A Jammy Year in Review
Hi everyone! I wanted to thank you all for following and give you a bit of a recap of what I’ve been up to this year.
VOKRA WALK FOR THE KITTIES 2025 LIVEDRAW!
Hi everyone! Since 2020 I’ve been acting as a volunteer foster caregiver for cats through an organization called VOKRA (The Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association). https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/team/team-jam-save-pippins-peepers Every year VOKRA does a fundraising event called “Walk for the Kitties” where they work on raising their operating costs for the following year. This year my foster cat Pippin needed a complex surgery to save her eye from a growth, and it cost around $3,000. I’m hoping to raise enough money to help the foster organization cover the cost of that surgery! To do this I created this Neko-Atsume parody cat cafe based on our fine city of Vancouver, and I’m offering to add your cat (or pet of your choice!) to the picture for a donation of just $10+CAD! Click here to donate! All the funds go to a very good cause, keeping the organization going so they can help all the cats in this city. They’re a no-kill shelter and cats like Pippin aren’t turned away because of the complexity of their case. The walk is this SUNDAY Sept 7th and I will be doing a livestream after the walk to add all the cats and finish the wallpaper! So if …

Buying Canadian🍁? Try Zero Waste!
If you’re trying to keep your dollars local, you’ve probably noticed that sometimes it’s a bit hard to keep track of all the things we use and where they all come from. While food is the obvious place to start, the next place you might look is health and hygiene. Unfortunately, most household brands are owned by a small handful of companies. But they’re not the only option! If you’re changing your brands and habits anyway, why not try some zero waste products? The Zero Waste movement seeks to provide for people’s household needs while using as little disposable (especially plastic) packaging as possible. Usually they do this by asking that you bring your own containers (anything clean will do! But they also sell containers of all kinds) and selling the product itself in bulk. When I stopped in at the Refill Stop the other day for deodorant (which is very conveniently walking distance from the New West skytrain), I asked the owner which of their products were Canadian. They told me it would be faster to list off what was not Canadian! Buying local has always been a priority for them, which is not too much of a surprise …
