Imagine my surprise to learn that our other blog ForeverHomeWanted.com was a Petties Finalist in the Best Rescue/Cause Blog category. We were busy reading some other pals posts about The Petties and discovered that some of our pals got emails notifying them that they were finalists and then they were notified by The Petties crew that they were not, that some type of mistake was made. We never ever got an email notifying us at all. We headed over to vote for some of our pals and saw our other blog on the list. So, who knows how we ended up there.
We started ForeverHomeWanted.com to share information about pets in need of forever homes, but also to call attention to all the good that is being done. There are so many good stories out there and our hope was to inspire others to do something good for pets.
There are so many good blogs over at The Petties and all are worthy of you vote. Those that were notified and then got the just kidding email are worthy of your hugs. So, please go vote for someone, the deserve the love!
Speaking of awards, the wonderful gang over at Kitty Cat Chronicles were very sweet and shared their Shine On Award with us.
If you don’t already know Delilah, Sampson, Sophie, Sassy, and Caster, then you best head on over and check them out. Their Mom Emily does a terrific job for them and the blog is terrific. Plus, they are Pettie Finalists too. Thanks sweet friends, we appreciate you!
Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Congratulations on your rescue and cause blog being nominated, Brian! I think you do important work, both here and on that blog, and I’m glad it is being acknowledged.
I didn’t really get an email either. I just got one saying “hey we made a mistake”, but it never said I was a new finalist. Went over to vote and saw I was there. But grats to you, I had been nominating you some.
ConCATulations to the nomination on the Petties award !
Me try to vote efurryday (when my mom-person remember).
XOXO
Hm. They must have humans operating things over there. Well, congratulations to you if it helps your causes!

Concatulations to your award! I’m sad for the confusion at the petties award this year. I feel sorry for all who were nominated first and later removed. But I will vote for the finalists, at the end it is for a good cause .
Congrats!
so well deserved!
congratulations – you should all feel proud, such wonderful work.
The Petties announcement was a big mess, wasn’t it!! Such a shame for all the great blogs! ConCats on being a finalist though. Have been voting and wish you all the best! xx
Congrats on the nomination and award, hopefully you win at your bin!
Indeed it has been a bit of confusion ..I was saying on another blog that being dwon under we really have not embraced the power of blogging as a social forum ad so no such awards ever seem to be geared towards us..perhaps in some ways this is good..we agree the end result of a rescue gaining some funds is the most important …even though you had no idea you were a nominee ..that must have been bizarre! we will of course vote and wish every blogger who is out there doing their thing for rescue get a great big… Read more »
Congratulations on the nomination, Brian! And on your award too. 🙂
Congratulations on the well-deserved awards! The Petties does sound like a confusing situation.

Yes, congratulations on your Rescue Site. Very nice and very useful and informing. Sorry we’ve been missing for so long – we’re back now I think!
Congrats!!!!
You’re correct Brian, the Petties were so messed up this year and managed so unprofessionally. However, there is still money on the table to be donated to rescue and so we all need to get busy voting…IMFO
Oh Brian, I am so glad you are a finalist! You deserve it. The service you and Dad provide is invaluable. xxooxoxxx
Brian you are such a kind goodhearted soul!! Bless your heart. Mom has been to that site to and it is rather confusing…she thought it was just her untechie mind.
Hugs madi your bfff
Congratulations on the nomination, Brian. You do great work and you deserve recognition for it.
It seems Petties is really messed up this year. But yay for your blog to be the finalist.
Big congratulations, Brian!
We were so happy to see your nomination! But it does seem the Petties really messed up this year. I would like to think that they could come up with a solution that would make it better understood what happened and why. We voted for you! We sure do hope for the best outcome because really every single blog is a winner in our eyes!
Well congratulations on your Rescue Blog being nominated! YEAH!
congratulations. we hope that people will be more educated about rescuing animals.
Congratulations on being a finalist on The Petties! We did read about the disappointment by a blogger about being notified about their nomination only to another email saying it was an error.
Whoa! I nominated Forever Homes Wanted like crazy last year but didn’t do nominating this year. Whoever wins, a worthy charity will be getting the money but I still hope you win and are glad you’re getting the recognition.
Congratulations on your award and your Petties nomination. We have heard about all the confusion with the Petties this year and it is rather disheartening. Good luck to you!
I was kind of surprised at the blogs on the Petties this year as I know I was voting hot and heavy for our favorits, of which you are one of course, and see a few up fur honors. Some I really do not get as, well, length of blogging does not mean a best in class in our book. Anymeow… There are donations to be given so we trudge over and vote dutifurry.
Purrs and Best of Blogging

Congrats on your nomination and award. Voted.
Concatulations on your Petties nomination, Brian! You do so much work to make Forever Home Wanted a great resource, and we’re really happy for you.
The whole situation with the mishandling of nominations and hurt feelings has made us very sad, especially seeing bloggers starting to vent frustration at each other. Everyone is doing such important work, getting the word out about cats and cat causes. We are trying to focus on that, and on the fact that rescues will benefit in the end.

Concats on being a finalist Brian. I have been voting for your other blog.
That’s crazy but we’re sure proud of you!!
It just goes to show, folks appreciate that you care!
Concatulations on being a Petties finalist! We didn’t realize you had another blog until you mentioned in in a comment on our blog yesterday. And we were very confused about the Petties as well – we weren’t on the original finalist list, and we never got any sort of email notifying us we made the revised list. I just noticed our name when I went to go vote. Very exciting, but I do feel bad for those that got the “just kidding” email… We will be voting for you!!! And thanks for the shout out 🙂 So glad we found… Read more »
Congrats on your nomination, Brian. We agree, the Petties this year are screwed up…and we wish you lots of luck! But the real winners will be the shelters that get the prize monies. That’s what’s really important!
Concats on being a finalist! This will be a big boost to whatever shelter benefits from the winner! You guys are all wonderful!
Congrats Brian for your nomination! We will most definitely be voting for you ;-)You do so much good work for animals!
I don’t follow awards much (well, not at all), but I forgot about your other site so I’m glad you reminded us here. Good luck with the Petties.
Congratulations on the well-deserved finalist nomination! We will be voting for you and so admire and respect the work you do to help animals!
In a purrfect world, you are IN! Gotta go vote now.
It’s so sad about this year’s Petties nomination process. We are super glad and proud that you are a finalist. You SO deserve it for all the great work you do. We are voting every day for you, and so many of our other pals. Hugs!
