Play Games, Save Kitties (and puppies too!)
Earlier this year, I wrote about GiantCrayon’s newest iPhone game, ShiveringKittens. The Tetris-like game challenges you to rescue cute little kittens by breaking them free from blocks of ice.
A couple of things have happened since writing the review, the first of which prompted this post:
GiantCrayon Games today announced it will partner with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) to raise money for animals through a first-of-its-kind promotion during March and April 2009. This is the first time an iPhone game has been used as lynchpin of a fundraising campaign.
“I’m so excited to be working with the ASPCA,” said Tim Goggin, GiantCrayon Games’s VP. “We’re really keen to pioneer such a different way of fundraising. And most importantly, I value the wonderful work the ASPCA does rescuing animals, so I’m really thrilled to find a way to help such a great organization.”
As you may already know, I’m not a fan of “the math”.
But this kind of addition, I like
kitties + iphone + game + charity =
a whole bunch of awesome coolness!
The other thing that’s happened since writing the review
My handsome sweetie has developed a bit of an addiction to the game. Frankly, I’ve started to wonder if he looks forward to seeing me, or if he’s actually just counting the minutes ’till he can get his hands on my iPhone. So, consider that an endorsement for Shivering Kitties. Also consider that a plea to those in the SoCal area: If you buy the game, can you please invite my fella over so I can get my iPhone back?
For more details about the game, you can read my original review.
What are you waiting for?
Buy your copy today! ShiveringKittens is available now for iPhone and iPod Touch on the iTunes App Store for $2.99. For every copy sold during the months of March & April, $1 will be donated to the ASPCA by GiantCrayon. (Read full press release.)
No iPhone? Why not buy it as a gift for the iPhone lover in your life, or help spread the word about the fundraiser to others!

I’ve been in a couple of commercials for Giant Crayon and know the folks over there pretty well.
That said, I do think it’s a fun game, purchased my own copy and this was not a sponsored post!

Call for Nominations Now Open for “Women Changing the World” Award!
One of the most vital lessons I’ve learned this past year is the importance of reaching out for help. The Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute is accepting nominations for its “Women Changing the World” Award. As I’ve expressed in my most recent blog posts, the Women’s Leadership Institute was a life-changing experience for me. [...]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
what I'm up to- Happy 90210! (I think Donna was my favorite - who was yours?)
