Great news! In addition to the dozens of items to be auctioned by Purrs members, we have secured a number of donations from commercial organisations for auction! :wow:
My office is slowly filling up with about 15 'cat chasers' from Nice Cat Stuff; a toy fishing reel with catnip mice from Mutley and Mog; and an encyclopaedia, feeding mat and cat bed from Royal Canin. I'm awaiting deliveries from three other companies which I'll announce when they arrive.
Isn't it great that these companies want to get involved with Purrs and help us raise money for Paws Inn? I hope you'll all join in and bid on their items ;D
:yayyy:
-
This is stunning news and the list has been growing day by day ;D

Well done to whoever has been involved in procuring these items. I've already got my eye on some of them ;)

Now a number of us have our eyes on certain things, so let the battle commence on 7 Dec :rofl: :rofl:

:Crazy: With all these brand new commercially donated items you wont be needing our dug-out-of-the-attic-and-dusted-off cast-offs ;)

Our commerical sponsor page is up ;D pop on to it from the news section link to support the wonderful companies who have donation some absolutely fantastic items for our auction. There's gonna be some great bidding wars :evillaugh: ;D

Ummmm the news page and the auction bannere have vanished here!

Its only showing on the home page bc , have spoken to Tan
-
That's all the commercial items loaded up. It took several hours! Many thanks to all the companies that have supported our auction and thus Paws Inn :thanks:
I've loaded these items over the first two days as we promised our sponsors two weeks' bidding on their items. I'll keep an eye on all these threads and chivvy them along. In fact, I plan to bid on a few of them myself :evillaugh:
-
What a great result :wow:
Can I ask all the people who have won the commercially-donated items to bear with me as I have a lot of them to send out and many will have to go to you by courier. I shall endeavour to get everything despatched as quickly as possible though.
:thanks:
-
Final total of the commercially-donated items (excluding Kittycollars and Petvogue):
£247.77
:wow:
:thanks: again to all the companies* that supported our auction and Paws Inn :)
*Mutley & Mog, Burns Pet Nutrition, Nice Cat Stuff, Arden Grange, Royal Canin, UK Cat Trees, Mad About Cats, Puddle Pet Care, James Wellbeloved, Kitty Collars and Petvogue.
-
I would also Like to thank Petvogue and Kittycollars cos as Sabrina will know those two beds created a bidding war to end all bidding wars ;D
I think Marla knows that there are some very proud owners of her collars out there and hope she has seem Riley and Lucas wearing theirs ;D
I havent got time to add up the amounts, or even search for them but believe the beds went for over £30 each and then there was also the bag ;D
-
I would like to add that the bag from pet vogue was absolutely brilliant and I even got a little extra pressie - I will definately be checking out the website
