LOVE this pic I captured yesterday - Scooter, George and Mary Jane!

Well, last night around 6 pm. I finally received the call from the reporter telling me that my story was on RNEWS that very second. There I was, in full glory.  The kitties were the stars though.  They managed to splice a full hour and half of taping me, and all the conversations I had with the photographer, and put it into a one minute video on the news.  At least the important stuff got out.  I pray I can get SOME attention for this journey - feeding the homeless and feral cats of Rochester.  Below is a link to the story with a video that I cannot access, so I am waiting to find out how I can so that we can all view it.   Apparently Time Warner does not let you watch their videos unless you are a subscriber, which I am, and pay dearly for too I might add!  :) So, bear with me, JUST NOW they advised they are making the correction, and will also provide me with password to the video.  Also, my e-mail address is misspelled in the article.  I hope that this gets corrected.  In case anyone reading this does not know my e-mail address, its Janinethebean10@yahoo.com.

In the meantime, on Friday, on JANINE WAGNER DAY for the CITY OF ROCHESTER (ha ha), I had such an outpouring of love from friends, co-workers, and family.  I received a few checks, cards, some cat food (and even some pasta from the Pasta Queen!) was left on my porch or brought over by a few friends.  Thank you SO much for wanting to help me in my quest to feed these cats out there.  They are so hungry every day.  It was a special day on Friday, and I thank Walt again for his persistence in trying to get me recognized with the proclamation from the Mayor, and to Kristin for her persistence in trying to get me on the news.  A huge thank you to you both!!!

My friend Mary brought me the above - her husband Mike is a master carpenter, and has made a ton of these reindeer out of twigs and sticks.  Aren't they adorable?  He needs to start selling them!

Above is the latest rescue.  Butterscotch was brought to me by Kristin who needed to remove some cats from a neighbor's house, and I offered to take him because he is a real sweetheart.  Semi feral, but getting better each day.  That situation was a nightmare and we needed to get the cats out of the house there.  I know he looks mad in this picture, but Butterscotch is the sweetest animal I have ever known.  His purrer is the loudest!

I don't have a lot of time this morning, but if any new readers are checking this blog out, I urge you to go back a bit and read some more interesting stuff about what I do.   I sometimes don't have enough time to write on what the blog is intended for - the cats on the street, but its all related somehow.

Have a great day!
