HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Feels so good to Paw It Forward

You are going to want to grab some snacks, a little beverage and pull up your ham-mik…this was a busy rescue weekend!

First, I was out just taking in some fresh air in my vintage race car when I saw someone I knew on the side of the road…Mouses! What a surprise…

Tabbie has been a resident at my former shelter, Kitty Corner, and she has been waiting a long, long time…over a year…to find her furrever home. And there she was, stranded with no ride and only her carrier. Well I was not having any of that, I just packed her into my ride and took her straight to Mom L and Dad P.

We need to get Tabbie to her new home…fast! And she needs to stop off at the Vet to get her boosters and a fresh mani/pedi…can’t go to your furrever home ragged claws!

So we went back to Kitty Corner and of course our wonderful Adoption Manager, Miss Chrissy, had a lot more things for Tabbie to take with her. Tabbie was just so eager she forgot. We loaded up her favorite, small cat tower and a bag of new toys and some canned food and treats. Tabbie took a quick inventory of her things and stopped to let Dad P give her some chin scritches.

Where are my new toys?

Good, the carrier is clean

Awwww…thanks for reassuring me

Tabbie likes to talk to you about everything – the weather, politics, what she ate earlier, the crazy dream she had, you name it! She is a real chatter box…hope her new Mom is ready for some long conversations…just sayin’…

So loaded up…off she goes…

Tabbie was delivered successfully and she made her acquaintance with the resident cat at the front door…that cat didn’t seem to want to chat…so she hurried off to check out the bedroom…

Quiet resident cat

Hmmm…no dust bunnies

Tabbie finally has her furrever home…

Oh yeah…we volunteered to introduce Tabbie and her new Mom to my expert Cat Vet…unfortunately Tabbie will need a dental right off…her new Mom has had cats before; but we still offered give her and Tabbie a ride if they needed it.

Check out the pawsome coffee/tea cup Tabbie’s New Mom gifted us…

The peeps’ work was still not done. They also took Sylvester, a Tuxedo mancat, who is eight years old, to the vet on Friday…he is very ill. And on Saturday after giving Miss Tabbie a ride, Mom L had to take Sylvester to the vet hospital for over the weekend. He is being watched for symptoms of hepatic lipidosis. Many of you know that Mom L and Dad P have LOTS of experience with this dread syndrome having saved Cuzin Leo’s life last year…if you missed it…you can read about some of it here…and there are many more posts following his fight for life and recovery.

Sylvester is a very brave mancat…and he sings the song of his tribe with gusto…we tried hard to embed an audio file but alas…no luck…

We are hopeful for Sylvester as he is still eating on his own…paws crossed…but he has dropped 4 pounds in the last 7 weeks…he was 13 pounds when pulled from the kill shelter…he is at 9 pounds…

Sylvester’s face is very thin now, so please send him healing purrs…he will likely have an ultrasound scheduled ASAP. Sylvester was so brave…

I am proud to have so many opportunities to Paw It Forward…do you have special Paw It Forward stories to share?

Yep…I am a cat…and I can choose to flip around from bed to bed…depending on ~~where the soft blankie is placed~~ my personal preferences.

So I have been changing around…keeps everyone on their ~~toes~~ paws…even The Kid Sage…

Open bed on left of Bird TV

And switcheroo…now on right of Bird TV…

Will You Paw It Forward With Me?: Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

This Paw It Forward Project is truly personal for me

Those of you who have followed me for a couple of years know my joy in being able to reach out with my telepathic powers and bring Mom L and Dad P to find me. If you don’t know my history, click HERE for the beginning…there is lots more but I don’t want to digress from my Paw It Forward post.

Please give a very warm, but quiet, welcome to…

Miss Bunny

Oh my! Are they looking at ME??!!

APAWS APAWS APAWS

I ask for quiet as Miss Bunny and her temerity so resonate with me…and how I felt at Kitty Corner, my former shelter run by Contra Costa Humane Society.

Miss Bunny has been described with great caring by CCHS’s Adoption Manager Miss Chrissy (she was gracious and caring with me to…sigh)…

“If you like easy cats, you probably can’t get one much easier than Bunny. She’s quiet as can be and while she doesn’t necessarily have an adventurous spirit, she’s incredibly sweet and gentle. Bunny adores being petted and will rub all over your hands, purring away, but it takes her some time to feel comfortable in new environments. Bunny had a very hard time in Kitty Corner and hid out while there with the other cats; she’s a very passive girl and that environment was too overwhelming for her. So into our offices she came and while she spends most of her day tucked away in a cozy cubby or under our chairs watching us all go by, when we sit with her and pet her, she instantly melts, belting out her purr song and soliciting more & more pets. In the right quiet, adult household she’ll surely come around and feel more & more comfortable given time. We won’t lie though, it will take her some time to reach that point! In the office she’s in, it took her nearly a month to start coming out into the open where she was exposed. She’d love people to pet her in her safe spots, but being exposed was a frightening thing for her.

Bunny is a tortoiseshell Manx mix – a bobbed tail kitty with a heart and eyes of gold. She’s estimated to have been born in January of 2010 and is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and FeLV/FIV negative. She gets along fine with other cats but is very submissive and so would do best in a home where she can be either an only cat or where there’s another patient, cat-friendly cat who might enjoy teaching Bunny how to play. Bunny’s new home should expect to give her a safe room to call her own for quite some time but allow her the opportunity to explore as she starts feeling more comfortable. She may not ever be a cat who comes out to greet visitors, but with the right person that won’t matter. Bunny just has a very sweet soul and is looking for someone she can trust with all her heart. Give her a chance, some time and plenty of petting and we’ve no doubt she will blossom beautifully!

Please meet Miss Bunny…

And just one more little home made video of Miss Bunny…take note of how fast she comes out to greet Ms. Chrissy…she could do that FOR YOU if you choose to be her forever Guardian….just a thought…really….no pressure, none whatsoever…

I humbly ask that any who read this post…please, please SHARE, SHARE, SHARE…Miss Bunny is very very special…ahem, koff, koff…ahem…like…*shuffling paws*…like me.

She is very timid, fearful…but so very very loving…sigh…like me

Thank you for coming by to visit…anything you can do is very helpful…please take action…we love purrs and prayers…but sharing on FB and Twitter and on you blog is what will help Miss Bunny draw her forever guardians to her.
