Facebook started a new thing for brands to create frames for fans.

I am so relieved that the Wildlife Waystation was spared last night!

Wildlife Waystation was nearly surrounded by the #‎SandFire last night that came within 1/2 mile of their 400 lions, tigers, chimps, bears and other wild animals. Huge shout out to Bobbi Brink for heading out to help them, along with everyone else in the community who offered space, trailers and muscle. During the night the winds shifted moving the fires away from the Waystation and at last report the sanctuary is safe. This was a gut wrenching couple of days for those who have rescued wild animals from being used as pets and pay to play props.

 

There shouldn't be a need for places like Big Cat Rescue or the Wildlife Waystation, where huge populations of captive bred wild animals can be in peril from natural disasters. We can keep tragedies like these from happening by stopping the problem at its root: End private possession of big cats. Please take action now at BigCatAct.com by sending the easy email to your lawmaker AND calling them. You'll get their number when you enter your zip code.

 

And you can ask USDA to stop cub handling with all species and ages of wild cats at TigerRescue.com

 

This fire could have burned hundreds of caged animals alive last night. They were spared, but it is a scenario that is likely to repeat, if we don't stop the breeding and discarding of wild cats as photo and pay to play props.

 

I am grateful that we can afford the tools we need.  Yesterday the iMac in the Kitten Cabana seemed to have bit the dust, so I ordered a new iMac for Afton to use on building videos.  She has the oldest machine, being a 2012, so the boost in power will really boost her productivity.

 

I am listening to a podcast about building totally sustainable housing from natural materials that includes ways to harness solar power, and turn dung into fuel, and has built in hydroponic gardens that are fertilized from the tilapia fish pools.  Each unit will be 700sf and about $35,000  I am thankful that I have access to such great thinkers and the ability to make the most of them.

 

I’d really love to buy Fox Valley pet formulas, but that’s not my wheel house, so I sent this to Steve Watters, who created the LittleCatsHelpingBigCats.com initiative selling cat treats with our branding.

 

If I were in your line of work, I'd try to buy out http://www.foxvalleynutrition.com/product-lines/milkreplacers/

 

They make the best milk replacers we've ever found, but no one has ever heard of them and they are killing themselves by not offering any sort of online purchase by credit card.

 

Their website says they will take a credit card, but they don't, from what Jamie tells me.  They take the orders by email or phone.

 

Then you don't hear from them forever.  You call or email them and they tell you they forgot to send out your order...It will arrive eventually, if you keep hounding them.

 

Then they send it with a bill that they are hoping the customer will pay but many of their clients are poor rehabbers who might forget to send the money, by justifying that Fox Valley "forgot" to send their order in time to save a life.

 

It's just run so poorly and yet is such an outstanding product that foster parents of kittens, and rehabbers rave over.  If it were done right, I think it would be an amazing source of income.  If they don't want to sell, then maybe you could figure out the magic in their formula and offer an alternative that people could actually purchase in a timely manner.
