10 Year Old Boy Orders Cat Shaped Pillow at Animal Shelter Store to Replace Deceased Cat

Germantown, NY- On Sunday January 11th, 10 year old Jesse Claspill from Missouri placed an order at the Animal Shelter Store for what he hoped was a real cat. Jesse had lost his beloved family cat that morning to liver failure and wanted a new kitty.

Jesse placed order #1153 for a “Cat Shaped Natural Fiber Fill Pillow” at the company’s website http://www.animalshelterstore.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1 Jesse’s Father Jeff Claspill promptly emailed Pet Commerce Direct, the website owners, to cancel the order.

The company’s website located at www.animalshelterstore.com focuses on fundraising for animal charities and donates up to 25% of profits back to participating animal shelters and rescues. The online store features almost two thousand pet products, including recall free pet foods, treats and natural remedies and pet lover gifts.

Animal shelters and rescues register to participate in the program and then receive monthly donation checks from successful sales. Shoppers are able to give credit to their favorite animal shelter or rescue either by clicking through banners on the shelter’s website or by selecting their favorite rescue from a drop down menu at checkout. As of January 2009 the site features more than 100 active animal shelters and rescues of every size
