Starting tomorrow I’ll be running a new monthly adoption event for the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue at Pet Valu Trainyards in Ottawa. It’s on the third Saturday of every month from 10am -2pm. For a small donation to the rescue you can come have a bit of breakfast and check out adoptable cats. There will be coffee freshly brewed throughout the event, muffins I baked fresh that morning, and other goodies baked by awesome OSCatR volunteers!
So come join us some Saturday at Coffee with Cats!
Santa Paws is now done his yearly visit to the good dogs and cats of the world, and things are slowing down some here at the DRC Workshop. This season the Santa Paws for a Good Cause promotion was rather popular. All together we raised $55 CAD for the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue!
It went over well enough that I’ve decided to make the Santa Paws stockings a permanently available item on my Etsy Shop. So now we can help stray cats all year long!
Happy Caturday everyone from the Zoo at the DRC Workshop! Just wanted to share this picture of Tray helping me take pictures of the Santa Paws stockings.
From each stocking sold between now and December 24, 2017 $5 CAD will be donated to the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.
Stockings may be purchased via Etsy. If you are in the Ottawa area and want to save on shipping by picking it up feel free to contact me via this website or my Facebook page.
Want to make the holidays a little less blue for a stray cat? Then consider one of the new Blue Santa Paws stockings we added to our Etsy shop today. Now there’s two blues as well as red and green!
All colors are still available for now. Though there is only one light blue left.
For each stocking sold between now and December 24, 2017, $5 CAD from each stocking will be donated to the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.
For more information on the stockings and how to buy them check out my previous post here

Today was the day, and Team Emma was ready to hit the streets! It was a small crowd, but everyone had a great time. Emma got to hang with the big boys. Two big huskies to be exact.
This was the first year for the event so we’re hoping word will spread and get more dogs involved next year. This year over $1000 was raised for Dog Guides!
Due to Ottawa Race Weekend taking place we had to change the route for the walk, which ended up being a far more pleasant route. The last leg of our journey was along Beechwood Avenue where the race was taking place, so lot’s of cheering and music going on. So we decided to have a bit of fun with it. Even though this was a walk and not a race we cheered the dogs on as they made their way to the finish line. Due to her strategy of slow and steady wins the race (and some help from the husky parents) Emma was the first one to cross the finish line. Little stumpy legs beat the big boys! lol
Thanks to all Emma’s sponsors who helped her raise $131!
Thanks to Pet Valu Beechwood for putting on such a great event! Team Emma will be there again next year!
Last chance to sponsor Emma in her walk for Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides ! The walk is tomorrow morning at 11am from Petvalu Beechwood to Stanley park. A long walk when your legs are only 4 inches long.
We set a goal of $200 and so far with in person and online donations we’ve made just over half that. Also, this morning we discovered someone STOLE some of her donation money from the jar in her house. 
So any little donation would greatly help a wonderful organization.
***** I’ve been told that with online donations that it looks like you have to donate $25. You don’t. Look for the ‘other amount’ button.
One week from today,on May 28th, my little buddy Emma, her mother, and I will be taking part in a wonderful charity walk event and could use your help!
This Sunday, December 11, 2016 Rideau High School is hosting a craft fair to raise funds for the school’s concert band to attend the Music Festival in Montreal next year. As well as funds for their food cupboard.
Del Roba Creations will be in attendance at this event. On top of the usual stuff, I have some new stuff designed for Christmas and gift giving, and I’ll have holiday baking for sale. There will be cookies, and four different flavors of cookie dough truffles.
The sale was featured in the Ottawa Community News and got a pretty good writeup.

It’s free admission and parking so come on down and take a peek at numerous local artisans.
It’s kitten season and the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue is in need of some help. They have over seventy , yes 70!! , kittens in care right now. It takes a lot of food to keep those little bellies full!
Please consider helping them out. You can check out their website or Facebook page for more info about the rescue and all of the wonderful work they do.
