Dear Everyone,
We are posting today to thank you for your support in the recent Catdance festival. It is unlikely that we are the winners, even though they said they still have to count the votes, but we are so pleased to know that all of you were behind us. Each time you took a moment out of your day to cast your vote for us was a gift, and we appreciate it sincerely.
We had hoped to really win it this year but it seemed that no matter what we did, we just couldn’t close the gap. There are many things we could complain about, and yet we won’t, because we feel grateful to have been shown so much support from all of you. Everyone who shared our links, asked their friends to vote, and posted badges and posts on your own blogs have touched our hearts more than you know. Our greatest sadness is that we won’t win the prize that we had hoped to share with not only our friends who have helped us with our films over the years, but also with so many homeless animals who could have used the thousands we had planned to donate. Like last year, however, we will continue blogging and making films in support of adoption and hope to do more good that way than we ever could have financially.
To thank you for your kindness, we are arranging a special giveaway with four prizes! There will be four winners (one prize to each) and all you have to do is comment below before Friday March 7th at 11:59 pm and say you’d like to enter. And that’s it! No voting required.
We hope that you’ll support our future films and our web series CATastrophes, which is dedicated to spotlighting rescues and adoptable cats. Our newest episode will be out very very soon (subscribe to be notified right away!) and will be spotlighting a whole bunch of cuties from Tree House Humane.
Thank you again to everyone, from the bottom of our hearts.
Love,
Alana, Crepes, Michael, and the CATastrophes team.
And now it’s me Crepes with the prizes!!!!
The Prizes:
One each to three winners of these fine magnets! There are two Catalogue magnets and one “Her Ass Dangles Off Into Space” CITF magnet. If you have a preference, let me know in the comments and I will try to meet your request! (If all three people pick the same one, though, I’ll be in trouble, so please give a second request if you have a strong preference.)
And the grand prize (DUHUHDUHDRRDRDRDUHHUHDHD DRUMROLL….)
A Catalogue poster! Signed by Rocky and the humans behind Catalogue. They’re limited edition, fine quality! This prize will go to one (1) lucky winner to hang on your wall! Frame it for posterity! Or, tell me you don’t want it and would prefer a magnet of my posterior dangling into space!
Good luck to everyone and thank you again!
Love,
Crepes.
[…] Last chance to enter my Thank You Giveaway and let me know if you’d like to be entered to win a prize! Winners announced […]
These things are never easy, after all your wonderful work to be disappointed. BUT – you showed your stuff, you made thousands of people happy, touched lives and made a lot of joy. You do brilliant work, special stuff.
THANK YOU

although you didn’t win the contest, you are winners in the cat blogosphere! we found your video very entertaining and loved the ending. time to set your sights on next year!
we love the catalogue magnets (1- felsjat 2- clearance) best.
We love all your videos! Each and every one was very creatively and professionally done. “The Inheritance” should have won as far as we are concerned. Mom still watches your videos because she enjoys them so much–she even showed the videos to the housecall vet–and he told lots of people about them because he thought they were great, too! Not to sound too harsh, but I think some people would not know quality if it came up and bit them in the you know where! We are really excited about your next film and can’t wait to see it.
It is really nice of you to hold a giveaway and we are not picky. Except about food. Purrs, Serafina, Arya, Natasha Velvetpaws, Bean, Iggy, Teddy, and Useless

Late winter morning
Fat Tuesday Celebrations Abound
Yet I can’t get Crepes off my mind
“we are not the winners” ..I read
yet I know.. Crepes=Winner
Crepes humans = two winners!
Staff, Volunteers and Tree House Cats= a whole bunch of winners !
Robert Redfors or Crepes? I choose Crepes!
Liza Minellis or Crepes? Need I even ask? (you did see the Oscars, right?)
Crepes I send you a virtual Paczki
and a virtual kiss!
Luv, Pixie xx00xx
aww, Pixie, that’s lovely! I love it. And the paczki. That makes my day. Do you also have a blog, Pixie? – Crepes.
I dont have a blog Crepes..just love good causes and cats like you and your humans that spread the message about cat adoption and special needs cats!!
My human LUVS your purple beret !! We do not wish to enter as we are so new here.. but my human wanted to share that you NEED to correct the statement “we are not the winners” um..maybe not of this silly contest but if you ever say you are not a winner again you will have mme, Pixie to contend with !
we hate voting contests as not everyone can win them
I am picky when it comes to food and drink, but not when it comes to anything involving my sweet niece Crepes, the CATactor and celebrCAT. I agree with everyone that you deserved to win, all of your films are amazingly well done and written. Even though there may not have been the big win you would have liked this year, it just means that next year yours will be bigger and better to wow the audience. A talent like yours (you having the most obviously), Rocky’s and your parentFODs shines brighter as time passes, one day soon the world will be yours! Purrs of love to mew.
thank you so much! 🙂 Hugs. – Crepes and Alana.
We’re sorry you didn’t win, we really liked you video 🙂
Devon ^..^ and I think you are winners no matter what Catdance says!! We thought your video was entertaining, well made and definitely thought provoking! (And Doodle was brilliant! What a face!!) You’ve introduced us to so many great rescue organizations, so you’re winning there too! Keep up the amazing work, cuz we love you!!
P.S. We would be thrilled with anything we might win 🙂
You are always a winner with us 🙂
You do such cool videos.

