The Great Percy Toe Raffle

*SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW POSTS!*




With dad going back to school, my family is having a hard time coming up with the money for my cancer surgery. So, my wonderful grandma made me four fleece blankets. When they first came I was so excited because I thought they were all for me and I could sleep on them in every room, but the note said they were to raffle off to earn money for my surgery. I have to admit, I'm not excited about my surgery, but it sure was nice of grandma to think of me.

My brofur and sisfurs helped me model the blankets. I thought I would begin by showing you what my foot will look like after my surgery so you can better visualize my goal:


First up, the blanket we call the Eliot, because it has a blue backing that is his favorite color:



This blanket will be raffled off individually for $2 per chance.

Next is my purrsonal favorite, a little gem we like the call the Percy, because it has an orange back just like me!



This beauty could be yours for just $2 per chance!

Next up, a treat for all you pink loving cats - a blanket we have dubbed Emily, because she's a girl and pink is her signature color:



This one can be yours again for just $2 per chance.

Next we have a blanket we like to call Abbie, because she has enough energy to be considered two cats: the double-cat-sized version of the pink backing blanket:



This blanket, perfect for any multi-cat household, can be yours for just $3 per chance.


But that's not all, we also set up some value packs for cats interested in more than one cat blanket.

Our first set we call the Brofurs, this includes having your name entered to win both the blue and orange backed blankets, two raffles for just $3:

Here's Abbie modeling the Brofurs blankets:


And for just $4, you can be entered for the Sisfurs - where you name will be entered in both drawings for the pink backed blankets:



And for our mega deal - go for the Cat Stephens - where for just $6 you'll be entered in the drawing for each blanket!



And just to show you how cat friendly these blankets are, here are all the Cat Stephens modeling all the blankets!

Eliot, Emily and Percy wanted to show you just how comfy and warm they are to lay on.


All blankets went through extensive quality control that was snoopervised by yours truly:





For those who want to help but aren't interested in a blanket - use this button

Percy

Percy, we bought five sets of brofurs tickets to help you with your toe! Mom hopes that nasty cancer will get knocked right out after your surgery. She says it's fine to have one toe less. Some kittehs, called polydactyls, have extra toes and they are speshul, so you will be speshul by having less! You can be...hmmm..semidactyl?

Thanks for the share. Your Grandma did an amazing job making these blankets. They all have beautiful coloring to them. Great seeing the kitties helping out with the modeling of the blankets. They sure do look comfortable. Have a great day.
