until they find their forever homes.

Help Donate Food With Just A Mouse Click

Cats, Cool Cat News No Responses »
Sep 082011

Normally we think of mice as food, but today (and every day) you can donate food with just the click of your computer mouse. Just visit FreeKibble.com and FreeKibbleKat.com and answer their trivia questions to donate 10 pieces of kibble (total of 20 pieces by visiting both).

Don’t worry if you get the questions wrong. The animals will still get the kibble donated and you get to learn something new.

Today, Thursday September 8th) FreeKibble.com is donating all the food they raise to two shelters in areas that were recently hard hit by hurricane Irene.

These much deserving shelters are Central Vermont Humane Society (http://cvhumane.com/) and the Fayetteville, NC Animal Protection Society ((http://www.fapspet.org/). This food will help them continue to support those effected by Irene.

So please take a minute out of your day today to help them reach today’s goal of 10,000 meals or 1 million pieces of kibble. Simply go to FreeKibble.com and FreeKibbleKat.com to answer the questions on their home pages.

While they have a big goal set for themselves for today, please remember you can donate kibble EVERY day simply by playing their trivia game.

What are Catty Stacks? Simply the best box your cat will ever play in!

Catty Stacks are a truly unique way to give your cat a place to hangout and hide in your house. Unlike other cat furniture, Catty Stacks are completely customizable and expandable!

You choose your color combinations, or get all one color, and set them up however you wish. Don’t like the layout or it does quiet fit that space? Simply rearrange the Catty Stacks boxes to fit your needs. Make it tall or make it long. It is all up to you.

Add a blanket or towel inside one of the cubes and your kitty has an instant cuddle hideout. Your cat will have fun exploring or just plan napping on this “contemporary, eco-friendly, economical, and configurable alternative to traditional, expensive, bulky, and unsightly cat furniture”.

Catty Stacks are available in five colors to match any decor. They are only $14.99 per box. So why not pick up 3 or 4 today and build a little kitty fort for your best friend?

What others are saying about Catty Stacks:

  • BorisKitty.com says, “Dey r Pawsum” (You might recognize him from the Catty Stacks Boris’ Bundle on our site.)
  • Whataslacker.com says, “What I liked about the Catty Stacks is the fact that you can build and rebuild them in any configuration that you want, kind of like giant kitty LEGO bricks.”

June is Adopt a Cat Month

Cats, Kittens No Responses »
Jun 132011

We all know that the early part of the year is kitten season. Along with the warmer weather we get a new batch of kittens looking for homes. Shelters are already filled to the rim with cats that need our help. Take a look at just one rescue here in PA. One By One Cat Rescue has nearly a hundred and fifty cats available for adoption on PetFinder.com.

That is why June has become Adopt a Cat month.

Even if you can not actually adopt a cat this month (I know if you are like me you would love to help them all), why not adopt a cat virtually?

Many shelters and rescues have a sponsorship program where you can virtually adopt a cat by helping them with the costs of that cat on a monthly basis until it finds a forever home.

Please consider adopting or sponsoring a cat this month.

What's Bugging You?

Cat Toys, Cats 1 Response »
May 022011

It is Spring time and we all know as the weather warms up our cats are on the prowl for anything that moves.

That includes bugs.

Bugs are also a popular cat toy format too. CatToys.com has plenty to offer your little bug hunter.

Check out the new KONG Fuzz Bugs, which are actually two toys in one. You have the way cool buggy body and attached to that is a rattle ball on a bungee! The bungee and ball are attached with Velcro so they can be removed at any time.

But if your kitty is really looking for something a little more interactive and life-like in their bug toys, check out the NEKO FLIES cat toys. These are really great. We have bundled all the great Neko Flies bugs into one package. You’ll get creeping bugs, flying bugs and even feather tailed bugs for your cat to go crazy about.

We know you’ll enjoy your cat wanting to play with these toys over the real thing.

Easter Can Be Dangerous to Cats

Cats, Health No Responses »
Apr 202011

Here is a short list of plants that you see this time of year that are toxic to both cats and dogs.

Easter Lily (ALL Lilies)
While Easter Lilies are not toxic to dogs they are highly toxic to cats and can cause immediate kidney failure with only one leaf eaten. Other lilies such as the Calla Lily and the Day Lily are toxic to dogs as well as cats. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, excessive drinking and urination.

Hyacinth
This flower is part of the lily family and can be highly poisonous. Symptoms include: Intense vomiting, diarrhea (occasionally with blood), depression and tremors.

Daffodil
The bulb of this flower is the most dangerous part, but any part of the plant can cause sever problems. Symptoms of ingestion are vomiting, salvation, and diarrhea. If a large amount is eaten it can cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias.

Tulip
Again this flower is in the same family as the lily and like the Daffodil the bulb has the highest amounts of toxins. Symptoms to watch for are vomiting, depression, diarrhea, and extreme or hypersalivation.

Easter Rose
This plant is also known as Hellebore, Christmas Rose, or Lenten Rose. It is not a rose at all rather a bushy stalk with pinkish white flowers. Symptoms of ingestion are drooling, abdominal pain, diarrhea, colic, and depression.

 

For a complete list of toxic plants please see the ASPCA’s list of Plants Toxic to cats, dogs and horses.

 

Other Easter dangers include candy especially chocolate, Easter Grass that you fill your baskets with, candy wrappers, candles and other decorations. Please be mindful of your cats and where you place your decorations.

Dec 282010

For years we have been getting donations from our wonderful customers to send out toys and treats to shelters and rescues across the country.

We just wanted to keep you informed where your donations are going so we will start posting the recipients here on our blog. Please consider donating by simply adding a treat or toy donation item in your shopping cart before to check out and THANK YOU for your support.

Here are the CatToys.com Recipients for November/December:

We helped Boris Kitty raise funds to help two local cats that were shot with a pellet gun by an unknown assailant.  Boris was able to raise $1200. The funds were given to the owner of Peanut to help reduce the financial burden of the vet bills from the incident. While Kritter Kondos, treats and toys were given to Kiki and Peanut to keep the happy and safe.

Thanks to our great customers we were able to donate $125 in cash to Boris Kitty’s drive.
