Saturday Photo Hunt and An Earlier Post…
Hiya! Savannah Here!
Another early post…
FEBRUARY 28, 2012 Post:
My First Memories
So, OK. This is what I was told, not what I remember…cuz’ I kinda can’t remember stuff until I was finally saved from the county shelter by Tammy and taken to Kitty Corner…so here is what I was told and I have added the little bit I kinda remember…mostly stuff about how I was feeling…
Intake date – 11/30/10 – night drop at the Martinez shelter. Came in as a stray…
- If I could’a cried I would have. OMG…I am in a cage, someone must have trapped me or maybe my last family just couldn’t keep me and so decided to drop me here.
- First thoughts…thank you whoever you were that you dropped me at the Martinez shelter and not on the side of the road!!! Whew! First missed bullet!
- Oh dear… I am so afraid
I was at the shelter till December 22, 2010– then was taken to Pittsburg Petsmart and then I was brought back to the shelter on January 20th 2011 for a cage break…
- Oooohhhh…I am so scared…what is going to happen to me…
- Does anyone want me…and what did I do wrong…I am so sorry if I did something wrong… please forgive me
- And…I so totally know the Martinez Shelter and Petsmart were really trying to help me—really—they were totally kind…it was all just so scary
Now I have had a cage break—that means I was allowed to be out of a small cage and given a tad more space then taken to Concord Petsmart January 31, 2011
Then…I had to go back to the shelter on Feb 3rd 2011 cuz’ I was showing signs of depression…then I caught a bad cold—called a URI.
I know the shelter was ready to, well….you know what…ummm, ahhhh, put me to sleep forever cuz’ nobody wanted me…I was so withdrawn, hiding in the back of my cage…shivered a lot out of fear I guess…I don’t know…sigh…
Ok, I’m gonna stop for now—I am getting kinda sad and just like humans, we cats have forgotten memories and writing about this stuff is sorta bringing back some of those memories…so I’m gonna go find my Dad or Mom and hang with them right now…I need some pets and maybe a little play time too.
SATURDAY: September 22, 2012
…here is a photo of me in my first days with Mom and Dad…taken with iPhone…I was really scared…
That was what my Mom learned after questioning lots of peeps who were involved with me from the time I was dropped in the night cage at the county shelter.
…now for current times…Mom and Dad have already prepared my prison hotel suite for when I must be secluded while the movers take our furniture on Monday…(this is in keeping with Saturday Photo hunt “ESCAPE”)…this is my Kitty Potty Pod and feeding station…
…and my dark closet bedroom right next to it…
Paw pats, Savannah
Savannah's Paw Tracks 
You look like a different cat from your early pictures! I am so purleased you found a forever home with your mum and dad not only do they worship you (although they tried to hide it they fail!) but we have become furiends which is the bestest part! When is moving day?
TODAY!!!!!i am in my hotel suite already and very very scared….pant pant….sniffle
O no, I am sending MASSIVE hugs! but you have nothing to be scared of, you have your humum and dad wth you and they will keep you safe, try and remember that!!
that’s just what Mom was thinking! I looked more relaxed, at ease, now I think I already responded, but today Monday is THE MOVE
Your a credit to your folks!! So much more relaxed (so long as we gloss over the move!)
Well, I gotted a little leaky reading this but then I a-membered you ended up in a happy happy home so I gotted unleaky again! Your little suite looks adequate for a brief stay, since you do *not* want to get mixed up with the movers! It’s almost done! I can’t wait to see your new house, sweet girl! XOXOXO
We’re so happy you’re in your perfect forever home now.
paw pats…purrrrs…and I am so comfy now and know I am loved…
All of us haf terrible, awful memories of “before” too. We think what matters is “after”! Kisses from all of us at Prancer Pie.
oh yes Me too! I keep telling efurryone, I am just posting my very first posts…because Mom doesn’t have time to do new ones until after THE MOVE…and I did not have many readers in the beginning…paw pats, Savannah
So sorry you had to go thru so much turmoil in your life, Savannah:( I know your Mom and Dad feel the stress and the frightening memories that haunt you. I pray you can overcome your past as Mom and Dad give you the love and security you so badly need-love you sweet girl. Nose kisses.
oh my Miss Charlotte…you are so kind and your encouragement is much appreciated. And I am only sharing my early posts because Mom doesn’t have time to do new ones right now. We are moving Monday to a different home. Lots of anxiousness for me, Mom and Dad…I am doing well now…but I thought some readers would like to know about my first posts…paw pats, Savannah
OMC! I am crying reading about this. It brought back such horrid memories as I was in 2 shelters also. Cod knows what happened to me cos the peeps think I was abused somewhere down the line. *hides head under covers* BTW, I’m mentioning you in my new post, up today or tomorrow.
Oh CK! I am so sad to learn you also experienced some kind of abuse as I did. It leaves me with bad dreams…I really do meow out in my sleep and wake crying for Mom and I run to her wherever she is. You and I CK are so fortunate to have warm homes and very caring Guardians. Sending you warm soft paw strokes…Savvt
My body sometimes spasms in my sleep and TW wakes up and says “It OK CK.” I used to cry out whenever the peeps weren’t in the room with me cos I thought they abandoned me.
oh my…I do that too…I do cry out in my sleep..and then Mom calls to me and I come directly to her and she strokes me and sings to me…I have nightmares…and talk in my sleep. Sending you some very caring soft paw strokes Keisha…thank you so much for meowing with me about our pasts. Savvy
Savvy, you must not think too much about the bad times right now. I can understand why you would, but it is going to be okay. Your Mom and Dad will be there for you and we are all waiting for you.
Sending more purrs
Oh I don’t think much about it. I am just putting up my earliest posts cuz so many readers never read them and Mom doesn’t have time for new stuff. Thank you for such kind thoughts Texas. Smoochies to Kitshka and paw pats for you and Milou

I know it’s hard to bring back those memories but just think how far you’ve come in such a short time! You’ve got parents who love you and now you’re about to have a new home to explore – AND you’ll be able to get back into a routine (which I think helps those of us who are a bit nervous/skittish). You’re on the final countdown and your hotel suite looks perfectly comfy – don’t be scared. OK?
Kitty Hugs, Sammy 😀
Ohhh Savannah….we are soooooooooooo happy you have the most catabulous home EVER!!
Your story is so sad it brought tears to my eyes. I am so very, very glad that you found such a wonderful home. Good luck with all the moving. Hope it goes really well and smoothly.
Hey Savvy, I’m sure it won’t be as bad as you think. And in a few days you’ll have a lovely new home to explore 🙂
We’ve missed a lot because we’ve been on break while the human’s been on holiday, but we see you’re moving. Somehow we think it would be better if you DIDN’T escape, okay? 🙂
yeah, I know I wont. Mom is gonna put a huge sign on the door to my hotel suite that tells anyone who enters and lets me out…Mom and Dad will hunt them down and no one will ever hear from them again…
