GregRobert Discount Pet Supplies http://www.grpet.com/ donates five heated cat beds to Wishbones for Pets Charity Drive.

The economy is slowly recovering but not fast enough for cats without homes. Shelters across the United States are overflowing and need supplies to offset budget cuts. GregRobert took the initiative this week to donate warm beds to the Wishbones for Pets Charity Drive which supports local animal shelters.

Home Alone Critter Care of Walled Lake Michigan, a representative company for Wishbones, accepted the heated cat beds graciously. The official Wishbones for Pets drive starts in a few weekds- but supplies are needed year round at most shelters. The heated cat beds are especially beneficial for cats with arthritis or other health issues. Many cats are delivered to shelters very hungry or sick. Warm beds are necessary year round to help aid sick cats to recovery.

Michelle Miller, director of community relations at GregRobert Pet Supplies stated, "Every little bit that anyone can do to help is a little bit more to the life of an animal without a home. We are fortunate that we could help in these tough economic times."

About Wishbones for Pets
The mission of Wishbones for Pets is to offer a universal community service program hosted by pet sitters that would like to collect and distribute pet goods/funds for local pet shelters and other pet related agencies in their own community. Pet sitters care about their local community, the pet sitting industry and most importantly the animals.

The time frame for this event is approximately six weeks prior to Thanksgiving and may extend one week after Thanksgiving with one exception. Contact a pet sitting service in your area to see if they are offering the program or make a donation to the shelter of your choice.

From Pam B. - GregRobert's local contact:

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.

She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
