Sarah Donner will be performing live at Catoberfest at 3pm!
Last month, Sarah Donner was a guest on my podcast (click here to listen), and in addition to being an amazing musician, she's also a hardcore cat lady, too! She's enjoyed viral video success with her sleepy kitten loves ukulele video, and just released this hilarious and informative clip profiling her recent adventure with TNR (trap, neuter, release).
In anticipation of Catoberfest, Sarah has generously offered TWO lucky Catsparella readers the chance to win a set of her 3 albums: The Sleep You've Been Missing, Reluctant Cat Lady, and Typing is Dangerous!
