Big Cat Rescue

"While rescuing big cats is our main objective, we help support many animal charities by donating free tickets and experiences to their fundraisers and we offer a Spay and Play program whereby anyone who has their pet altered, or who adopts one that is altered, can bring us a copy of the receipt and get a free $25. tour."

Carol Baskin, Founder of Big Cat Rescue

Chase bank has announced an online voting contest for small nonprofits. There are 100 prizes from $25,000 to $1,000,000! Even at 500 pounds of raw meat a day, that would insure the cats get fed for many, many days!

The voting is done on Chase's Facebook page. It requires a few steps, but if you follow the instructions below it only takes one minute. We know you are busy, but are hoping you will donate that minute of your time to help us win.

Not on Facebook? If you do not have a Facebook account, you can set one up in about 60 seconds and can delete it later if you find you do not want it. To set it up, just go to www.Facebook.com, fill in the six boxes with name, email, password (must be at least six digits), then click "skip this step" or "skip" on the screens that follow. Once you have your account, follow the instructions below.

INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTE

Click the following URL.
http://apps.facebook.com/chasecommunitygiving/
or paste it into your browser if that does not work.

At the top of the window, log into your Facebook account with your email and password.
On the right hand side you will see a black box with "Enter your charity".
IMPORTANT: You must type our full name, Big Cat Rescue Corp (no punctuation needed) because there are other non profits with similar names that come up if you just type "Big Cat Rescue".
Once "Big Cat Rescue, Corp" is the only name you see, hit GO.

On the window that opens click "Allow Access"

In the pink box on the right click "Become a fan"

The text changes to "Verification is needed". Click that.

At the top of the window that opens click "Become a fan" to verify.

Close that window. This will then only leave open the window where you vote.
Refresh the window where you vote so it registers that you are a fan. (This may not be necessary but best to do it to be sure.)

Click "Vote for Charity"
The only way we will win is if current supporters send this to their friends. To do that, at the bottom of the page where it says "Help this charity by spreading the word", please click "Post to wall", type what you would like to say to encourage your friends to help, and then cut and paste in these directions.

Thanks so much for helping care for the 100+ cats at Big Cat Rescue!

In just 5 minutes, you can make a meaningful contribution to the Big Cat Rescue right now. And it's FREE. Just build a lens (what Squidoo calls a web page). It doesn't have to be about big cats or even animals. It can be about anything: your favorite zoo, a hobby, recipe, travel location, movie, book, or, well, you name it.

Your page will help get the Big Cat's message in front of thousands of new supporters. It will also generate royalties that go straight to the Big Cat Rescue, every month, forever. All you have to do is set the lens' royalty setting to go to Big Cat Rescue.
