January 30 - REBECCA!, January 31- ROWAN and February 1 - DIANE!!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Rebecca from Rite Aid, ROWAN, Pattie Hill's son, and Diane from Rite Aid!  Rowan collected food donations from his friends around the holidays for the feed a cat campaign.  One of his friends, obviously a cat lover, wrote the following.  Click on pics to see up close.



Haley's note!

and then there is Rowan.  What a great kid he is.  Here is what his mom posted on Facebook about it:

Jody Nolan That is newsworthy Pattie Inzer Hill.. You should contact your local paper about his project and hopefully it will raise community awareness of the plight of these animals and what Janine and you do to help prevent furthering the feral cat community and fostering those that you try to domesticate and find homes for.
Susan Brown Wonderful and how generous.
Carrie Petersen What an amazing kid! Thank you, Rowan!

Thank you to the three of you for feeding these hungry kitties!

And what a morning it was.  There were so many cats this morning.  Ones I've never seen before.  There were cat fights galore too.  At Pennsylvania and 4th, I had to cross over some 'lawns' to try to stop a vicious fight.  I can't imagine how these cats can tear each other apart.  Its a horrible sound.  We know these are unneutered cats, their hormones raging.  At Baldwin and Grand, the sweetest little older kitten, a red one, no ear tip, was playing in the grass.  At the end of my feeding, I walked slowly over to it and it would have allowed me to pet it until it saw a cat coming up from behind me.  A black one I rarely see there also, friendly.  I drove away with my heart to the floor, knowing this could be a wonderful pet for someone, and its just a baby, and to be leaving it there.  But surpassing the sad feeling of this, my Jeep began to let me know that its ailing by making another sound and bleeping 'check gages'.  I am in, once again, for hundreds of dollars to fix whatever is wrong. 

The temps are in the 40s and 50s, T-shirt weather.  Unbelievably wonderful.  In comparison to last year where for almost two months, the temps never reached higher than 10 degrees. 

Past Rescues:

If you'll all recall, Sweet Pea and Charlie.  Little Charlie was a fluff ball kitten that walked up to me on Central and Fifth, where so many cats have been rescued from.  Pic below is when Sweet Pea was just rescued.  Look how dirty she was.  A kind girl named Candy opened up her heart and home, and adopted both together!

Have a great day!

  1. Rowan,

    You are an Amazing young man! Not only did you help and make Janine very happy by collecting all that Cat food, you fed a lot of hungry and homeless kitties. There is no doubt in my mind that your Mom and everyone that knows you are very proud of you. If more kids were like you there would be a lot fewer hungry Cats on the street. Thank you very much Rowan. Your hard work paid off and really made a huge difference for the hungry cats.
