I've just had a chat with my Mum who's been trying to chose a cat to adopt for a friend. This is the story behind it:

Mum has always had cats but when Dad was ill and her own health was poor it seemed she wouldn't be able to have any more. About that time a friend mentioned she had been given a gift of sponsorship for a cat in the Malcolm Cat Protection Society in Cyprus (http://www.malcolmcat.org/). Knowing that Mum loves to care for any living thing, I got the details and set up a sponsorship for a half-blind cat called Paparelli. Now Mum has taken on the sponsorship for herself (although she now has her own cat at home), and she is looking among the Malcolm Cat sponsorships for a cat to sponsor for another friend whose health is making it increasingly hard to have a cat of her own.

Isn't it nice that my friend's friend's gift idea has had this knock-on effect and the cat sanctuary is benefitting several times over!

Another way to benefit animals is to click on the Animal Rescue Site which you can reach via www.thehungersite.com - advertisers pay towards food for rescued animals when we click on the button and besdies, there are several sister sites in the same cluster. It only takes a minute to click through them all and fund food for the needy, mammograms, child health. literacy and Rain Forest preservation too.
