What’s working…and will it work in your community?


Within the Curious Cat Blogs, you will find postings from PetSmart Charities and others about ideas and programs that may be worth exploring for replication, with or without modifications. While PetSmart Charities does review postings, we have not conducted site visits in all cases and programs constantly change. Thus, a posting does not imply endorsement, so it's up to you to check out these resources!

Got a Success?
Do you have a great practice or program? Blog about it! After review, PetSmart Charities may post your blog submission, and then it will be listed in the menu to the left. Be sure to include what resources you have to help others or what kind of hand holding you are willing to provide. Send your Curious Cat posts to Patty Finch.

Want a Success?
Looking for a great model to replicate? Check out all the postings in our Curious Cat Blogs! (See the menu to the left.) When you find a great program to replicate, you can apply for a Curious Cat Grant to help with your initial costs. Don’t forget, you can put a stipend in your budget to compensate the mentoring organization (the one whose idea you are adapting) and thank them for all their help!

Note: Inclusion in this list does not necessarily mean that PetSmart Charities endorses all featured programs, as we may not have reviewed all.
