We have a big milestone coming up soon, our Zaha will be celebrating her first birthday, her first year living with us and our first year as cat owners!
Zaha was a stray, a street cat, well actually a street kitten! (read her story here!) She was the most adorable thing I had ever seen. I had never raised a cat before so I was nervous about taking her home. Would I know what to do? Would she like us? Would Amberly be able to breathe around her? There were so many ifs and buts but in the end, I brought her home. We instantly fell in love with her and she has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for our family!
It's almost been a year and I am still very happy with my decision. Zaha has grown to be a beautiful, elegant, caring, loyal cat and we love her to pieces. She sleeps with JC and I every night and waits for us at the door when we get home. She loves to give "kisses" and is very vocal about how she feels.
In celebration of our big milestone, we have decided to give back to shelter cats. Shelter cats need all the extra loving they can get! Our own Zaha could have ended up at a shelter had I not rescued her. Giving back is a great opportunity to help out the shelters and show our children the importance of helping animals in need. I called our nearest shelter and asked what we could donate and there biggest request was cat food! With this in mind, I made sure to pick up some extra goodies while I was at Dollar General shopping for Zaha.
Dollar General has become my go-to store for pet food. They have lower prices than most other pet stores and I can always use coupons!
I picked up a couple of cans of Zaha's favorite cat food, 9Lives®, in the Heart Cuts with real chicken and beef in gravy and the super supper!! 9Lives® is dedicated to the health and happiness of cats everywhere. Why? Because 9Lives®believes your cat deserves to live well.
I also purchased the big 20lb bag of 9Lives Daily Essentials® dry food, some 9Lives®soft treats, a small throw, a food bowl, a litter box and a cat toy. I figured a little bit of everything helps! I used the litter box as a basket and just placed everything inside. I can't wait to deliver our package to the shelter!!
Oh and let's not forget the coupons! I have here coupons for both the 9Lives® wet cat food and the dry cat food.
Can you imagine if everyone of us donated just one of these essentials basket to a shelter? It would be so amazing for all those cats to feel so loved. You know what would be even more amazing? Getting out to a shelter and adopting a cat! They need the love and so do you! I mean imagine hanging out on your couch binging on your favorite series and looking over and seeing this? Doesn't it just melt your heart?
9Lives® brand celebrates and champions all cats.
