MTV TJ @LivitLuvit doing her thang

If you aren’t following @LivitLuvit, then now would be a good time to start. This chick is doing some awesome things in her mission to become a MTV Twitter Jockey, not least her #savethefurbabies campaign – which aims to raise funds and awareness for shelters in the US to get people to adopt, donate or help in any other way they can.

have you *ever*, just look at that face!

It’s no secret that I love my own FurBabies (pains in the butt they may be!), and while these two are not rescue kittehs, many of the cats we had growing up have been rescued. Here in South Africa we have HUGE numbers of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies sitting around waiting to be adopted or put down at shelters across the country – some may be lucky enough to find homes, others may be sent back and forth many times, before living out the rest of their lives at a no kill shelter. Then there are the ones who don’t get much of a chance at all, and are put down without days of arriving at the shelter.

Those in the US can check out LiLu’s super rad campaign over here to find out how they can help. You can also vote for her in the MTV TJ search by clicking right here.

For us South African peeps, consider adopting a pet rather than buying – the chance to save a cat or dog, and make a difference to a rescue animal makes it one of the best things you can do. DARG, TEARS and the SPCA are just some of the options you have to find your own FurBaby.

Let’s be inspired by the #savethefurbabies campaign and see how we can use Twitter to do some good!
