Lots of exciting things going on for CatCentric!

CatCentric Posted on November 28, 2016 by Tracy DionNovember 28, 2016

dscf4387-darkened-and-cleanedHi, all! Happy Holidays!

I’m super pumped to share some info about some VERY cool things happening over the next few days and weeks!

1. First, tonight, at 7:00 pm EDT, I will be hosting CatCentric’s very first live video via Facebook. And not just live – it’ll be interactive! You’ll be able to comment while I’m talking, as well as ask questions and give feedback. This will be a great opportunity to get to know each other better!

I’m half petrified and half exhilarated, which should make for an interesting session. LOL. I hope all of you can participate and help support me as CatCentric takes its next steps on this awesome journey of better kitty lives through better care! 🙂

2. Speaking of next steps, part of what I’ll be covering in the live video is… wait for it… CatCentric will soon become a legal nonprofit!! As an incorporated nonprofit, I’ll be able to work more closely with shelters, rescues and other organizations (and, hopefully, help owners with behavioral issues BEFORE their kitties land in those shelters!), and CatCentric will receive discounts on trade shows, purchases and other events, greatly broadening the number of cat owners we can reach. Very exciting, right?!!

I’ve been funding CatCentric almost exclusively from my own pocket, but for this, I need your help. If you love kitties, or CatCentric has helped you in the past, or you just have a few dollars that need a new home, please hit that donate (and share) button! 🙂

And thank you so much!! Your support is appreciated more than you can know!

3. And speaking of trade shows – I’m representing CatCentric at another one coming up the first weekend of December, hosted by Lucky Dogs Daycare and Pet Spa. This one is much smaller than the New England Pet Expo (and I’ll be covering the cost myself) but, because of that smaller footprint, it’ll be a great opportunity for networking with local businesses and rescues, as well as pet sitters and groomers. The purrfect launching pad for the soon to be nonprofit CatCentric!

Clink the links for more info. And if you’re local, come by and see me!

Saturday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1311109122267194/
Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1807162392903004/

——————

Can you tell how excited I am about these new events and changes? I can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store for CatCentric and I hope all of you will continue to accompany and champion us as we expand! Your support has been amazing and invaluable and I thank you for everything you’ve done to help. I’m not going to stop until ALL cat owners know the importance of fresh foods, social interaction and environmental enrichment! ♥

——————–

P.S. Don’t forget to do all your Amazon, Best buy, and other online holiday shopping through the CatCentric affiliate links! It costs nothing extra, and everything you buy will generate a (tiny, but still important) commission for CatCentric. Thanks so much!! ♥   🙂
