Dachsund and paralyzed cat best friends

The Huffington Post shares this really great story for dog AND cat owners.

Ruth is the cat, who is paralyzed to some degree, and Idgie the dachsund is her best friend. They  were rescued together some month ago and are BFFs.

Ruth and Idgie were found about three months ago, abandoned at the end of a driveway in Osteen, Fla., according to the Orlando Sentinel. The pair, named after characters from “Fried Green Tomatoes,” were brought to Animal Control and eventually taken in by Hollywood Houndz Boutique & Spa in Lake Mary, Fla., according to WFLX.

Now they’re simply inseparable, as captured in the Sentinel video above. In fact, the friends are so close that when Idgie gets a new dog toy, the first thing she’ll do is bring it over to Ruth.

Calendar: Shirtless hunky guys pose with kittens in fundraiser for animal shelter

Hunky guys pose with kittens in fund raising calendar for animal shelter

Hunky guys donate time and images to help animal shelter with fundraiser and bring awareness to shelter animals and adoption.

From the Kittendales website:

The Kittendales project was conceived in early 2007 when the board of directors at Hull Seaside Animal Rescue was brainstorming about how to raise money for their cat shelter.

Chris Crotty, one of the founding members of the shelter decided it would be a good idea to put together a calendar of hunky men and cats. The concept was proposed to photographer Joanne Berman, who offered to shoot the calendar at no cost. Susan Davis, a board member at the time, offered to coordinate and give freely of her time to make the calendar happen. Susan and Joanne made it their “pet” project, and in the Spring of 2007, their hunt for a few good men began!

The response from the guys was overwhelming. Their willingness to donate their time, and desire to be a part of this venture, for the benefit of the kitties, was extraordinary!” (Kittendales.com)
