Hello, hello, hello…Savannah here!!! my autobiography

My First Memories

So, OK.  This is what I was told, not what I remember…cuz’ I kinda can’t remember stuff until I was finally saved from the county shelter by Tammy and taken to Kitty Corner…so here is what I was told and I have added the little bit I kinda remember…mostly stuff about how I was feeling…

Intake date – 11/30/10 – night drop at the Martinez shelter. Came in as a stray…

    • If  I could’a cried I would have.  OMG…I am in a cage, someone must have trapped me or maybe my last family just couldn’t keep me and so decided to drop me here.
    • First thoughts…thank you whoever you were that you dropped me at the Martinez shelter and not on the side of the road!!!    Whew!  First missed bullet!
    • Oh dear… I am so afraid

I was at the shelter till December 22, 2010– then was taken to Pittsburg Petsmart and then I was brought back to the shelter on January 20th 2011 for a cage break…

    • Oooohhhh…I am so scared…what is going to happen to me…
    • Does anyone want me…and what did I do wrong…I am so sorry if I did something wrong… please forgive me
    • And…I so totally know the Martinez Shelter and Petsmart were really trying to       help me—really—they were totally kind…it was all just so scary

Now I have had a cage break—that means I was allowed to be out of a small cage and given a tad more space then taken to Concord Petsmart January 31, 2011

Then…I had to go back to the shelter on Feb 3rd 2011 cuz’ I was showing signs of depression…then I caught a bad cold—called a URI.

I know the shelter was ready to, well….you know what…ummm, ahhhh, put me to sleep forever cuz’ nobody wanted me…I was so withdrawn, hiding in the back of my cage…shivered a lot out of fear I guess…I don’t know…sigh…

Ok, I’m gonna stop for now—I am getting kinda sad and just like humans, we cats have forgotten memories and writing about this stuff is sorta bringing back some of those memories…so I’m gonna go find my Dad or Mom and hang with them right now…I need some pets and maybe a little play time too.

So, TTFN, Savannah

HIYA! Savannah here!

Well, here goes. Me and my human Mom are going to start my blog this week. I am writing my autobiography, at least as much of it as I can remember or others can help me recall.  Great to have friends who help like that, huh?!

So, my idea is to share with whoever reads my posts what I know about my life. First, in case you couldn’t figure it out–I am an adult female cat.  I have been forever rescued from a shelter, well, actually from two shelters I guess–but more on that later.

I just want to get this first post under my paws, so to speak, and then I will get kinda more organized.  Mom and I are just launching this and we are sorta nervous. So , tomorrow I will start talking about what I have been up to since I was dropped off at our county animal shelter’s night drop box–yep–animal shelters have places folks can drop their pets off at night. That’s what happened to me. Not sure if I was a stray or if my family just didn’t want me anymore. I can’t remember. Everything before that night in December, 2010 is a blur.

Hope you check back in tomorrow.  I am going to work really hard to get a new post every few days at first, then probably kick back and do it about once or twice a week. I am getting pretty busy now that I am learning how much space I have to live in now–whew!  Big house and wait ’til you hear–we have bird feeders I get to watch and even squirrels eat right on our deck!  Woo hoo!  Love my forever home!  Catch’ya later, Savannah