We’re really sorry you weren’t the winner. We think you were the best video. We sure hope Ricky got some meds for his URI 😉
The Florida Furkids
by the way…..we like them all!
I thought your video was by far the best, but you are still the winner as far as I am concerned.
Your winners to us 🙂 We live over the pond but if that’s OK count us in, if not, we can’t wait to see the winners 🙂 xxoxxxx

We are all so sorry you didn’t win. We thought your video was very funny and clever. ~ATCAD
Can puppies win, or my kitty furblings. I’m sad to hear you may not win, but Mama and I watched your video a while ago and are still rooting fur you! I’m trying to help rescues with my bookie toowoowoooo, but sales are oh-so-slow. 🙁 I wish bloggers bought more books fur their pets than treats. Ku
Of course puppies can win!!! We are equal opportunity here. Sadly, cats don’t eat books, they eat treats. Are you promoting? Get on kindle! join a writers group! You can do it! – Crepes.

xoxoxoxo
I’d love to enter but I almost feel guilty since it wouldn’t let me vote some days. You’re a winner in my book cos you ran an honest campaign. I love either of the top 2 magnets.
I was hoping for your win. I really enjoy your short films. Keep doing what you do!
We hoped you would win too and are sorry that will not happen. But we agree with Layla bigger and better ahead! You won in our books it might not count for much but we’re behind you Crepes!
We think you are the WINNER in every way possible … the number of votes counted don’t matter one paw or another!
You can enter us into the contest; but if we were to win, hold on to the prize and donate to the next auction that comes up please …
And here’s to next years film … go Crepes!
We are so sorry if you didn’t win. We sure thought your video was terrific. And we were so grateful that you were donating to shelters. Maybe next time. You don’t need to put us down to win anything. Take care.
Awwww, I’m sad to hear you won’t win. Contests are such and these things happen, as long as the winner wasn’t that annoying kid voicing over the kitten thing, might be a cat fight breaking out otherwise…. My opinion only of course! But love all your videos (the magician one is another winner), keep up the good!
Thanks much, Kim. I think it IS the other video you speak of that will likely come out on top, assuming the running vote tally was correct.
We would like to enter the giveaway.
Even if you don’t win, you had a fantastic video and we hope you are proud of yourselves!
ummm…not sure what everyone else seems to know about what went on in the Catdance contest…but we voted all the time but that Ricky flick just kept ahead. Guess they won? I would think I was a rock star to win any of the items you have. Purrlease toss my name in the catalogue…errrr…I mean box…no,no…must be a hat…right???
We loved your film, and you really should have won. You are doing wonderful work, so keep on keeping on!
Those prizes are all terrific — we’d be happy to win any of them. 🙂
We aren’t picky either and would love to receive any of your wonderful prizes. You fought a tough fight and received so much support, so chins up! The amazing work you do speaks for itself. You did totally deserve to win, though.
You are both generous and gracious. xoxo
We’re so very sorry the votes didn’t go in your direction…your film was all paws up and we adored it.
We’d be honored to win any of the prizes.
: ) Glogirly, Katie & Waffles
I thought your film should of won too. I would love to win any of the prizes. Thanks for the giveaway.

It upsets us to no end all of the terrible things that went on in that contest. You SHOULD HAVE WON…..it just isn’t right. Anyway, we would be honored to be entered in your give-away. We send you ((((hugs))) and love. Caren and Cody
Well, you know we think you had the best video no matter what happens. Keep doing the good work you do. 🙂
We’d love to win a magnet. They’re pretty cool!
You deserved to win, really, concatulations for your film ! We love the magnets, it’s nice to you to run that giveaway. Purrs
What a thoughtful giveaway! We would rather let someone else win, but we wanted to say that you totally deserved to win, and we bet that all of the other contestants aren’t doing something nearly as thoughtful for their supporters. You and your peeps are the best, Crepes!
[…] is hosting a “Thank you for your support” giveaway at CatInTheFridge.com to thank the blogosphere for being so generous during the Catdance voting. Although we didn’t […]
I think your film was the best one and you were robbed! I am looking forward to your future films and I am sure you will go much farther than the other filmmakers you were up against! I’d love to win any of those and I am not picky either!
I’ll let someone else win. This is very sweet of you to do and bigger and better things lie ahead.
I’d love to win…and I’m not picky. 🙂
