Tigger Update: Friday Frolics

(click on badge to read his story)

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well, I am late today but I have a very, very good reason…

You see Tigger is having a long weekend at Kitty Corner, my former shelter, while his foster guardian Miss Tammy has a get-away. The good news is that now Tigger will meet more of the volunteers and they will obviously luvluvluv him so much they will talk to all their friends.

And even better, over the weekend is when the public often visit Kitty Corner to pick out a kitty to whom they want to offer a forever home. And Tigger is such a great big love bug…we just know if the perfect peeps show up…then Tigger will be snatched up!!! Keep all paws crossed, okay???

The bad news is that Mom L and Dad P need to go over each morning and evening to give Tigger some pain med. The vet clinic that did his dental 2 weeks ago failed to give him any antibiotics before or after his dental…and he had severe gingivitis and required extraction of both his upper molars which are the largest teeth in a cat’s mouth…so stitches. Still, no antibiotic was considered and guess what??

Yep, Tigger developed an infection so Mom L and Dad P took him to the vet again and they finally gave him both an antibiotic injection and some pain med. Tigger is feeling a WHOLE lot better now!

Check out the ‘SELFIES’ Tiggy took this morning when Mom L had him in her lap (Tiggy loves laps and brushes)

Mom L was feeling pretty eager to get more new images of Tigger so she also tried doing a video using her smart phone. Miss Lisa from A Tonk’s Tail taught a great session at this year’s Blog Paws about how to do short videos to help promote shelter cats…(turn up your sound…you might hear him purring right at the beginning)

So, how do you think Mom L did with her first try at doing a promotion video for Tigger??? Besides the fact that she stuck her finger over the camera once and giggled it some…oh, and she forgot to mention Tigger’s age and how he has all his vaccines and he is micro chipped…sigh…Mom L still has lots to learn.

One last thing…several of you wanted to know how that DIY project turned out for Dad P and The Kid Sage…

A project near and dear to Dad P’s heart…BIGGER SOUND for the TV…both of us, me and The Kid Sage are not pleased. Dad P put up those surround sound thingys…and they about blast us both off the couch or chair where we sit at night with Mom L and Dad P. But, if it makes him happy…after all…he is the one who makes our breakfast…

Do You Believe Social Media Saves Lives?: Thursday Purrsday

(click to read full story & get badges)

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!

I am dancing a happy dance, meowing a happy song and purring like crazy because of the POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA that helps me give a voice to the cats and woofies who come to me asking for help finding their forever home or a responsible foster home. I am leaping around because I know Social Media enable me to help those who need assistance raising some funds to cover the cost of medical care for a particular need.

Truly, you have to luvluvluv rescue…

I learned the THREE TRUTHS about companion animal rescue…

Sharing saves lives…

I cannot save all…not alone…not even with all my anipals’ help…

I can “Paw It Forward”…SHARE, Re-TWEET, RE-POST…together we can MAKE A DIFFERENCE…

Sharing, Caring…Saves Live

(you can search my archives using each animal’s name to read about their rescue story)

Let me introduce my newest woofie rescue pal…

CASH

Oh, Hi!!!

Cash insisted on sharing his story with you all by himself…please pull up a cushion, relax, grab a bone to chew or a nip mouse to nibble…

“Hi, my name is Cash, you know, after that famous singer Johnnie Cash…

…when my fur coat comes back I will not only be dressed in black, but will have enough white to show off my dark black coat. Oh, and did you notice? I have freckles on my snooter!

Freckles!

My Vet Doc thinks I am a Siberian Husky, but I don’t have any papers. I was found in August, 2014… attached by a short rusted chain to a post, in the North Carolina heat with no shelter or shade. The neighbors told my rescuer I often had no food or water either.

But, I have heart!

I am only about a year old, and even though my coat was so matted, sunburned and flea infested I had to be shaved…

…I still have a great heart and just adore all humans and other dogs as well.

I have been neutered, tested for heart worm (negative) and now treated for heart worm and fleas…all up to date on my vaccinations and ready to go…except I have no where to go.

My rescuer is from Los Angeles, CA… and he will be flying me back there in early September.

But here’s the problem…I can’t stay with him because he has 3 other rescue dogs he must find homes for…as he has just rescued them from living death on the street of Puerto Rico where he was working on a job.

So I am hoping one of you out there might let me come hang out with you for a month or so. My rescuer said he will take care of any vet care and food etc. if you can provide me a safe, loving foster home with a fully fenced yard from which I cannot escape.

We huskies are known as the “ultimate canine escape artists”. Of course, if any of you want to give me my permanent home, that would be even better. My rescuer has help with reviewing adoption applications to ensure my foster, or permanent, home will be safe, loving and with a fully fenced yard.

If you would like to know more about me or meet me, please contact my rescuer by email: BrettD@relativitymedia.com.

You may also download a lovely rescue flyer Savannah made just for me at this link:

http://webidworx.com/rodgers/CashFlyer01.pdf

I really appreciate any help you can give me. If you personally cannot foster or adopt me, would you mind copying this flyer and posting it at vet offices, no kill dog rescues or anywhere else you think of.

If you would share my search for my foster home OR EVEN BETTER…for my permanent home on Face Book, Twitter, Google +, Pinterest…anywhere you are willing, I will send you my softest ‘woos’ of gratitude. We Sibes don’t often bark, we speak in ‘woo’s and arwwwooo’s”. Play bows, Cash

Savannah here…I hope you all believe in the Power of Social Media to Save Lives as much as I do and will SHARE, RE-TWEET, PIN…to help Cash find at least a short term foster home…even better…his permanent home.

Want to See My Soft Side?: Monday Meowsie News

(click to read full story & get badges)

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!
(hover to read full captions and click to bigify)

I was having a little staff meeting with Mom L and I confessed to her…I sometimes worry that my furriends think I am mostly a stern looking cat…and that must lead them to believe I do not have a softer side…I don’t always look like this you know…

I have something serious to share

I know, I know…some of you remember some photos of me showing a more soft side…

Purrfect…keep rubbing…

What? I am comfy this way!

But that was a year or so ago…so I asked Mom L to shoot a couple of videos of me being all lovey dovey with her like I do EVERY SINGLE DAY…especially in the morning…(EDIT: Mom L’s voice was deleted, thank you Window Movie Maker and You Tube…~~please forgive Mom L’s gooey talk…but that’s how I like her to talk to me…’nuff said about that..~~.)

I really like to have Mom L pat my butt…and then she sort of helps me scoot along…sometimes I cover almost a complete circle doing this OR I can cover several feet because I keep pulling myself forward every 30 seconds or so…it’s a kind of game we play…I luvluvluv it!

And I also allow Mom L to give me toe massages…mostly my hind toes…it’s nice

So the only other Monday Meowsie News I have is about Dad P and The Kid Sage doing another one of their DIY Projects…personally, I try hard to stay out of their way…heh…heh…

peeEss…Mom L is having a photo shoot session with Tigger today…so I think we will have new images for you to admire and use if you will help me network Tigger. He still is longing for his very own permanent home. Thank you to all who continue to SHARE, Re Post and Tweet about Tigger.

I have another adult rescue to share with you…a woofie….who is in great need…but that is for later…we are still working on his story…you are going to want to network him for sure…trust me…just like Tigger…hard to imagine no one wants him…catch you later with breaking news…purrs, Savvy
