USPS to issue Adopt a Shelter Pet stamps

[chat_noir]

Issue Date: April 30, 2010

On April 30, 2010, in North Hollywood, California, the Postal Service™ will issue a 44–cent, Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet special stamp in ten designs, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC.

With these 10 stamp designs, the U.S. Postal Service hopes to raise awareness of the need to adopt shelter pets.

The pets depicted on the stamps were photographed by Sally Andersen-Bruce near her home in New Milford, Connecticut. All had been homeless at one time; all but one had been adopted when they were photographed.

I wonder why there is a line through the '44' on the stamp?

2. beautiful cats...thanks for sharing...and for rescuing them

Q. I wonder why there is a line through the '44' on the stamp?

A. Maybe so that they can't be printed and used as postage?


Did you check out the cups, certificates, etc? They have a cup for Lucas,one of the shelter cats pictured on the stamps, and he looks like your Cranberry.
