This is why I read Twitter: Check out the CAT adoption page for some wonderful stories about cats who find their forever homes through this no kill shelter. (1)
Their twitter site also offer great articles on cat health and well being, photos & bios on cats you can adopt via Petfinder.com (which lists adoptable pets from all over the country) as well as news about the animal rescue work being done in Haiti & elsewhere. This is how you do social networking for the good of all. Grandmother Spider would be proud.
CAT Food Bank:
This is another reason why I love these folks. They give out cat food and litter every month to cat owners in need through the CAT Food Bank. Last month they gave out over 2,500 lbs of cat food. The work is done by volunteers and all the food and litter is donated by folks in the community.
The CAT Facebook Fan Page is here.
Earthwise organizers take note: Twitter is an excellent form of free advertising & networking for any group willing to do the work. In this case, it's all done by volunteers.
Enjoy,

P.S. Finding a group: Lots of animal groups are on Twitter these days. Find animal groups you support via google and then check their web page to see if they offer a Twitter link. Or just do a search on Twitter itself. A # (AKA a hashtag) indicates a subject such as #cats.
