My foster kitty Reesie’s Pieces needs your help

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Reesie Pieces, like the candy, is sweet and waiting for her family to take her home to love her forever! Will you help Reesie get her prayers answered?

I am asking my followers to please post my foster kitty, eight month old Reesie’s Pieces aka Reesie on any social media that you use to help me help her find her forever home. Dear Reesie has been with me since September 2022 and she really needs to get into her very own home so’s she can make it hers for her lifetime. But, Reesie is black and sadly, we have had only one inquiry about adopting her. We take her to a Saturday and Sunday adoption site and potential adopters stop by to admire how luxurious her fur is, but then they move along to the kitties that are other colors.

Reesie was born to an abandoned mom cat, who cared for her kittens as best she could, given that she had to constantly search for food for herself and her babies. Reesie was already four months old when trapped. All hissy and spitty. But with patience and kind touches, NOW—Reesie is all kissy and snuggly and cuddly and purrs like a champ!!

Reesie is fully ready to get to her forever home. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and planning on stealing your hearts!!

If anyone is interested in learning more about this darling fluffy little eight-month-old female, contact Mom L aka Linda Rodgers, at rodgerslcr at gmail dot com for more information.

I can’t thank you all enough for helping Reesie get her answer to her prayers for her very own forever home. She is such a fun little girl!

Please feel free to use my video or any photos to help you make a special social media post to promote Reesie’s Pieces.

Friday’s Child

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

“Friday’s child is loving and giving.” Children born on a Friday are thought to be affable, loving, and generous. I think this can also mean that any abandoned kitten that is trapped on Friday is also loving and giving, don’t ya think that outta be right too?

You see, my our nonprofit that Mom L and Dad P manage, Delta View Cats, has incredible volunteers. We do lots of things to try and help humanely manage our city of Pittsburg’s overpopulation of abandoned community cats. We feed about fifty kitties all around our marina and waterfront park. Now this park had a colon of cats numbering about thirty-five in 2017. We have worked to get friendly kitties adopted and now the colony stabilized in 2019 to twelve adult cats. Since 2017 to Spring 2021, no cats nor kittens were abandoned at this park. It was a common dumping ground for over ten years, since about 2005.

Unfortunately, from Spring of 2021 to now, October, 2022, Delta View Cats volunteer colony caretakers/feeders have found forty dumped kittens at this park!!

We feed once a day at this park and our Friday colony caretakers went early before feeding time, intent on trapping this little kitten that was sighted about eight days before. They found she was sleeping in one of our shelters and plotted to catch her on her exit in the early morning using a fishing net!! SUCCESS!!!! Miss Elaine and Mr. Bobby feed on Friday’s so they named this little three pound two ounce girl “Friday”!!

She was skinny and her long furrs were matted and dirty. And boy was she hissy at first. She tried to climb outta her cage and she huddled in a corner.

She met a buddy at station three feeder, Hercules, and he must’a showed her how to survive in this park with raccoons, owls and unkind loose dogs. Miss Elaine and Mr Bobby volunteered to foster little Friday, whom they named after the day of the week that they always feed and it is also the day they were finally successful in snagging her!! YAY FOR FRIDAY!!

She got over being hissy really quickly and Mom L just had to go visit and hold her.

You can see her furrs are not groomed and she has had a weepy eye so she is getting treated with eye drops our retired DVM pal Doc Josie ordered. And she loves to be brushed and groomed and takes her eye med just fine. She is getting dewormed and will soon be weighing in at four pounds!!! WOO HOO!!!

Isn’t she just gorgeous!! Did you notice her incredible white LONG whiskers!

Friday will soon be ready for adoption so please will all my pals share her story on your own social media, ESPECIALLY if you have family and friends living in the San Francisco bay area. If anyone is interested, you can contact Mom L at this email address: infopdvc at gmail dot com.

Keepin’ chilled with TKS

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I don’t know what the weather persons have been doin’ to your temps but they have sure cranked ours up to super hot, hot, hot!! But that doesn’t seem to bother TKS as long as she can keep on makin’ her air biscuits!!

She isn’t quite this chill’axed right now seein’ as how we have yet another hissy kitten in Mom L’s office. Her name is Licorice and Mom L and Dad P took her from her first foster who had her hands full with Licorice’s siblings, Mikki, Baby and Doodle Bug. They are all coming along nicely and love going to their foster to get pets and attention. But Licorice, now called “Reesee” was trapped at an older age and she wasn’t doing anything but hissing and spitting.

Long story short—Mom L and Dad P asked a cat trapper pal to come over and assess Reesee and Miss Lisa put a towel on her and just started to pet and rub her. And Reesee LOVED IT!! She still hisses every time a human walks into the office, but now she just melts when a hand touches her. She has never bitten nor swatted nor used her claws. She reaches up now to give Mom L noise kisses!!

I’ll keep you informed about her progress to move from hissy face to kissy face so’s she can find a forever home!!!
