Wonderful World of Meeroos®

Oh no! Our helper roos seemed to dropped our candy filled pumpkins all over the grid this year when we asked them to help us decorate, those silly roos!

If you'd like to help us recover all of our missing pumpkins, we're willing to reward you with a prize!

We're having a grid wide Pumpkin Hunt October 1-31 2013. The fun starts @ ROO where you pick up your cauldron before starting your journey to recover our lost candy filled pumpkins. Once you finish discovering them all you return to ROO to collect your prize!

Hunt Start Date: 10/01/2013
Hunt End Date: 10/31/2013

After arriving on the Isle of Meeroo origin, I hadn't had long to explore before I realized there was something very different going on here. First was the sudden plethora of collections of this and that that the Diurnal Meeroos were coming up with as they roamed the island. That put my thoughts in the direction of getting the Meeroo's that had traveled with me settled into their own spaces so I could observe what else they might find on this enchanted isle, and that's when I noticed that the Nocturnals that had arrived with us were nowhere to be seen.

Ahoy there mateys!

Thank you all for coming out and making our Talk Like A Pirate day parties amazing! Despite first mate Tiger somehow managing to not only sink our ship but also set it on fire, we were still able to get 24 treasure chests off of it in time for pirate trivia! We hope you all enjoy your Pollys! There were soooo many beautiful costumes there, which made choosing the top pirate costume even harder! It is no wonder our first party had a tie for best costume.

12pm costume contest winners:

The bonny lasses Wilma & Zoephia!

7pm costume contest winner:

The Dreaded Captain Rick!

There was fun, the finest imported Ambroosia we could plunder free flowing all night and treasure to be had for all! We hope you all had as much fun as we did and we can't wait to see you again at the next party!

Arrrr,
Captain Mewwy

Now that the dust has settled, I finally got a chance to meet up with Jeff Kremer at Big Cat Rescue and deliver him a nice donation to help out all the amazing animals!

ps. I'm the one on the left :-D

It should come as no surprise to you all that cats hold a special place in the hearts of most of us on the Meeroos team. It should be even less of a surprise that our very own Mr. Tiger loves them even more than most! That is why this year in honor of his birthday we have decided to host a fundraiser event for one of his favorite cat rescue groups, Big Cat Rescue.

Big Cat Rescue works very hard to take care of neglected, abused and abandoned big cats. 100% of their donations go directly to the care of their cats and to help stop abuse. Located in Tampa, Fl they have built a big cat sanctuary giving these cute creatures more space to roam then their abusers offered.

We decided to focus on one of their rescues named Amazing Grace. She is an ocelot who was saved in 1996 by BCR. We will have ocelot statues and a paint set available during the fundraiser to help raise awareness to their cause as well as raise much needed funds to keep these cats cared for and safe. For more information about Gracie, please check her out on the web @ http://bigcatrescue.org/amazing-grace

We will be having a party to end our fundraising event this Friday with trivia and BCR inspired items. The event will last a week and 100% of the purchases and donations made directly to the specially marked vendors will go to Big Cat Rescue at the end of the event. For more info about BCR please check out their website @ www.BigCatRescue.org.

Party Starts: Friday 08/23/2013 @ 12pm Slt & 7pm Slt.

It's probably no secret that we here at Meeroos are big animal fans. You kind of have to be to work with these amazing little creatures day in and day out and still be passionate about sharing them with the rest of the world! Everything from our personal RL pets ( Parrots to Horses to Kittens and more), to the majestic animals of the world.

It's relay weekend!

Stop on down today & tomorrow to show your support! Don't forget to pick up your free super cute balloon!

You probably weren't aware, but LL has a serious issue with the MP and they aren't paying merchants for every sale. This is a direct hit to our bottom line, and we won't be reimbursed for our losses until we hand verify every MP sale for the last few weeks, which is an undo burden on our staff. So effective immediately our MP items are being deactivated until they can provide a functioning, stable platform for future sales. If you have your own MP store, I strongly urge you to review all your transactions for missing payouts since the new MP payment system went into effect.
