This comes from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. I'm cutting and pasting their original press release because I'm feeling lazy. But basically, they're hosting a fundraier for animals in need. Who can argue with that?

Attention all you cat-owning shutterbugs:

In case you didn't know, June is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat Month  for the SPCA. And to promote what is surely a wonderful cause, the SPCA is sponsoring .... .. A cat photo contest! 

So get your camera out, be very, very quiet, tip-toe up -- and snap away.

Deadline for entries is June 30. Contest rules include no posing. Like cats would do that anyway. .

And visit your local shelter. Adopt a cat this month.

 

Not really pet-related per se, but this photo that posted on CNN.com is a vivid reminder that pets are caught up in the nation's most recent natural disasters, too.

 

Flooding  is forcing the evacuation of nearly 4,000 homes in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Offiicals estimate more than 100 blocks are underwater after the banks of the Cedar River overflowed.

The Humane Society and the SPCA both offer ways to donate for animal disaster relief.

There also are kits and advice  to help pet owners prepare for a disaster.
