Back With A Guest Selfie

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I am back with another guest for Sunday Selfie. My new feline friend is only about six months old and she decided she wanted to give this Sunday Selfie Blog Hop thingy a try. I’ll let you try to figure out how I know this stunning young kitten. Why, she might even remind you of someone who has been on my Sunday Selfie as a guest before—let me know if you figure out who she is.

Miss Guest Selfie is joining our pals The Kitties Blue and their infamous Sunday Selfie Blog Hop. Paw the badge and go have some fun!

Please welcome my mystery guest Miss Minime.

Isn’t she just the cutest girl cat? And she is searching desperately for her very own home. She has four siblings and would sure like to have one of them join her when she goes off to her very own special permanent family. I’ll be tellin’ you more about her and her sibs soon. Remember, let me know who you think she is and/or who she reminds you of.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

My Progress Is Showing

HIYA! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I haven’t “officially” reported on my progress in a while. You see I am an adult shelter cat recovering from early kitten hood trauma. Yep, that’s me. I last talked about a bit of my current progress here.

What I didn’t tell you clearly is that I am finally, after almost five years in my forever home, bonding with Dad P! Yep, that’s right. Every morning now, for about the last two months, I look to Dad P, not Mom L, for my morning pet.

For those of you who have followed me from the beginning, you know that I have always been afraid of Dad P, and most other men. But times—they are ‘a changin’!

First time ever in five years—this morning, September 27th, I invited Dad P for a play with ME!!

It turns out that I kind’a like the same wand toy TKS likes. It is the wand with ONLY the string attached!

I was havin’ a great romp with Dad P and then guess who showed up??

Once I saw Mom L was just tryin’ to capture “the moment”—I decided what the Mouses! Let’s do it again!

I forgot all about Mom L taking those photos and focused on my “ME TIME” with Dad P.

I hope my readers understand what a HUGE BIG DEAL this is that I am asking Dad P for pets every single morning. I even give him little head butts! And now—I asked Dad P to play with me! This is HUGE progress for me. Thank you all for joining me in my journey to recover from early kittenhood trauma. Progress can be slow to show up, but it does if our guardians are patient and kind and understand we adult shelter rescue cats need both.

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

Never Let This Happen Again #remembermethursday

HIYA! SAVANNAH AND THE KID SAGE HERE!!

The Kid Sage and I are joining paws across the world to bring focus on the urgent need to remember all those companion, adoptable animals who were not fortunate like us—their forever family did not find them. Some, well—they did survive because of that.

JUST SAY NO!

NO MORE RESCUE ANIMALS LEFT BEHIND

#remembermethursday #remembertherescue

Today is a day to #remembertherescue #remembermethursday. This global event across all channels of social media is founded and hosted by Helen Woodward Animal Center along with brands which support this movement.

I am a former adult shelter cat, considered “less adoptable” due to my extreme shyness and fear. I am going to make a difference, four paws at a time, if that is what it takes.

Many of us who work the social media channels to promote those who are languishing in shelters, left without hope—and no matter what social medial channel we use—we always get all those comments about ” so hope [it] finds a home”; wish I were closer; etc. Those are always kind THOUGHTS.

But, #remembermethursday is a CALL TO ACTION. I, Savannah the Cat, say do not leave those comments unless you also tell me that you have SHARED that rescue animal’s plight, urgency across every social media channel you access. Even if you can email that plea to all your friends. DO SOMETHING!

These animals literally die. They need OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY to SHARE SHARE SHARE AND PROVE WE CARE!

*steps down, one paw at a time, off soap box*

Many caring humans believe that once a cat is “rescued” by a non-profit rescue, and taken into foster care that he cat is now “safe” and “has a home”. That is so not true. I tried very hard to bring to light the fact that there are hundreds of rescues who have “foster adult cats” languishing in their care and these cats are so adoptable it makes me, Savannah the Cat, almost ashamed to have the loving home I now have.

I was totally considered as “less adoptable”. I was extremely shy and terrified of both other cats and humans. And yet, even though my rescue shelter told Mom L and Dad P that I did not need any toys as I never played—loving care and a patient home proved everyone wrong. If not for the rescue system, I would not be writing this blog.

This year you can all get the entire world talking about pet adoption. AND more importantly , you can help your favorite rescue bring home some Green Papers OR some NOMS!! Yummy! Enter HERE!

Please join me all day tomorrow to spread the love and caring all shelter animals need to NOT BE LEFT BEHIND.

BEST BREED EVER—ADOPTED!!!

PAW PATS AND HEAD BONKS, SAVANNAH AND THE KID SAGE
