I found comfort for critters (http://comfortforcritters.org/) and fell in love with the idea of what they do. When a cat or dog is rescued it is a traumatic experience, being shuffled backwards and forwards to foster homes, vets and eventually a furrever home. They give each furball a handmade blanket that they then get their scent on, they feel familiar and safe with and that stays with them through all their moves and on to their new homes. An amazing little charity. I am very proud to the the first UK volunteer :)
They got their first few blankets from me and i was over the moon to get a hello and thanks in the newsletter for August. The next lot of blankets is done and ready to be posted off to them.
More people need to do this, it barely costs anything, the blankets are small; around 20 inches square and so just need odd scraps of wool leftover from other finished projects.
