who deserves the praises - I'm just spreading the word and buying some extra pet food and supplies.
I lost one of my cats recently (RIP Gus ), I'll be sure to donate whatever he would have eaten/used for at least a month.

My daughter's a Federal employee on furlough - she's not getting paid but still has to work.
