Cat Rescue Work Keeps Going

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I’ve been going on and on about our move, and I do have more to say about that, but you know Mom L and Dad P did NOT stop doing what they could to help shelter cats and community cats.

We had only been in our new home about ten days and it was time for the July SNIP (Spay Neuter Impact Program) Clinic. Mom L and Dad P never hesitated—they signed up for their usual full shifts. You can learn more about SNIP if you read some of my earlier posts here and here.

There were eighty-five cats who passed through this last clinic, one was lovingly helped to The Bridge as he was very ill. A full clinic and every single human hand was needed to make this happen. At the last minute Mom L learned there were not enough Vets and it would be cancelled. And then a miracle—Miss Eileen who is a primary organizer for SNIP sent out a plea to Vets across the San Francisco Bay Area and they come through! One Vet clinic owner brought several of his vets and vet techs!! Success!!!

Thought you would enjoy seeing some of the kitties. Their eyes reveal how frightened they are but if only they understood how much this clinic will improve their quality of life.

These pretty Siamese girls came in from a community member who trapped them in her back yard.

Only one would turn around for Mom L, the other gave her backside view! They had to be transferred to individual cat traps to be admitted because the clinic does not allow cats to come through in cat carriers. The policy is in place to try to insure member of the public do not use this clinic to S/N their own pets. This clinic is solely for S/N and vaccinate community cats.

Two more “worried eyes” Mom L checked in for their SNIP experience.

Dad P and Mom L also responded with a “no problem” when the Adoption Manager from Contra Costa Humane Society asked if they could transport eight adult cats from the county animal shelter to my old home at Kitty Corner!! And we were STILL in the process of getting moved! Be sure to hover over photos for captions!

You guys are all the best blogville pals ever for pawticipating!!

I was laughing my furry tail off reading your captions. Gotta luvluvluv Two French Bulldogs creativity about aliens at the stabby place!! Right?? Totally what it feels like goin’ to that place!

If you have a particular favorite set of captions you wanna give a shout out to in a comment, please do. The authors will be so proud you acknowledged them!

A special message to all my readers who are sticking with me in 2017. I know I have been a rotten buddy when it comes to leavin’ comments and whatnot. For that I am so very regretful, but I can only do so much without Mom L’s thumbs. I hope you unnerstand—sigh. My reader views are so far down since November 2016 that it looks like Mom L and I may have to decide to toss in the kitty litter and call my blog quits. I’ll let ya know in the next few weeks what we decide.

No matter what, it has been my privilege as a former adult shelter cat to try and make a difference for all those kitties and woofies who have no voice like I do. Thank you all for following me and keeping hope alive for all those rescue kitties and woofies who are left behind.

Until next time—

PAW PATS, SAVANNAH

PeeEss—remember Momma Kat. I do not know how long it will take. Momma has no inquiries and same for her kittens. It looks like MK was a feral 1-2 year old. Thus, she is very shy, only beginning to become socialized. She does have a sweet nature, can be picked up, and is comfortable with other cats. I am hoping the rescue will give her a new name. I hold her Momma Kat Hope Chest in storage so that it will go with her whenever she finds her true home.

However, I have had a sad fallout with the rescue and they no longer trust me. This rescue is a truly honorable organization and I know I am at fault for their lack of trust in me. I don’t know what to do so I continue to fulfill the promise I made to MK in my heart…I will stick with her until she has a home. I just wish she had more updates on her progress. Purrlease hold MK in your hearts and prayers.

Get Your Squeee! Part Two

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Do you remember the Community Concern 4 Cats kitchen clinic Mom L helps with? I hope you do. I posted my first “Get Your Squeee” on November 7, 2016.

As I said back in November, Mom L and Dr Josie have lots of patients so I am presenting a few more for your “squeeeing”!

I have more to come but it seems a good time at the start of a New Year to remind all of us what cat rescue really means.

Just to add to your enjoyment, I am gonna give you a series of photos of three cats and the Cat Kitchen Clinic. In comments, please give me a set of captions for one or more of the series. These series tell a story for each cat’s experience at the clinic. Can you make up that story?

Ok my pals!

Pick one of the series of photos
In comments tell me how you would caption each photo to express what the cat was experiencing.

Make them fun! All of these cats are adoptable rescues from community cat colonies or rescued stray cats.

I will post the captions on Monday, January 16. Don’t let me down kitties, I know you can all do some mind melding to get inside these kitties heads and know just what they are thinkin’.
