Pick Me! Pick Me!

Every day, when I finally get to my 16th stop, where I feed an average of three cats per stop, after a full hour of driving around a one or two mile radius, I get back in the car after feeding there on Seventh and think to myself - wouldn't it be nice if someone were to say 'Janine, I will take one of your most neediest cats, sight unseen, you choose.' - I took more pictures this morning of some of them, they are all needy of course, but there are three locations where they have nothing.  Nothing but a few bowls for food that I leave, under a tree, and then they wait for the next 24 hours before I come back to feed them.  When inclement weather exists, I either try to find something nearby where I can place the food for them to gobble before someone sees me, or I pray they eat fast under the pouring rain and then take shelter somewhere under a porch.  When it snows, that will be a whole different story.  Their freezing little pads on their feet won't do much good if they freeze on that snow.  I must get these innocents at these three locations off the street.  Here are some pictures of some of them I took this morning:

 

I hope and pray that people see the faces of these cats, and can see the desperateness in their eyes, and want to help. 

I also want to mention that Julie from Another Chance Pet Rescue called me (we work together at the hospital! :)) yesterday.   Its so much more pleasant to go to work knowing someone else is so close to me in such a large facility cares and DOES for cats like I do.  She stated that ACPR wanted to donate $100 to me.  As I always say and feel, no, please, you guys do enough.  They have taken in many pregnant cats that I've rescued over the years, and I am unbelieveably grateful for any gift I receive.  So thanks to this group for their kind offer and generosity.  In telling you this,  I want to state that I would never want a rescue group to feel that they have to match what another does, and even a single individual!  We all have our burdens and missions that we want to accomplish, and as long as we are there for each other in real times of need, that's all I care about.  In the meantime, spread the word about these street babies that need our help.

Have a great day!
