Pumpkin the Abandoned Adult Cat—A Happy Tails Ending

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Do you remember my Paw It Forward Project to help get Pumpkin, an abandoned adult cat, away from living on a street corner?

Mom L did an “owner surrender” of Pumpkin to our wonderful Contra Costa Animal Services shelter. There were no fees and if he did not adjust to living in the shelter Mom L could pull him back and return him to the home on his street corner. Apparently from what Mom L learned from his feeder Miss Kandi, he has been living on the street corner for over fifteen months after being abandoned by tenants in the apartments on that corner. Miss Kandi was more the willing to continue to feed and care for Pumpkin if he found the animal shelter too much to bear.

Here is where he lived for all those months, in summer heat and last winter’s heavy rains.

This is the other side of “Pumpkin’s Corner”.

He lived under the plants and on the redwood bark chips

All those bark chips made it so hard for Pumpkin to keep his lovely white socks clean. He ate behind an electrical box and watched longingly as the world passed him by on his corner.

Well times changed for Pumpkin as soon as he arrived at the shelter.

Hmmm…this might not be too bad

They shaved off lots of his fur mattes and he found he could groom himself better without living in that redwood bark chip. And he also realized he liked being held.

Yup!! I am gonna really like this a ton!!!

Pumpkin was immediately placed in the shelter free roaming Kitty Korner where he had not problem with the other cats. That led the San Francisco SPCA to pull him within less than a week!! The SF SPCA has large free roaming cat rooms and they knew Pumpkin was going to fit right in.

Mom L doesn’t know “where” Pumpkin’s forever home is. BUT—Mom L never even saw him go up on their website! Rumor has it that it is likely that someone who works at the SF SPCA saw Pumpkin and adopted him for their very own!!

I like to think that Pumpkin is living in some snazzy San Francisco penthouse and dining on caviar served to him in Waterford crystal!!

Now don’t ya think this deserves to be titled a “Happy Tails Ending”??? Let me know what you think in comments!!

APAWS!! APAWS!! FOR PUMPKIN!!

My Secret Santa Paws ROCK!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I know this is the first day of a whole New Year and I am just getting around to posting about our Secret Santa Paws package. But, I have a good excuse for bein’ late. You see we haven’t had any drippy water days here but Ms. Sunshine sure has been stingy with her light. Seriously, we haven’t had enough natural light for Mom L to take photos of us enjoying our prezzies.

We finally got a couple of hours yesterday so Mom L had TKS get to opening that big box from our Secret Santa Paws. We are tickled our package was sent by our pals from Lola The Rescue Cat, Lexi and Lola!! APAWS for our Secret Santa Paws because they totally rock!

Unfortunately I wasn’t willing to leave my warm snuggly Alfie bed, so I let TKS do all the inspecting and opening of the prezzies. My art-right-us has kept me from doing my usual snoopervision chores. Good ole TKS was more than ready and willing.

Ok, can I dive in now?

Of course Mom L had to get her iPhone ready so TKS had to cease and desist.

Seriously Mom L! I don’t wanna wait much longer!

Finally she got the go ahead.

Now!! Take my photo for cat’s sake so’s I can get to inspecting

Now for the real work. Nosing out the best stuff to open first!

Snuffle, sniff, sniff—ahchoo!! I found the NIP!

Mom L had to get the prezzies ready for TKS to open, but in the mean time, I think TKS got a bit distracted.

Wow!! I can’t believe Lola and Lexi let us have this paper snake toy!! Awesome!

Then TKS became even more confused in what was a prezzie and what was the stuff used to “send” the prezzies.

What a treasure. They even sent us their very best ever box!

Finally Mom L shooed TKS away so she could at least get a photo of all the nice toys Lola and Lexi sent us and Miss Dawn even sent Mom L some sweets and a cute kitty coin purse. Mom L asked me to come down and pose but I said nope, not moving. So she sorta kinda shopped me into the photo just so my readers get to see me and all our prezzies.

Check this all out. Sweet! Don’t’ya think?

Thanks tons to Lola and Lexi and Miss Dawn for being our 2017 Secret Santa Paws!
