As part of the Santa Kitty Toy Hop, I paid a visit to the cat adoption room at PetSmart last week. That is where Circle of Friends Animal Society (the rescue that Deli, Sampy, and Sophie were adopted from) has adoptions on the weekends. As a donation, I brought a whole pile of crochet bow ties and flowers for all of the adoptable kitties!
I thought these nice accessories might make all of the kitties feel more confident, and they also might help them to get the attention of potential adopters.
This handsome boy is Leo
Unfortunately, only a few of the kitties had collars to put the bow ties and flowers on. I didn’t realize that PetSmart just recently changed the rule about what types of collars are allowed, so COFAS is in the process of replenishing their stock of collars. Hopefully I will be able to donate some collars soon.
I was also able to stay for a couple of hours to play and love on the kitties. I had such a wonderful time, and I hope they did too. |
This precious girl is Toodle
This is Primrose – I thought a nice red flower was very fitting of her name

Along with the bow ties and flowers, I was able to give a nice little monetary donation as well. This donation came from all of the bow tie and flower orders we have had from all of our furiends. As you may know, 20% of all the proceeds we make from our bow tie and flower sales are donated to COFAS. So thank you to all that have ordered a bow tie or flower – you have helped some very wonderful kitties!
This is so awesome! Do make sure you add your link to the blog hop!
Those bow ties and flowers will make the kitties irresistable! Good job!
What a sweet gift! They look so adorably festive that I just know it will help them to get adopted 🙂
What a great idea!!

Well done ! We’re glad to be part of Santa Kitty Toy Hop too ! Purrs
Oh this is wonderful! Your bow ties and flowers sure will make kitties feel more confident, and draw lots of attention from their future families! Leo looks very much like Sampson. I hope he and other shelter kitties will find wonderful forever homes like Sampson did!
What a great idea. It is too bad that more didn’t have collars so they could display these beautiful bows and flowers.
What a great idea to help catch a potential adopter’s eye! Anything that can help get their attention so they look long enough to fall in love.
Awww those are a most pawesome gift!!! Just purrfect! xoxo
Y dat’s so pawsum. Weez so glad yous wuz able to help.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Lexi
The flowers and bow ties look great on the kitties. That was a great idea to take some for the adoptable animals to help show off their beautiful furs.
The kitties all look very attractive in the flowers and bow! They will no doubt catch a potential adopter’s eye! Great idea 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
Now that’s a fun and wonderful thing!!!
You are so creative and thoughtful! We bet those will help those kitties be even MORE attractive to their potential forever families. 🙂
That is so sweet, Emily. If a kitty were wearing a bow tie or a flower, it would get my attention! Our friend Barney has a bow tie on his collar (as part of the collar) at Cat Care, and it’s adorable, but I think yours are cuter and definitely more noticeable! 🙂
What a sweet, sweet post! What wonderful gifts for the kitties, such adorable photos.
What a sweet gift! They look so adorably festive that I just know it will help them to get adopted 🙂
