Online Auction to Benefit Homeless Cat Management Team
The Homeless Cat Management Team is having an auction on Dakota’s Auction Page and everyone is invited to stop by and bid on over 100 items in an amazing array from practical to risqué to not even cat related. You’ll find handmade cat collars and cat health books and handmade cat jewelry and cat patterned cat beds and home made cat trees and collections of baseball cards and other books and purses and handmade cotton shopping bags and I Love Lucy collections and Pittsburgh sports memorabilia and gift certificates to restaurants and tanning and…some rather intimate items for intimate moments. Yes, really, in an auction to benefit spay and neuter for cats. Only the cats are being spayed and neutered, and apparently crazy cat ladies aren’t the only ones in the group, nor are they dowdy unsocialized middle-aged ladies who “can’t find a man”. In fact, we all know that people who care about cats also have many other interests and even do other things.
size 1-1/2 in circle,
value $35.00 pr pair, FREE SHIPPING (other styles and colors available)
Several people made jewelry and other gift items just for this auction, and two rescuers made really deluxe cat tree/beds—a multi-level carpeted tree with sisal rope for scratching on some of the posts, and a three-level kitty bunk bed complete with ladder and “mattresses”!
All items were donated by cat rescuers and friends associated with the Homeless Cat Management Team. I added my crocheted pawprints and a few hand-printed t-shirts.
So if you’re shopping for gifts for yourself or a cat lover, housewares or decorations for your house, or things for special moments, don’t hesitate to browse the auction page and bid, knowing that your entire final amount will go to pay for spay, neuter or veterinary care for a rescued cat.
About the auction
The auction opened a day early on July 19 and will be open until July 27, 2013 and is only available on Facebook having an auction on Dakota’s Auction Page. So sorry to those of you who don’t have access to Facebook!

About Dakota’s Auction Page
Chris Newbold started the auction page out of personal need to pay off his dog Dakota’s vet bills for her cancer treatment so he decided to “pay it forward” by setting up online auctions to help rescues and individuals. He sets it up, runs it, closes it out, contacts the winners, collects the money and then sends it to the receipient, even while working full time (and then some) and a house full of pets.
He verifies each auction request by checking vet info, vet reference, other references from web page/facebook page, previous adopters/fosters etc, 501c3 status if necessary. For individuals and rescues who are not a 501c3, payment is only made directly to the vet of choice (as most rescues/individuals have a vet bill to pay or will need to pay depending on the circumstance).
For more information and to see the auction items, visit Dakota’s Auction Page.

Great, thanks! Think in terms of spays and neuters, or at least rabies and distemper shots–$8 and $10.
That is a furry nice auction. I am going to ask Texas to share it on its social profiles!
Also I wanted to thank you for your birthday wishes for my purrthday, on Texas’ blog. I know I am terribly terribly late, and I apologize and so I send you plenty of purrs!
Kitshka, how nice of you to wake up and visit! And thanks for sharing. We know things are going on, so don’t worry, we understand! Have a great Saturday!
