A candle for cats - National Homeless Animals Day



Today is National Homeless Animal's Day and candlelight vigils are being held across the nation for animals in need. Not just cats!

So we are beginning a vigil here on this blog as well, in solidarity with shelters and organizations who are out there on this rainy New York night, holding up candles to remind us all there is more left to be done.

I'll send this off to the Carnival of the Cats on Sunday. Please forward far and wide, to anyone you know who has a blog, and I'll add them here if they send a link to their candlelight vigil post for National Homeless Animals Day. If you don't have a candle, post a photo of your rescued pet, or a story of a homeless pet that has touched you.


Georg has lamps lit in honor the homeless at Running Scared. Kenya Dog and Sassy stand guard.

Rooney and a virtual candle tread along the Bridalpath (Must add these new blogs to the blogroll!)

A small flame burns brightly at the House of the (Mostly) Black Cats! Ana also has a tribute photo on the (Mostly) Black Cats blog.

A very gorgeous Maggie sends her flame from Autumn's Meadow You can see Maggie's post again (and see Maggie grow up!) at a sister blog Maggie and Molly.

Phoenix shares the history of all the rescued pets at The Blogpound

Derek is afraid of fire, so there are no candles at Draw Circles. Instead Derek got his own picture posted, and Carrie made a donation to the Tulsa SPCA.

With eyes like these, Squooshable doesn't need a candle.

Still more to come! Once you get your post up, leave a URL in the comment below and I'll get you up here. Sunday is OK, too, since the Carnival is on Sunday.
