Donate stuffed animals

Does anyone know if there's someplace that would accept really gently used and looking like brand new stuffed animals? I know Cradles to Crayons won't, I don't think Goodwill or Salvation Army will.

anyone missing a cat?

There is a black and white cat roaming my street, and often my backyard - wondering if anyone is missing it? 
I live on Fenwick off Broadway near Walgreens, Brunello Bistro, and close to Magoun's.

Help a local couple win the wedding of their dreams

[romcquinlan32.livejournal.com]

Hey, Davis Sq. community, one of our own needs your help! Please go to http://www.militaryweddingtoremember.com/ and vote for Somerville sweethearts Keith O'Donnell & Rebecca McNamara, who are competing to win a well-deserved dream wedding from Fox25 News and the Westin Copley Place.
Rebecca is a biology major at UMass Boston who served in Iraq in 2005 and was recently activated to help during Hurricane Irene. She served in the Army for 6 years and is currently an aeropace medic in the Air National Guard. Keith is a UMass Lowell alumnus who has served in the USMC in Kuwait and Haiti, and is currently in Afghanistan.
These two deserve to win because they have dedicated over 14 years of service to our country and they are the only finalists who are both combat veterans as well as native Somervillians. You can vote for them once a day through 11:59 p.m. Sept 24. It's a nice way to support our home-grown troops.
Read their story and vote at http://www.militaryweddingtoremember.com/ or on the http://myfoxboston.com/ Facebook page.
