Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

A Friday Meme Special

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Mom L and I didn’t have much time to get my Friday Memes goin’ again, but just for all of you…I selected this very special photo for my one AND ONLY  Friday Meme!

You can guess that this young lioness was extremely distraught to learn that after her very large meal, there would be NO dessert! Seriously!! What kit-kat doesn’t want a bit of something tasty and special before napping on a full tummy? Would you wanna go without??

Let me know in comments what you like to have after your tummy is full. And purrs to all who visited my bloggy today. I cannot guarantee consistency for a while, but I do know I am gonna be back in your reads soon. Mom L is lookin’ for some kind’a “writing coach” for us, whatever that means. So maybe we will be able to tell all my stories about what we have been doing to rescue lots of kitties in the last few months. There are stories to share, but not easy to write.

I Am Back #RememberMeThursday

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Hey my readers!! I can’t say for sure that I am back on my regular schedule for Mondays and  Fridays, but can say I am back TODAY!!

This is  a very special blog post to honor all those animals who have been left behind in shelters across the USA. Left with no loving family and no permanent home, many left to be killed alone in those same shelters.

Today, we all remember those left behind. #RememberMeThursday.

Let me tell you why this day is especially important to me as I try to bring my blog back to my readers. Before Mom L left for her long dreamed of trip to go on an African safari, she and Dad P became overwhelmed by an unsuspected cat hoarding rescue. And they were the humans who took responsibility for managing that rescue. It lasted for at least eight weeks and then has continued because we are fostering two kittens who are the product of that situation.

Katie, found in a dark environment, terrified of humans and running for her life, was caught with a towel! She would not enter a trap in the residence. She was spayed, determined to be about six months old and found to have been recently lactating. Mom L found several deceased new born kittens in a closet, likely several were Katie’s.

Katie has been too scared to stand upright until only recently and then only part of the time. She also appear to have a permanent limp on her right front leg. No telling why.

And then another Mom cat had her kittens outside and Mom L and a pal were able to save three. We now have one of them, Lillian, who was brought in to try to help Katie become more outgoing. Lilly has helped lots.

But then she is a kitten who knew human love from the time she had her eyes open. Not so Katie.

My point is that Katie could easily have been “that” cat that never made it out alive. “That” cat for whom we write these blog posts on Remember Me Thursday. But, thanks to lots of caring cat rescue groups and some wonderful individuals, Katie’s story will not be a sad one.

She and Lilly are here in my castle, being lovingly cared for by Mom L and Dad P. They are bonded, but both can easily be adopted separately. But how can you deny their devotion to one another?

Only time will tell what Katie’s future will be. Lilly will be adopted fast. But Katie, she will need that very special human or human family to be willing to give her time and space to reveal her REAL SELF. Katie’s rescue story is yet to be written. Will you help her write it?

So I thought my readers might just enjoy seeing a couple of recent photos of me and The Kid Sage ( TKS). I know by now you may have forgotten what we look like.

Luvluvluv having Mom L home

And just before Mom L took off for her childhood dream safari…

Ok. I will wait for you, but don’t be gone too long!

Of course TKS had to use a box to make her message clear…don’t be gone long Dad P.

Do I have to ship myself to Africa?

And she has been thrilled to have him back.

Purrsssss….

Thanks lots for all who stop by to say “HIYA!!”

Monday Meowsie News: Update

HIYA!!   SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Hellooooo…to all my readers! I know I have been gone for some time, and that time is going to grow even longer.  We are having two kinds of challenges; Mom L and Dad P are leaving soon for a long anticipated trip to a far away land and we are still facing serious tech problems with our Dell products.

Let me say how much I appreciate each and every one of you who take time to visit my blog, and read it, and then most important to me…leave me a comment, short is fine, to let me know you were with me for a few moments.  I will write several posts about Mom L’s most recent community cat rescue experiences once she is back.

But that will have to wait until she and Dad P are back in early September. TKS and I will be well cared for my our resident house/pet sitter Miss Kandi. She lives with us and cares for us while Mom L and Dad P are gone. Our home is never ever empty.

Hanging out in the warm sun on a lazy day

And The Kid Sage aka TKS was caught by Mom L testing out another box to make sure if she fit she could ship!! Trust me, I had to keep my paws off that button that says SHIP NOW!! MOL!!

What?!! I’m just testing out the size

Please keep a look out for us coming back the second week of September. Mom L and Dad P will not have any cell or wifi while they are gone. We hope they come back to us safe and sound! Oh, and maybe with some photos of our ancestors!!!
