Thank you WALT and KARON S. for helping me to Feed a Cat - CATS! -
for Christmas! There are so many of them out there, its not just one!
Their gift is in
memory of their friend and neighbor's kitty Romeo, who recently passed. I
am so sorry to hear this about Romeo. Its SO hard to lose what we love.
So hard.
Thank you both for
your help throughout years… You have
gone above and beyond for me in situations where I needed a few extra
hands. Thank you! Good and kind
peeps you are!
Happy Groundhog's Day! In case you want to know more about Groundhogs, here is a great link to read! http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/01/31/9-things-you-didnt-know-about-groundhogs/
This morning is Callie’s surgery spay day. I was able to get her in that quick. So glad.
She can get that part over with and begin living a good life off the streets. She may have been someone’s kitty at some
point, but she was living under the steps of a boarded up house for many
months. She came out every day to eat
when I arrived, but never trusted me enough until yesterday. Maybe she remembers that I freed her from the
locked boarded up house? Do cats
remember stuff like that? J
We had at least three inches of snow overnight and during my
rounds this morning. Not worth
shoveling, I just kicked aside the snow at each of my locations so that I could
lay down the wet and dry food and water without it freezing faster in the
snow. Kitties came in and out of
shelters, which was good to see. The
shelters on Parsells are still there, thank God, next door to the house where
they were on the porch. The
owner/landlord must not know about them yet.
I pray he never finds out (sure…) because there is NO WHERE for these
10-15 cats to go. There is no lot or
abandoned house I can move these shelters, and cats to. Believe me, I’ve been doing this for years.
Here are scenes from this morning. (Be sure to click on pics to see up close!)

| GOOBER |
I saw this pathetic little kitty that I’ve wanted to rescue but does not
come every day, but my bathroom was full because of Callie, and that’s all I
can handle right now. One at a time in
my house. That is why fostering and
adopting is so critical. I can rescue
this one next, but I need to free up my bathroom. A friend has offered to keep Callie until
adoption. So tomorrow, if the little guy
is there, I will grab him. But then I
must get him in to clinic. He needs
neutering! I am going to name him
Goober. Hey, I like that name! Goober is just under a year. And he is feeling thin. And the older cats at this location won’t let
him eat. I try to scare them off to the
shelters that are in the back, but they insist on hanging by the road waiting
for me to give them food. So therefore,
Goober can’t eat. I have to stand there
with him so that he can get something into his stomach.
Such is life I guess.

| RUFUS |
This is my Rufus. I rescued many many years ago when he was a kitten running around on Hayward Avenue. I call him Crazy Eyes. He looks demented when he looks at you. :)
Have a great day.
"Life is either a daring adventure
or nothing at all."
I remember when you rescued Rufus as young cat. He was a doofus then, too! Ha.
ReplyDeleteHope you're able to find Callie a foster home so you can grab Goober.
