Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!

I know we all read a bunch of different blogs, but I saw this over at the Talking Dogs Blog a while back and I just had to share it with you. If you have any old cell phones here’s a terrific way to get rid of them and to help pets at the same time!

Petco Foundation Cell Phone Donation

Your phone will make a difference!

The Petco Foundation is collecting and recycling old cell phones to aid in its mission of raising the quality of life for pets and people who need them. Proceeds from donated phones help create responsible pet owners, reduce the number of animals euthanized, rescue animals in crisis, and rehabilitate behavioral issues in pets.

>>> Download a mailing label <<<

Shipping Instructions:

  1. Place used phones and accessories in an envelope or small box. (If battery is not attached to phone, place tape over terminal ends.)
  2. Affix postage-paid mailing label to package.
  3. Seal package and place in mailbox.

I am thankful to Petco for this simple way to help.

I usually post awards on Monday, but since I had my Photo Contest post on Monday and I am always thankful when friends think of me, I’ll just include them here.

I am thankful to Simba & Audrey from Simba’s Antics, Wally, Ernie & Zoey from The Island Cats, Sherlock, Traveler & Ash from The Feline Purr-spective, and Allie, Ellie, Raz, Clifford & Cubby from Friends FurEver for sharing their 2012 Blog of the Year Award with us.

Brian's Home, adopt cats, we deserve it!

Concatulations on all your stars! And thanks for the word about donating your cell. My human has a couple old ones lying around. In fact, I think she still has the last one, which she, um, sort of accidentally smashed because it had “issues.” They probably don’t want that one!

Concats on all your stars! You are an all-star in our book. That is a great idea for old phones. Our mom uses her new one & her old one. She talks & texts on the new one but uses the old one as a camera and an alarm clock.
