Daniel and the Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center

Daniel is a neat cat.  He is a rescue, once doomed to be euthanized at an animal shelter.  Amy Rowell, who runs the Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center, a no-kill shelter, was walking through the other shelter when Daniel raised a paw to draw her attention.  He got it.  Daniel is a white cat with orange tabby patches, and while most cats have 18 toes, Daniel is endowed with 26.  Amy took him back to her shelter, and he is now the "spokespurrson" for the MARC.  There's only one problem now - the lease has not been renewed for the MARC, and Amy Rowell has to purchase or rent a new premises.  Since this was announced, donations have been rolling in at $26 each - one dollar for each of Daniel's toes.  A total of  $120,000 is needed, and, so far, $80,000 has been raised - mostly in the name of Daniel.  I have sent a donation to the Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center - and I hope that you will, too.  If you feel like it, please visit http://www.milwaukeearc.org/    (The following photos of Daniel were taken by Carrie Antifinger with the Associated Press:)



Daniel is pooped from all this publicity....
