TGIF!!!

A woman contacted me the other day about her missing cat from the Garson/Merchants area - another new reader who tries to help owners find their missing cats found my blog and passed it on to this woman after seeing a kitty in one of the pictures I took and thinking that it might be her missing kitty, Felix.  She didn't think so, after studying the markings from the very poor picture I was able to get that morning, but I told her I would persevere and keep an eye out for her kitty, because I see SO many strays.  You just KNOW they were once someone's pet.  Here is a better picture of the kitty that I was so hoping would be the missing cat Felix:

Cats on Ferndale & Webster

I pray this woman finds her baby boy.  In the meantime, these three cats on Ferndale and Webster are desperate for a home before the winter, their shelters have been destroyed, and these people do not want me, or the cats, in their neighborhood. 

Laura has been unsuccessful in trying to trap Neck Wound Kitty - aka Nicky.  Nicky was waiting for me again this morning, and as I placed food and water down for him on Parsells, he let out the saddest cry.  It sounded haunting almost.  He has been in pain for quite a while now, and I just don't know what to do with this untrappable cat.

Meanwhile, I did pick up the cat that I thought was emaciated, Laura did bring this very friendly, newly spayed, several litters already kitten (it is very young) in to her vet and they were not alarmed at her condition, stating that she had been a nursing mother, she may have had worms, she was treated for that and for fleas, and was returned to the streets.  I would love to find her a home, if anyone has interest.  I did not, however, see the grey kitten here this morning.  I will continue to look for it each morning now.  It will surely be back. 


Some good news to leave you with!  Little Red is going to be adopted!  My good friend Nancy, who has taken at least six cats that I've rescued from the streets over the past two years, two have passed since (right Nance - Jack and Buster?), has offered to adopt him.  I can't tell you how thrilled, and lucky, and blessed I am to have Nancy step up to the plate for him.  He is very shy, and will need a little work, but I know he is going to come around and be the cuddliest little boy ever.   Thank you Nancy!  I wish we had more people like Nancy, willing to take that chance! 

Have a great weekend!!!

  1. skinny is such a cutie, and I guess neck wound kitty wont be able to be caught until he is very weakend by his injury......I know you will never give up on him whilst he is still around Janine. What a great home little red will have with Nancy, a wonderful outcome there for you J. xoxox

  2. Janine, I'm honored to help you with another of your great rescue kitties. I believe the number is 9, with Redford/Pepper aka Little Red. I still have 6, plus this one, plus the two that passed. Him and Mr. Whiskers will enjoy life together chasing each other. I'll see you Sunday!! Nancy C.

  3. Once again - you work your miracles! And Nancy - well, she is just an angel. :) Little Red - from wounded, limping, in pain and homeless to on the mend and adopted into a loving family - all in less than a week. Simply amazing and wonderful! ♥
