Established in 1997 as an online resource and outlet for handmade artist teddy bears, Grumblebears was created and is owned by Liz Mayer and husband Mick Miller. In the summer of 2005, Liz, Mick along with Alice, Sammy and Missy (their Pomeranian and 2 cats - an exotic shorthair and a Maine coon) closed shop and moved to Aruba along with all of the teddy bears. Within 6 months of their arrival they adopted a gorgeous longhaired Cunucu cat through the ARA (Animal Rights Aruba) and rescued and adopted three, 1 day old kittens that were abandoned by the mother. Since then, they have rescued, at last count, 44 cats and kittens. Seeing how there was a strong need for this kind of work Liz and Mick decided to start Aruba Kitten Rescue. Running the rescue as a not for profit foundation, Liz and Mick decided to unpack what teddies they had brought with them and sell them to raise funds for the project. Money from all sales goes to the Aruba Kitten Rescue. The Grumblebears web site has been updated and given a new look and everyone is eager for the good works begin. It would be great if people could adopt a cat or kitten that needs a good home, but that is just not always possible. The next best thing is to buy a beautiful teddy bear and help the Aruba Kitten Rescue financially. Money is needed to buy food, medicines and spaying or neutering. The orphaned and abandoned kittens and cats of Aruba need your help. Show you care - buy a bear! Click here for more information on how to purchase any of the bears you see on the web site.

Aruba Kitten Rescue is a not for profit facility founded in March of 2009. There are several organizations on the island that work for the rights of animals, but until the Aruba Kitten Rescue was created, the emphasis was mainly on dog rescue. The stray dog & cat dilemma on Aruba, is currently a large issue at hand. It is a problem not only from an animal welfare point of view, but how it affects public health and the balance of the native ecosystem as well. Please visit the Aruba Kitten Rescue website for more information. |
