The SF/SPCA 21st Annual Holiday Windows opened today at Macy's Union Square. It's the 11th year that I've been involved and it is my favorite animal event. The amount of work and man hours that's involved is mind boggling. We have over one-thousand volunteer shifts, that will assist us through this six-week event which runs through New Year's Day. Macy's visual team came from all over to assist with the design and production of the windows. We will adopt out approximately 220 cats and 20 dogs at the windows during this period.
One of the pictures is a Macy's team member placing the final touches on the Beach Blanket Babylon Window. The other one is a SF/SPCA orange tabby making good use of the luxurious accommodations. There are several other windows with the themes of: The Painted Ladies, The Nutcracker, Macy's Parade, and The Union Square Christmas Tree.
Steve Young was very generous and performed the unveiling for us, for which I will forever be grateful. We've never had a celebrity of his stature lend his name to this event, and I feel the unveiling got the attention it deserved.
Please shop and support the Windows Sponsor's like, PetFood Express, Wag Hotels, Hush Puppies, Urban Decay (cruelty free), KONG Pet Toys, Nature’s Variety, VPI Petcare Services, Greenies, The San Francisco Examiner, 7x7, and California Home and Design. And please take a moment and tell Macy's Inc, how much you love these windows that find homes for homeless animals. We want to be invited back again and again!

Oh, hooray! I love the SPCA windows at Macy's. Can anyone volunteer? I'd love to talk my boyfriend into doing it with me, he's a huge animal lover.
Thanks Lena, and Thanks for going to check them out and posting those adorable pictures.
