Quita Memorial Challenge Grant - Dec. 29 evening update
Our current total is $9,811, about one-third of our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal! Your generosity during this Challenge Grant time (ONLY TWO MORE DAYS AFTER TODAY!) makes your gift go further than usual, helps you when you file your income taxes - and helps Mickaboo build a solid foundation as we head into the new year.
Jolie is one of the birds who benefits from Mickaboo's volunteers. Jolie is a lovely gray mutation Indian Ringneck girl. She went on an adventure outdoors and got lost. Lucky for her a nice lady found Jolie, saving her from an uncertain fate. Now she is in a nice Mickaboo foster home and living the good life, learning to love a great pellet-based diet and vegetables. Jolie is a really smart and curious girl, eager to learn new things. She also enjoys flying, napping, bathing, and whistling - and she's available for adoption!
Want to help Jolie and other birds like her before the matching period is up? One may give:
- online, with a credit card through Network for Good
- online via Mickaboo's website (www.mickaboo.org) - use either of the two "donate" buttons in the left margin
- online through PayPal (login to *your* Paypal account, if you have one, and send money to donations "at" mickaboo.org). No fees to you or Mickaboo if you give this way!
ALL gifts of any size are welcome and are fully tax-deductible!

Sparkle is one of the birds benefitting from your collective generosity. She is a very young (we think around 4 MONTHS old) budgie who somehow escaped from her former guardian and, luckily, wound up at a shelter instead of becoming a predator's lunch or dying of starvation. Most shelters are not equipped to handle avian medical emergencies, and this one was no different - so they called Mickaboo when Sparkle started bleeding from a broken blood feather. Sparkle is just fine now - and is up for adoption! (Email
