Purrfect Pals wants your vote to help animals

Purrfect Pals is a no-kill pet shelter and adoption center in Arlington at 230 McRae Road NE. They contract with pet stores and veterinary clinics all over Puget Sound to place animals for adoption in the stores and in mobile vans.

They recently sponsored the Average Joe Pet Show in Shoreline (Ed: sorry - missed that story until it was too late).

Purrfect Pals is competing in the Pepsi Refresh Project and wants your votes.

Pepsi decided not to run an ad in the Super Bowl this year and instead put over a million dollars aside for non-profits. Purrfect Pals submitted a grant proposal to Pepsi for $25,000 to help fund their spay/neuter program and re-home 200 cats. Their application was selected by Pepsi to enter the voting contest. Now they need the votes to get the prize. Here's how to help them:

1. Go to the Pepsi Refresh website

2. Click on "Vote for this Idea"

3. Enter your email address and password you select

4. Click on "Vote for this Idea"

5. After vote is complete the response says "Good Job"

6. REMEMBER ONE VOTE PER DAY PER EMAIL for Purrfect Pals

They are currently #148 for the $25,000 idea and need to get to #1. Voting ends May 31.
