Food Drive

Me Bad. I should have shared this on Friday.  Many thanks to Fabulous Foster Mom Carol a/k/a Florence Nightingale for coming up with this food drive.

As some of you know, or if you don't know, I'll tell you...   I distribute 40 pounds of food each morning.  I've been doing that for well over 10 years, but lets just use 10 as an example to calculate:

365 (days) x 10 (years) = 3,650 x 40 = 1,460,000 million pounds of dry cat food distributed over the past 10 years.

$9.00 (average price per 16 lb bag) ÷ 1,460,000 = $162,222.00

Wait --- did I do that right?  Any mathematicians out there?  :)

And that is dry cat food alone.  I also feed over a case of wet food every day.  We won't even begin to calculate that!  And lets not forget the TNR's done over the years.  Lets not forget the rescues!  122 last year!  It costs money for all that!  Not to mention the freebies I've done for people.

Wow, ASTOUNDING.  I could have done so much with that money.  Instead, I kept many animals alive with that money.  To be honest though, I wish I had never seen what I saw over 20 years ago.  All those illuminated cat eyes, glowing in the dark.  Knowing they were hungry.  And look at what I am responsible for now.

I think thats it for now.  I am too blown away by that figure.   I have a headache.  I must get off to work so that I can keep feeding these homeless precious souls!

Have a great day.
