Good Stuff

Before I get on to today's post, I forgot to mention Mylene, a new friend of mine, who is very big into animal rescue - she does a LOT of trapping, and helps several rescue groups that need her.  I had requested last week someone to attend the community gathering on Grand and Baldwin with me, and since really no one responded, or was able to, I asked Mylene, and she didn't hesitate.  I was honored to have her there with me, to represent and defend the cats, if needed.  And it wasn't.  And we BOTH had a great time.  Thank you Mylene, for spending your precious time with me on a Saturday afternoon, for the kitties!

This kind of stuff makes me cry.  Happy cries!  This is from Webster's new mom, and photos she took with her sick child at home.  I am so grateful to be able to get these cats off the streets, and I am sure they are grateful to be saved.  :)

"He is doing great and a total keeper~
My husband accidentally did not close bathroom door all the way yesterday morning so he actually came out and went exploring.

He has not hid in bathroom since or wanted his carrier. He likes to explore and seems to love company does not like to be alone much,
He discovered our 3 season room and my bed and seems to like to explore and really likes the kids.
He is doing great with all the others only my one little guy Ron who has a Napoleon complex is still a little growly with him but he will come around.
I had them all eat some wet food together last night and so far he has been going in all the rooms with them and they seem to be getting used to each other.

My other daughter Callaway (Callie) is home sick today so I am going into work late when my husband can get home to watch her rest of day.
Webster is laying on her now keeping her company on the couch.

He LOVES cat toys which is so nice since he was on streets as I had one cat I took in who had no idea what a toy was or even how to climb up on a chair so I could tell he was treated badly at his last home. This little guy is very playful and loves to be comfy!

Thank you so much for rescuing him~ we just adore him."
