Hello to all my friends,
Sunday is a special day for Mom, it is her birthday as I am speaking for my sister Layla also wishing Mom a very happy Birthday, I am so blessed to have been adopted by her and spending her special day with her as my sister is over the Rainbow Bridge makes it even more special.
I have always rescued a pet and that is why today, 24th of September is Remember Me Thursday is so dear to me.
What is this day?
Remember Me Thursday is on the last Thursday of September every year when we speak out for the orphan pets in shelters wanting homes, they are innocent and, in many ways, we are to blame. So we need to speak out and empty the shelters.
This is a day when we all get together campaigning for them as no innocent orphaned pet should have to die in a Shelter because someone dumped them there.
As Mike Arms, President and CEO of Helen Woodward Animal Center says : We all come from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds, but together, we can raise our voices and share one life-saving message and literally save millions of pets on this one day.”
You can read more about it on their website:

How can we shine a light on:
- Attend a Remember Me Thursday event near you. – You can find the events near you on Google or on the website above.
- Hold a pet food plus other pet related items fundraiser for your local shelter.
- Check to see if one of your shelters in your area are having an adoption event.
- Speak out, encourage friends and family to adopt and open their homes to an orphan pet.
- There are so many ways we can all help, so let’s take one step forward today to do it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and praying that many shelter pets find homes
With love and woofs from Nili
Happy birthday!
I totally agree with you on the fact that it’s always better to adopt a homeless or shelter pet. Most recently, I stumbled upon a photo of my cat when he was still at the shelter. He was underweight and clearly miserable as he was just rescued from the streets back then. I hardly recognized him on that photo. Now he’s clearly happy, healthy, and relaxed. We truly change an animal’s life by adopting them.
Vanessa thank you for your kind birthday wishes. We have to keep speaking out for those in shelters to help them get loving homes, as much as we change their lives they change ours also and your cat is really blessed.
You sure have a happy home and a Mama who loves you Nili. All critters deserve the same! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Terry that is why we must speak out for them so every pet has a happy home. Thanks as always for your blog hop on Thursdays
Happy early Birthday to your mom!!
I would love to adopt another kitty, but Giovanni isn’t so sure about that. I do encourage folks to go to the boys’ rescue every chance I get, though. They are a pawesome cat rescue who takes such good care of the babies while they are waiting for their homes. <3
Happy Birthday! Nili did a great job this week. So sweet of her and Layla to take over for you on your birthday and for Remember Me Thursday. Layla, Nili, and Baby were so blessed to have you as their hu-mom. Perfect matches! If we were closer, we’d take you both out for cake and ice cream. Henry and I say you should get extra cookies and lots of hugs today on your special day.
Terri thank you so much and it would be awesome to meet up for a coffee and cake, Nili would love it. I am so blessed to have had them in my life and we need to keep speaking out about shelter pets. Nili woofs cookie for Henry
I wish your Mom many happy returns of her birthday and a good home for every shelter pet. It’s why i volunteer at a cat shelter.
Thank you so much and thank you for volunteering
Innocents should not have to die in shelters because they were dumped!! aMEN to this – and this is what we need to remember. Millions of animals die every year because of human negligence and the fault is ours.
I so agree with you and that is why we need to keep speaking out for the voiceless, we cannot keep quiet
Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Rochelle, Happy Birthday to you! I hope you and Miss Nili had a fabulous day. Your birthday is on my anniversary! Good date!
#RememberMeThursday is such an important day to speak of adoption. (I shared a post, too, I had previously written about adopting dogs with epilepsy). While every day is a good day to adopt, this day really helps spread the word and highlight homeless pets. Both Furangel Layla and dear Miss Nili are so very lucky to have found their forever homes with you! Hugs! xo
