Title: is there another calendar planned or have I missed it?
Post by: swampmaxmum on October 16, 2010, 10:30:42 AM

I am sorry, I don't come on to Purrs very often now that my boys have both passed away. It reminds me of them and I get tearful.

I wondered if another of the wonderful 2 year cat calendars was planned (or maybe it has and I missed it) as think the one I have ends at the end of this year.
If it is, would it be possible to put both my Bridge little ones on there?

Kate xxxx to everyone

There hasn't been any mention of one Kate, although I think you can order personalised calendars from the purrs shop.  :hug:

We have lost 2 this year as well  :(

Another member asked Tan this question recently and unfortunately there's no plans for another calendar project. It literally took months of work and as it was a very small professional print run the costs involved were incredibly high, which possibly meant that the calendar didn't sell as well as anticipated due to the high purchase price - think they were £15 each to incorporate a donation to rescue.

There was a large amount which went unsold which in turn meant that less profit was raised for the chosen rescue. That is the aim of any Purrs project/fundraiser, to raise as much as possible for the rescue and the cats they care for, so unfortunately the calendars just aren't viable.

You can order personalised calendars from places like Tesco online http://www.tescophoto.com/calendars Maybe your special boys could have a calendar all to themselves  :hug:

I understand completely. It's still such a shame though. I love turning the page each month and seeing everyone's furry loved ones and the captions.
thanks for the tips though. I thought I might try to find 12 happy photos to use but will see how I feel about it.  If I don't, there's always Kliban to cheer the days, or the NYorker cat cartoons one.

Mark, I am very sorry, I have been so out of touch  :hug: :hug:
