Cats and the Moon Earrings by chickadeejewelry


When things go bump in the night in our house, it is almost always attributable to one of our three rescue cats, Sean, Jezel, or Lucy! Chickadeejewelry made these earrings in honor of them. I also tried to make them with a bit of a Halloween theme: Cats and the moon.

I am a very busy volunteer with Ca-R-Ma (Cat Rescue Maritimes). We run a trap-neuter-return (TNR) programme for feral cats. We also provide shelter and food when needed. Whenever possible, we foster and adopt out kittens. To date, we have spayed/neutered over 2,000 cats. I regularly donate cat-themed jewelry to Ca-R-Ma with 100% of sales going to the TNR programme. I also volunteer on the anesthetic station at spay/neuter clinics and at adopt-a-thons.

Cat and Mouse Earrings by chickadeejewelry


Many cats (and mice) live on farms, just like the ones adorning these earrings by chickadeejewelry. I volunteer for Ca-R-Ma (Cat Rescue Maritimes), an organization that runs a trap-neuter-return program for feral cats. When needed, we provide shelter and food for the cats. Whenever possible, kittens are fostered and adopted. Many of the cats we care for live on farms.

I donate 10% of my sales to Ca-R-Ma. I also regularly donate cat-themed jewelry with 100% of sales of these go to Ca-R-Ma.

Warm Wintry Cat Love Earrings by chickadeejewelry


These earrings are a whimsical entry from chickadeejewelry. I was looking out the window at a blizzard and thinking that the weather didn't bother me because I had a warm cat (Jezel) sleeping on my lap. This inspired me to make the Warm Wintry Cat Love Earrings. I combined "I love my cat" charms with bicone crystals in winter colours - frosty whites and grays. The Winter Wonderland is outside, but the companionship of my cat and the love I have for her keeps me warm.

I donate 10% of my sales to Ca-R-Ma (Cat Rescue Maritimes Association). I also regularly donate jewelery to them for fund-raising and I volunteer my time. Ca-R-Ma is dedicated to improving the lives of homeless cats. We run a trap-spay-neuter-release program for feral cats and we care for cats in feral colonies. When possible, we foster and adopt out kittens. I have three cats, Sean, Jezel, and Lucy. Jezel and Lucy are formerly feral cats adopted through Ca-R-Ma.
