join us for the 4th annual mega march

Here at catching fireflies, we believe it's important to give back to our community and are big fans of furry friends of all shapes and sizes.

We
originally adopted our first cat, Tuesday, eleven years ago from a local
humane society and she has given us great joy, amusement and love
throughout the years. Since then we added two other cats, Piper & Shideh plus a Basset Hound, Gus to our four-legged family.

If you have a furry family member you know nothing beats coming home
to find your pooch eagerly waiting your entrance like you were a famous
rock star.  Or having your kitty climb in your lap as you're surfing
the web  (which is Tuesday's favorite pastime besides begging for food).

These kinds of moments make everyday life a little extra special. 
That's why we love supporting the Humane Society because they help well
deserving animals find good loving homes.

We invite you and your friends to support us in this year's Mega March on Sunday, October 4th.

You can get involved two different ways:

1. You can join our team, collect donations and walk with us.

Some of the benefits of joining our team include receiving a pampered pet swag bag from catching fireflies, a free catching fireflies tee and you'll get to meet GUS… not to mention support a GREAT cause.  What's not to love? 

Still on the fence?  Here are some fun photos from last years march.

2.  You can securely donate to our team right online.

We really appreciate your support and to show our thanks, we're offering free magnetic dog and cat photo clips when you bring in your $25 or more donation confirmation printed email to our Berkley or Rochester store before October 31, 2009. (no purchase necessary to receive your free item)

If you're not located near one
of our physical stores, but would still like to donate and get a free
pet item… Simply purchase something from www.catchingfireflies.com before October 4, 2009, forward your donation confirmation to service@catchingfireflies.com stating what free item you'd like us to ship with your order.  (purchase is necessary because of shipping logistics)

 

 

Get one of these cute magnetic photo clips for free with any $25 donation!

And we'll even create a personalized one for your furry friend when you donate $50 or more.

The funds you raise will help MHS…

• Provide shelter, vaccinations and medical care to animals in need
• Find loving homes for thousands of dogs, cats and other animals
• Investigate over 5,000 cases of abuse and neglect and bring abusers to justice.
• Educate pet guardians, children, the media and general public about animal issues
• Expand MHS' low-cost feline sterilization programs to help stem the flow of unwanted animals
• Reach additional homeless animals who are hungry, lonely, neglected or abandoned

It all adds up to care for more than 100,000 animals each year! 

While the needs of every animal the Michigan Humane Society cares for are different, on average, it costs $120 for MHS to care for one animal.

Thank you so much for supporting this wonderful cause and maybe we'll be seeing you and your pooch very soon!
