The Petties 2012 Best Blog Post Award
October 20, 2012 | Author Gracey
We are truly honored.
We are truly honored to have won The Petties 2012 Best Blog Post Award. We were thrilled to be finalists and when we 
learned of the other finalists in our category, all super talented wonderful friends and fellow cat writers, we knew we would be thrilled no matter who won, because Dogtime Media makes a generous donation to a non-profit shelter and we knew that our cousins in need would be getting some much needed help.
Just a couple days after we returned home from the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, we received and email from The Petties, asking us:
What makes the post that you’re nominated for so important?
Having just spent time learning more about the plight of the wild cheetah, as well as leopards and lions, the article that was nominated meant even more to us, and this was the answer that we sent back to The Petties.
Loss and fragmentation of habitat and depletion of prey are leading to rapidly declining populations of wildlife and in particular predators. Ecosystems need predators to remain healthy, yet humans continue to persecute and eliminate them from our world. “Cat Obituary Farewell Eastern Cougar” is about the heartbreak of extinction and a reminder to care for all animals big and small.

Happy Earth Day to our Beloved Planet
Earth is our home sweet home! What would we do without our world? Today is the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day. This day is the official reminder to us that we need to protect our planet from further damage and make every effort you can to clean it up!

Genesis Awards Celebrities Receive The Tiniest Tiger Hipster
March 23, 2012 | Author Gracey
The 26th Genesis Award Celebrity Presenters Gift- The Tiniest Tiger Hipster.
Merrilee from the Humane Society of the United States and Flat Gracey
Last month Secret Room Event’s Luxury Lounge honoring the Academy Awards at the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills helped to raise money and awareness for The Humane Society of the United States. The Tiniest Tiger Hipster was part of the Secret Room Event and celebrities attending and The Humane Society liked the bag so much it was chosen to be part of the gift for the 26th Genesis Award Celebrity Presenters.
We are honored that The Tiniest Tiger Hipster was chosen to be part of the Genesis Award Celebrity Presenters Gift because The Tiniest Tiger’s Conservation Cub Club’s mission is to spread the message that small paws united can make a big difference.
The Humane Society of the United States pays tribute every year to news and entertainment media for producing outstanding works that raise public awareness about animal issues. The 26th Genesis Awards will be held on Saturday, March 24, 2012 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
Many Hollywood celebrities are compassionate and love getting
Christa Campbell with wearing her The Tiniest Tiger Hipster
together to celebrate the media’s effort to raise awareness about animal issues. Many celebrities that are asked to present feel that this is the award show where it truly is as much of an honor to present as it is to receive.
Throughout the day, many celebrities stopped by to chat about The Tiniest Tiger and our mission to care for all animals big and small. Everyone was super interested in learning more about how to save our big cat cousins. We had a great time meeting so many nice people too.
Christa Campbell stopped by and she liked The Tiniest Tiger Hipster bag so much she posed for a photo wearing the bag.

The Tiniest Tiger Prepares to Walk the Red Carpet
January 27, 2012 | Author Gracey
The Tiniest Tiger community’s motto is Small Paws United Can Make a Big Difference! Over the last couple of years since we began with our The Tiniest Tiger Facebook page we have grown to over 24,000 strong and have generated over $30,000 to help both our big and small cat cousins in need.
When I was in my thinking circle a few months ago, I started to dream about a way to help more of our cousins. I didn’t want to keep asking you for donations because you have all been super generous. I wanted to reach outside
When you are on the right path, the pieces start to fall into place. Have you ever noticed this? I batted the idea in the direction of making a super fun, yet classy line of handbags with a feline finesse. We wanted to have the bags made in the United States, and if it could be close to my habitat, even better, because you know I am not so fond of traveling in my carrier.

Iams Home 4 the Holidays Finds Homes for 1.2 Million Pets
January 13, 2012 | Author Gracey
The results are in for the Iams Home 4 the Holidays Campaign and over 1.2 million animals were adopted during the 2011 campaign. That is an average of 9 adoptions per minute! The Iams Home 4 the Holidays is one of the
world’s largest adoption programs and this year when the results were tallied there were 1,267,541 animals adopted in 95 days. The campaign began 13 years ago, and in that time , founding partner Helen Woodward Animal Center, along with more than 4,000 animal organizations from around the world have helped a total of 7,034,989 pets find their forever homes.
“In just three months, we’ve saved the lives of more than 1.2 million animals and have given them a second chance at life and love,” said Mike Arms, founder of the adoption drive and president of Helen Woodward Animal Center. “Not only is this a huge victory for these pets, but for the thousands of people working in animal organizations around the world who have dedicated their lives to helping end pet homelessness.”
The Bags 4 Bowls program also met its goal to donate 5 million meals to pets in need!
The Tiniest Tiger Community rallied to help “paw it forward” by participating in the Bags 4 Bowls program by uploading photos of pets and leaving comments that totaled up to providing 47,024 Meals to feed our cousins in need. I am super proud that our community rallied together to increase our Meals by 32% over the 2010 campaign when we generated 32,375!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart that you took the time to comment and upload photos to help feed our cousins in need. We have the best caring cat community in the world.

Mike Arms Iams Hero Award Given to Austin Humane Society
Mike Arms is one of my heroes. He is a super smart big hearted animal lover that has led the way by setting the bar for the highest of standards for animal centers. As president of the Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego, Mike has been at the forefront of changing the lives of animals for the better through his tireless efforts and passion.
For the past 12 years Iams has joined forces with Mike Arms and the Helen Woodward Animal Center for the annual adoption campaign to help raise awareness of orphaned animals in need of forever homes around the world. The program has created increased public awareness about orphaned animals, increased the number of pet adoptions, lowered euthanasia rates and is educating record numbers of people in the humane treatment of animals. He is the founder of the Iams Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption program that our The Tiniest Tiger community supports with our own annual Iams Home 4 the Holidays comment-athon.
So it is fitting that on Monday, October 10, The Iams Company and Mike Arms, presented the first annual Hero Award in recognition of Austin Humane Society’s extraordinary relief efforts in the Austin/Bastrop wildfiress in September of this year.
Mike Arms. President, Helen Woodward Animal Center, Frences Jonon, Executive Director, Austin Humane Society, Michel Brousset, Marketing Director, Iams North America
Austin Humane Society led the way in coordinating the disaster relief efforts for the animals displaced in the Austin/Bastrop counties as a result of the recent Texas wildfires. This widespread disaster destroyed over 1,400 homes in the Central Texas area. The Austin Humane Society helped create a temporary triage unit in the Austin and Bastrop areas providing food, refuge, and medical care for the displaced animals.
Thank you to Austin Humane Society for their dedicated service to enhancing the quality of life for animals and their families. Truly our heroes and deserving of the first ever Mike Arms-Iams Hero Award. Super Hurrah!
