Showing your appreciation and staying in touch are important human activities. But the fine art of letter writing has been replaced with email. We found for you web sites that offer free post e-cards with cat related photographs or animation.
Some may require you to establish a log-in to use their facility, others may not. Keep in mind that most photographs are copyrighted by the photographer who allows them to be used for e-cards only by the organization that exhibits them. You can utilize the organization’s e-card facilities; however, you cannot use the photograph in any other way. All those organizations listed below ask for sender and recipient email addresses, as well as first names and your personalized text message. Other options can include choosing music to accompany the e-card, a “postal stamp” or inspirational message. Some e-cards require Flash to be viewed, others are animated. National Wildlife Federation HREF = http://www.enature.com/ecard/ecard_home.asp offers over 1,000 nature and wildlife e-cards to choose from, many are copyrighted photographs. Searching Species “Cats” yielded 9 including the Florida Panther, Jaguar, Ocelot, Tiger, Cougar and Bobcat. In personalizing your card, you can add an inspirational quote from a pre-set list (which ranges from Buddha to Mark Twain), and selected a “postal stamp”. Each e-card includes a descriptive paragraph about the species that is also sent to the recipient. Care2.com has a large selection of animal and nature related email post cards from which to choose. All their free on-line e-cards allow you to select a "postal stamp" and music to go with your email card.
