OH MY GOURD!!
It's November already! It makes you want to hibernate, like Ruth's sweet little Maggie. But just brace yourself for the holiday season and go shopping, like Elisa's Jango.
Thanks Ruth and Elisa for these photos, and stay cozy everyone!

THANK YOU!
As the recovery continues in western North Carolina after the horrific flooding there, Cat-in-the-bag is grateful for its friends who pitched in to help! We raised nearly $500 for our fundraising arm the Allie Foundation, and the foundation will match $500. We are able to send $1,000 now to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue of Asheville, whose shelter was ruined in the floods. Whether you donated, shared our post, or offered up a prayer or a good thought, we appreciate you! You're sweet spirits, just like our Allie (pictured).

YOUR DONATION COUNTS -- TWICE!
The devastating floods Hurricane Helene unleashed on western North Carolina has had a profound impact on the animals in this beautiful region.
Like all of you, we watched the disaster unfold on the news and wanted to do something. The Allie Foundation, sponsored by Cat-in-the-bag, is going to help.
Asheville was hit hard by the flooding. A shelter there called Brother Wolf Animal Rescue lost everything and is raising money to rebuild. Their animals were evacuated before the flood, they said, but their building was devastated. https://www.foxweather.com/extreme-weather/asheville-brother-wolf-shelter-saves-100-pets-helene-floods
The Allie Foundation's mission is to raise money for "boots-on-the-ground" rescue groups like Brother Wolf. The foundation will match the first $500 raised by this post. No donation is too small, and shares of the post are much appreciated, friends!

OH THAT FACE!
"I have a spicy little cat who is most adept at wriggling out of holds just to get her into a carrier," says Michele. "But this works wonderfully. We’ve made two recent trips to the vet on public transportation and she was great.
"In her old carrier she would have been yowling and trying to escape. Not from the bag. The two-sided zipper let the vet examine her and the technicians to draw blood, give her fluids and an injection. The two Velcro portals in the front let me cut her razor-like claws, finally, with minimal drama. Can’t recommend this highly enough." Thanks for the feedback Michele! We're glad it's helping your spicy little sweetheart.

SIZES MATTER!
This 3-month-old, 2.5 pounder fits perfectly into his extra-small Cat-in-the-bag, says "Mom," who reviewed the carrier for Amazon.
"Easy to put on! It also has a super adjustable but sturdy neck that keeps the cat comfortable and secure!"
She went on to say that the carrier features room to grow. XS fits kittens and very small adults. We have small, large and extra-large also to ensure a comfortable fit!
Thanks for the feedback, "Mom!"

SUNNY DISPOSITION!
"I have a kitty that not only gets motion sickness but also has a ton of anxiety," says Jennifer.
"She gets so worked up on car rides that her vet-prescribed medication just doesn't work. She ends up drooling, vomiting, urinating and messing herself in her kennel.
"I bought this as a last hope. I thought to myself that I also would feel the same if locked in a cage inside a moving vehicle."
On an hour-long car ride, Jennifer realized that the Cat-in-the-bag carrier was making a difference. Her cat, Sunny, seemed to tolerate the trip much better. We're glad we could help!
Jennifer bought Sunny's carrier on Chewy.com. See her full review there.

LET'S CELEBRATE!
Leading off our best wishes to you all for a happy and safe Fourth of July is Bowie, our newest Cat-in-the-bag cat! We believe he's about 7 months old now. He showed up two months ago on the right front porch -- ours -- where he desperately tried to plead his case for coming inside and a bite to eat. He had a flea collar on that was starting to dig into his neck. We believe he was abandoned by someone who moved away. He and his big sister CeeCee are getting acquainted still, and he's settling very well into life here and his new Cat-in-the-bag role. He's pleased to meet you all!

AH, HEAAAAAAL NO!

Don't buy our carrier from Sears website Global Marketplace seller Global Discount Store. This is none other than Chinese products peddler AliExpress.
They have used our marketing materials (pictures, listing information) that they stole from Amazon and our Website to make it look like they have our carriers for sale. They don't.
They are charging $51, supposedly for the carrier we sell for $39.95-$41.95. We don't know how they plan to deliver on sales of our carrier. They could buy it off one of our authorized dealers and have it sent to you while they pocket the difference. Would they just send you nothing, maybe? Or they could send you a little, cheap plasticky knockoff they sell on their own platform, currently for around $4.
They claim to have an address in Texas. They don't appear to us to really be there. The sign on the building doesn't have their name on it. They would drop ship those knockoffs straight from China, most likely -- a long wait for a cheap copy.
Search for Cat-in-the-bag Cozy Comfort Carriers at our authorized dealers:
cat-in-the-bag.com
Amazon.com
Chewy.com
ebay.com
We're also in select stores and vet offices across the country.
Please share this post. Even if your friends don't plan on buying our carrier, they might appreciate a tip to be wary of ANYTHING they buy on AliExpress.

This is exciting news! We lost a kitten a few years ago to this horrible disease. The situation was even more horrible because treatments do exist but were never made available. The treatment won't be available until June and may be hard to obtain at first because of demand, according to this article we're linking to. But it's a start. https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&catId=620&Id=12090343

AT LAST!!! FIP treatment will be legally available in the US starting June 1st. Read the announcement from Stokes Pharmacy:

ENJOYING THE RIDE
Stephanie and her "Big Boy" share a snuggle during an RV trip. He's a much better traveler in his Cat-in-the-bag carrier than he was in a crate, she says. Here's hoping all their road trips are happy ones!

TOM APPROVES!
"I was not prepared for this reaction," says CA GA Peach about their sweet-faced baby, Tom.
"Tom easily adapted to laying on, then laying in the bag for a day. This morning I placed him with the collar around his neck and zipped him in.
Even for a Flame Point, he's unusually comfortable and calm, actually purring which is rare for a feral. After I removed the collar and unzipped it, he remained in the bag on my lap for another 30 minutes with no hurry to get out. Wow! This is bizarre."
We're guessing from the name of this Amazon reviewer that Tom lives in Georgia. Thanks for sharing him with us, CA GA Peach!

WITH US IN SPIRIT
Mia, who was absolutely content (really!) to model her new witch hat, and Rocky, who really would have rather been Spiderman that year, are two of our very special Cat-in-the-bag crew. They are no longer with us, yet they'll always be with us. Thanks for indulging us in our nostalgia, customers and friends! Happy Halloweens past, and Happy Halloween present. Have a safe and fun one!
