Savannah's Paw Tracks

Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Thursday Purrsday…

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I didn’t have full use of Mom’s brain or her fingers today…she had a little quick procedure, like she does once a year, to get her lower back some help. So she was not totally with it today…na’mean??

So we had a little chat in bed this afternoon…and we both decide I just can’t pass on doing a little short something for Pepi Smart Dog’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

My first thankful is for the marvelous song Miss Cat Forsley wrote, just for ME! Last year just about this time…in case you missed it….here it is again…

…some of you may not know but December 9th marks the date, in 2011, that Mom Linda and Dad Peter brought me home to foster me…I was a very very scared, timid cat. I did not even know how to play and did not trust people at all.

…I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos of things that gave me so much pleasure and courage in my first weeks and then couple of months in what became my furrever castle…

…these are mostly from my first few weeks…(hover over photo to see captions or click on one to view as slideshow with captions)

…then some over next couple of months…remember…Mom and Dad were told when they took me to foster…”you don’t need any toys for Savannah, she never plays...”

You can click HERE or on the BADGE to go join and to meet some new furriends…and you have ALL week to add your fave post.

This Tuxie Is Pawing It Forward…Will You?

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This is going to be soooo good

This is going to be soooo good

I am excited to be doing a Tuxie Tuesday post…and especially because it is another one of my Paw It Forward Projects!  As my pal Nissy says…Yoo Hoo!!…YOO!! HOO!!

You all know I am a GREAT BIG SUPPORTER of all things “animal rescue”…and especially when it is for those smaller, hard working 501 3c’s like my former shelter rescue, Contra Costa Humane  Society, who do so very, very much with so very , very little when it comes to funding AND to real paid staff…so many do it all as volunteers.

Pawsome I say, simply PAWSOME!

I am going to ask for votes…yeah, yeah…I know, I know…voting is not the best way to select the most deserving for many things…but it’s the way the peeps do stuff mostly.  I am asking for you to consider committing the next ten days of your peeps’ fingers to “hitting the ENTER” key to vote for a deserving and new group in Nova Scotia who are trying to diminish the over population of cats in their community…4 paws at a time…and they are doing it in a very helpful way…just watch the video and you will understand.

OK..now you ask “WHO is Emily’s Place?”…good question…and I, as always, have the answer…umm…well, at least Nissy does…here is what he had to say on his post on Sunday…”They help other peeps get their kitties spayed and neutered.  Sometimes peeps need help payin’ for the operation.  Well, Emily’s Place helps them do that.  Sometimes peeps need help gettin’ their kitties to the doctor to have the operation.   Well, Emily’s Place helps ‘em do that, too.  They do whatever it takes to help the peeps in their community help the kitties.”

They deserve to have all of us help them ‘cuz they probably don’t have a kabillion or so Face Book followers who will consistently vote, day in and day out…let’s get to helping the little guys who do great work.

…be sure to take a look at their video…

OK THIS is how you help THEM get the funding to carry on this awesome Canadian good work :-

  • Click Through here.
  • Register (super simple either FB or email – we don’t do this very often, but after checking them out and seeing their reputation was superb…and…knowing Emily’s Place could win a ton of green papers…we signed up!).
  • Go back EACH DAY and Vote Again for ONLY 10 WHOLE DAYS!  You DO NOT have to do this for like a month or whatnot…easy peasy
  • Spread the Word to EVERYONE. The power of the PAW is with us for Emily’s!

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

What a great time we had last week.  My former rescue, Contra Costa Humane Society, MOVED!!!

And that is my DAD PETER right back there snuggling and reassuring one of the NINE resident kitties…making sure she knows that  this move will be PAWSOME for them.  Thank Ceiling Cat that we only have nine residents at this time.

We have had several adoptions lately…and that means we had fewer than normal to move.…whew!

Oh…what did you, my readers,  ask???…Why did they move??…well…errrrr…ummmm…let me see…ahhhhh…*whispers to Mom Linda and Dad Peter…what is the ‘correct ‘ answer*…

Mom Linda here…”Savvy…the correct answer is that the lease agreement changed…greatly…and we are a small non-profit rescue and we had to move so that we can continue to help other adult cats like you, Savannah,…and woofies too”

Ohhhh…thanks Mom…can we show some photos???…”Sure Savvy…”…(remember to CLICK to bigify and hover your cursor over each photo to see the full caption)

…the cats arrival at their new home…

I will have tons more to share as we get our new place all spruced up…but remember…Contra Costa Humane Society is one of the SIX shelters selected as recipients of this year’s Santa Paws Drive

…you can CLICK ON THE BADGE to transport over to the Santa Paws’ site to take a look at all the recipients…and learn what your contribution will mean to them…
