Feed a Cat for Christmas!!! ANN & PETE B!

ANN and PETE!  Thank you for helping me to Feed MANY Cats through Christmas!  I go way back with these two.  Pete was my old boss at a big law firm.  We were buds too.  Some would call Pete cantankerous, I would call him a teddy bear.  I left the firm, Pete retired but soon thereafter became the judge of a small town east of Rochester.  Although Pete was always a hunter, they love their animals, especially dogs.  Thanks for thinking of me you two.  Even though its been many years apart, I still consider them good friends!

House being demolished soon (old feeding spot)

This weekend was INSANE.  I arrived Saturday morning to one of my spots, that is a vacant house which I have two feeding spots, one on each porch of the house, only to find a tape surrounding the house.  I knew that the next step would be demolition, as its on the demo list that a friend provided me for the new year.  I knew the day would come for this, but you are never ready - nor are the cats, to move to a new location, if its even possible.  I looked across the street - saw the vacant city lot, and Saturday Sheryl and I began dragging all the shelters over, and placed a tarp over that.  We called for the three kitties that were sitting on the porches of the house, across the street, to come eat at their new spot, but they were very confused.  I later stopped back and pretended I was pouring the food down at the new spot, all the while calling for kitties, and it did look like one or two found the new location as some of the food was gone.

NEW SHELTER

Sunday morning, I dragged a pallet to the new spot and placed it to get the food off the ground.  This morning, I replaced the tarp with a larger one, although I am in desperate need of heavy rocks.   The wind is coming also.  And this morning I did notice the kitties have found their food source.  I just pray they use the shelters here to take cover in once the house is demolished. 

DASHER now named BOGART!

Dasher has been adopted.  I am thrilled at his chance for a better life on the streets.  His foster mom loved him so, and found it very hard to let him go, but she knows that in order to save another, it must be done.  His new parents will keep in touch, and so far it sounds like the adjustment is going well.  Dasher's going to have a great life, and I couldn't be happier!  More news to come on that!

BACARDI

Baylee goes to get his remaining teeth out today, and Bacardi is going for a check up to see why he is still having 'bathroom issues'.  And then Bacardi is going to be adopted!!!  He must!  Such a SWEET boy!!!  Thanks to him foster mom for loving him unconditionally.
