We Need Your Nomination & Help Us Win $10,000 for Kitten Associates!

Do you know what time it is? It's DogTime Media's Pet Blog Award season, featuring the coveted Pettie® Awards—which fall into TEN categories this year!

Last year, thanks to YOUR votes and devotion, Covered in Cat Hair was honored with a Pettie for Best Cat Blog! I have to admit I was shocked, thrilled and humbled to win. It means a lot to me that what I do makes a difference in your lives-so thank you again!

We don't stand a CHANCE to be considered for a Pettie Award this year unless YOU NOMINATE US RIGHT NOW. Go to http://petties.dogtime.com/ballots/new to enter your nominations. You can vote once per day until June 29, 2012 so keep voting!

We're crossing our paws to be nominated in the following categories:

Best Cat Blog: http://coveredincathair.com/

Best Rescue/Cause Blog: http://coveredincathair.com/

Best Blog Post: Some of our favorites: Dining with The Cat Daddy, Jackson Galaxy. Part 1. (the first part of a series of the most wacky and wild 4 hours of my life) or choose It Had to be You (an amazing and surprising story of adoption) or choose: Saving Leo (the shocking and uplifting tale of a critically ill, Feline Leukemia positive, stray cat who discovered a team of Guardian Angels were on his side just when he needed them most).

Best Use of Social Media: http://coveredincathair.com/

While we also feel we •might• be worthy-ish of other categories-we actually feel others do it better and make the following suggestions:

Funniest Blog or Blogger: Angie Bailey of http://www.catladyland.net/

Best Designed Blog: We're torn between Kate Benjamin's ModernCat and Deb Barnes' Zee and Zoey Chronicle Connection

Best Overall Pet Blog: We're torn between Ingrid King's The Conscious Cat and JaneA Kelley's Paws & Effect

Best Dog Blog: What? Do you really think we'd know that? You don't have to fill out EVERY category to vote!

As you vote, you'll notice a field to fill out your nomination for: Shelter Nomination for $10K Pre-Petties Donation Contest. Though we realize most folks support a favorite shelter in their hometown…

…we hope you'll consider including Kitten Associates as your shelter nomination along with your nomination for awards. Winning a donation of $10,000.00 could literally change our ability to help more cats overnight!
