The Life and Times…of An Adult Cat Rescue!!!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Happy tails to mew, until we meow again.

Happy tails to woo, keep smilin’ until then.
Who cares about clouds if we’re altogether?
Just sing a song that brings furramilies together.

Happy tails to you, ’till we meow again.

Our tails are happy ones,
All of them are true.
It’s the way we Paw It Forward,
Here’s some happy ones for you.

Bet’cha I have your attention…right??!!

Here is a totally PAWSOME Happy Tail Cat Rescue…BEFORE…NOW…~~TAILS~~ TALE..

Remember this incredible Maine Coon Cat, at least from appearance…click HERE to read his death sentence when tested as a stray cat…for FeLV…

I just know you will recall his amazing polydactyl paws..

Mom L first met him in July and witnessed his positive FeLV test result…we reported him to my readers and wept for him as he was trapped, as a stray, and found to be so loving and gentle. Then, this apparent terrible death sentence.

But WAIT! Is FeLV truly a death sentence for cats??

I am not an expert by any means, but I do know that many homes have accepted FeLV cats to enable them to live out their lives. I named him “Mister” and he was healthy, and active. But…we never heard about his fate.

And THEN…Mom L worked another CC4C ( Community Concern For Cats) spay/neuter clinic…and lo and behold…Mister’s foster/rescuer Mom brought some adult cats for spay/neuter. Mom L, breathing rapidly, asked the question…”What happened to Mister?”…

APAWS…APAWS

Mister has been ADOPTED!!! He was adopted into a home in the north bay area of San Francisco Bay. His amazing new human guardians accepted him without reserve…he is an only cat…living forever inside…with two WOOFIE siblings!!

Mister now grooms the woofies and THEY GROOM HIM!!!…doesn’t get a lot better than that. Mister is Safe, and at HOME!

My request of anyone reading this post…whether you are a cat or woofie blog…PLEASE SHARE SHARE SHARE to you readers that FeLV positive does not ALWAYS mean the cat has no opportunity to live a life, as long as they are blessed by Ceiling Cat, of love and kindness.

My readers all know this…but YOUR readers may NOT know this…that is my reason for requesting that you share this post. None other…just that sharing this post might give some human out there the motivation to invite a cat, testing positive for FeLV, in to their home for the length of that cat’s life…

Truly a blessing from Ceiling Cat…if you will share.

Paw Pats, Savannah

No More Kittens: Thursday Purrsday

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Last Friday Mom L was gone most of the day and she came home smellin’ just a bit as though she might have been cheatin’ on me and The Kid Sage…tsk, tsk, tsk…

You have been cheating!!

We both had several good sniffs of her shoes before she wiped them off.

She was off helping do something unmentionable to some very sweet unsuspecting kittens who were adopted during the famously successful Maddie’s Adoption Event in June.(click here to read about it)

I have collected evidence of who Mom L was helping out…and they were at that smelly icky place where the V-E-T does ‘you know what’ to get our temp reading. You all know ‘where’ I mean.

The Evidence…

The back story to this special CC4C spay/neuter clinic is all about the kittens that were adopted during Maddie’s Adoption Day. These little kittens had to weight at least 2+ pounds…and for a rescue to receive the Maddie’s reimbursement for spay/neuter…those adopted during the event must have this procedure within about 30 days.

Maddie’s Fund is committed to working toward a “No Kill USA” and they are making a difference.

CC4C has a pawsome partner in Dr Linda Miller, Cat Hospital of Clayton who provides her surgery for these clinics and Dr Josie Thompson, my former now retired DVM, who donates her expertise to ensure that CC4C continues to make progress on ….

NO MORE KITTENS

We all luvluvluv kittens…however…all these kittens which CC4C rescues are born to mostly feral/stay Mom Cats and Dad Cats. The solution to reducing so many kittens/cats being killed in shelters across the USA is to do everything a community can do to aggressively attack TNR for all feral populations.

Mom L and I are so very humbled to be a very small part in this effort…can I ask that you…my readers…consider ways that you might also become actively engaged in making a NO KILL USA possible???
