Happy National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week! This week, November 1-7, is time to show our local rescues and shelters how much we love and appreciate all they do! So do anything you can – no matter how big or small – to show them you care.

We'll be featuring your stories of kindness and giving all week on www.romeothecat.com, at the Big Paw Designs Blog, on the Rescue Power blog and on Peoplepets.com. Send your story to romeo@romeothecat.com, along with a photo, and you might be featured too!

Every day, we're selecting a winner to win a Rescue Mom or Rescue Dad car magnet or sticker, courtesy of Big Paw Designs.

Today's story of giving is about Boris Kitty and his siblings Edgar and Bella from Pennsylvania.

Boris and his family kicked off Animal Shelter Appreciation Week by sending Edgar out to Trick or Treat for cat goodies for their local rescue, Berks County Animal Rescue League in Berks County, PA.

Boris tells us that Edgar got lots of treats from Halloween but that they all gave up their "kitteh allowances" so their humans could supplement their Trick or Treat loot with food and blankets that the rescue desperately needs.

Boris and his team are sending their staff to drop off the goodies at the rescue this week.

Way to go, Boris!
