Yesterday we attended the Nevada Humane Society's
"All Things Cats" Cat Convention
It was a blast!!!!
An all day adoption event for the NHS and a celebration for cat lovers. Held in a huge ballroom at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino the room so welcoming..... classical music playing, nice and warm (it was snowing outside), vendors like us, local celebrities, and in the center of it all were beautiful and lovable cats all looking for their perfect humans.
It is a custom at the NHS when a pet gets adopted that they ring a bell. Music to our ears to hear that bell ringing all day long and people stopping in their tracks to cheer and clap.
As cat toy makers this event is our favorite. People "get" what we do and we are flattered that they love our toys. The photo above is our table when we first started... by the end of the night it was almost empty! But even more importantly we were making cats and their people very happy! It is a wonderful feeling to have someone walk up to the table and select a toy for their baby or their newly adopted fur kid with such excitement and love.
We also will be donating 10% of our sales from yesterday to the NHS which we are happy to say it will be
"a nice chunk of change" :D
This is a video that a supporter of the NHS made......
We are still waiting for the final number of adoptions to be tallied. But when we left last night it was very close to 50... 50 cats adopted in one day... 50 cats finally going home!
ROCK ON NHS!
