In this busy & expensive world we all live in, fewer of us are finding the time & money to help animals in need. It's sad, but all too true. However, Nikki Moustaki, creater of The Pet Postcard Project, has found a creative way to feed & help homeless pets. It takes no more than a picture of your favorite pet, some creative thinking, 44 cents, and a trip to your mailbox!
I was lucky enough to have the exclusive opportunity to interview Nikki. Here's what she has to say about the project!
1. What is Pet Postcard Project?The Pet Postcard Project (http://www.petpostcardproject.com/) is a creative way to raise food and funds for shelter animals. People create hand-made postcards featuring their pets’ photos, along with captions, and snail-mail them into the address on the site. Each card received earns one pound of food for shelter animals from a pet food sponsor. Companies that don’t make pet food can also sponsor cards by offering a monetary amount per card, usually a dollar or two. As of 2010, The Pet Postcard Project has raised over 26,000 lbs. of food and $18,000 for shelter animals – and counting! There are also really great monthly prizes on the site for people who send in the cards, including a Bolt toy and a Scoop Free Litter Box!
