Reason to Celebrate!

OH, boy. We're exhausted around here!  All that fundraising, all that walking, and all that  post-fundraising and post-walking partying!  

The Kibblesmiths we're set free and went wild on the set and had one sparkly, shiny good time knocking over and chewing on everything in their path.  This is how kittens celebrate.

And those Kibblesmiths have great reason to celebrate.  You know why?  Because thanks to all of you, Team IBKC raised an incredible $131,730 for homeless cats and kittens!

WhoooOOoo HooOOOooo!

We're sweeping up the confetti right now, and working on our giant thank you note to all of you who made that incredible total happen. We'll be posting that shortly.

There's so much more to come this week.  We'll break down that big total and show you how we got there and we'll let you know the totals for the specific funds and programs we raised money for. I'll share lots of pictures from the walk.  We'll announce prize winners too!!  And, we still have a couple more alumni updates to share that we couldn't squeeze in last week.

So do stay tuned!  It's going to be a great week!

THANK YOU, FRIENDS!



PS I know we used curling ribbon in this party scene and we know it's not a safe kitten toy. It was used while the kittens were very closely supervised.  Keep your curling ribbon out of paws-reach. You don't want kitty ingesting it.

  5. Wow, that is an absolutely fantastic amount of money! I am very proud of all of us and extremely grateful to the leaders of Team IBKC for doing so much to help homeless animals. Laurie and Craig, I commend you for your efforts! In fact I'm giving you a standing ovation right now, even though you can't see me.

  9. This is exactly what it looked like back in the day when Led Zeppelin would trash a hotel room. Sparkle balls and curling ribbon everywhere.

  11. Looks like they partied a little too hard with the 'nip and went a little crazy. They'll be feeling it later. ;)

  14. In the theater biz, when a show is over we call it striking the set, or just "strike." These kittens are very good at it! (Don't tell them -- they'll want to join the union!)
