Of Space Telescope & Cats
Thu, 2009-11-19 09:41 — Robin Olson
I'm a science-geek. Both of my parents were scientists. How they popped out an Art Director/Writer daughter, I have no idea.
A few weeks ago, when we first heard about Will, our friend Terry Frum told me about his buddies, Space Paws and that they were helping get the word out on Will, too.
I went to visit (virtually) the gang and found their website to be charming and filled with kitties that are being loved and cared for and some are looking for good homes, too. Thing is-these folks work at STScI, otherwise known as: Space Telescope Science Institute! OMG, like how COOL is that? Also you need to check out their icon, then look at the icon of Space Paws. Love it!
STScI
Space Paws!
If you live in the Baltimore area and are lookin' for a new kitty to warm your lap or purr in your face at 4am, stop by and check them out. Also, each kitty comes with a top secret implant that allows the cat to communicate with the Hubble telescope and download cool photos taken from space that you can printed out at any CVS, Walgreens or Photo Store! Errr..okay, maybe not, but it would be COOL, right?
Anyway, welcome our new friends at Space Paws!
Over and out.

ROFL!!! Thanks for the plug.

Thanks for the plug. Robin!! Oh my, I'm still laughing!! Danny G., from the 'tute, did the logo transformation!
It is cool, working for the Institute! Wonderful science coming out of a little dot in the sky! ;-) A great bunch of folks and a lot of animal lovers. Space Paws is just a bunch of ordinary folk, trying to make a difference in our little corner of the universe. And we are a bunch, I'm just the public face right now. The Institute doesn't sponsor us, because we're federally funded, and we do this on our own time.
Thanks again for the mention and we look forward to trading adoption info - leveraging the power of the intertubes for good!!
Hmmmm.... two left brain parents producing a right brained daughter isn't so surprising... restores the equilibrium you know! LOL! ;-)
Great post!
Read about you on Space Paws. I love your book excerpts. I can't wait to read more. Love the photos of your kitties too :D
