Soft Kitty...Warm kitty....not so little ?



Hey everyone! I figure id give a casual update since im still estranged from my fb audience *grabby hands* T_T In 8 days ill be BACK! I want to turn to my boss and be like " i need the week off" "oh wow why?" "...I havent been on FB for an entire month*Stares blankly*" haha


Monday is going to be pretty long since we are hosting an open casting call to anyone wanting to model for us and walk in our charity fashion show. There are so many charities Id want to help with - like the In-Sync Exotics Wildlife rescue. But we went with the Scholarship America fund this time which helps kids pay for college. Which i wish i had help from when i went to school haha




The In-Sync Exotics rescue center is based in Texas and is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of neglected, abused and unwanted exotic felines. As a fairly recently established organization (2000) they house and care for so many breath taking creatures. Reading some of the stories of how they were found made me want to throw up and punch humanity though T_T



"When the door opened we were hit with an unmistakable smell of rotten meat. On the left was a freezer of old rotten meat that had been covered in maggots then refroze. Just past the freezer was the first “stall” on the left. There were two cougars inside with piles of feces, old rotten food covered with bugs and maggots and absolutely no water. What we saw next was the most horrifying of all. Kane was laying in a corner weaving and shaking back and forth and was obviously very sick."



"His condition was so bad upon his arrival that we were not even 100% sure he was a lynx. He suffered severe ringworm, which left him almost entirely hairless. He was also anemic and significantly underweight at only 10.5 pounds."




But reading about how they have rejuvenated these poor guys is wonderful. Course, since it is a non profit organization and taking care of these endangered creatures costs tremendous amounts of money they are always looking for donations and volunteers.


There are many ways you can help, including, but not limited to:

  • Washing Bowls and Buckets
  • Cleaning enclosures
  • Preparing animal diets
  • Helping with special events
  • Fund raising
  • Building new enclosures





In addition to volunteers helping with the day-to-day chores, they also need skilled volunteers to help with special projects:



Skilled Volunteers:

  • Welders
  • Plumbers
  • Electricians
  • Landscapers
  • Carpenters


Marketing Support Volunteers:


  • Press Contacts
  • Finding contributions
  • Setting up corporate/business sponsors
  • Designing fundraising materials
  • Producing/printing fundraising materials
  • Obtaining donations for stocking gift shop
