My ONE year Gotcha Day!

Hai Kitty blogging friends! Today is my ONE year Gotcha Day!! I am so happy to be in my furever home and I love MY mom so much! You can read my story HERE.


These two pictures(above) are when I lived in Leitchfield, Kentucky with the Grayson County Humane Society.

This is my official adoption paper, from N.O.A.H - Nemasket Orphaned Animal Haven,Inc. My mom has it kept in a special place and says I am really special too!

This picture is of me when I first came to my furever home with my Mom. I had icky eyes, sneezes and a runny nose. My mom took care of that for me with warm wet clothes and lots of love. I hate the warm wet clothes though!


This is me NOW! I am a FULL ...... Oh, right, I cant tell you what I weigh yet, I will help do that on Mancat Monday! MOL

Hai Kittehs, what can we say We LUB Wilber!

Its a BIG Gotcha/Purrthday weekend!

Hello our blogging readers. Sir Trooder Lioncourt here. It is a very big weekend here at our house. On Sunday, October 11, I will have been here with MY mom for a whole YEAR! Can you believe it? When I came here I was a mere 11 pounds. Care to guess what I weigh now? The first one to guess right (or close without going over) will get some of our fresh nip and cat mint (yes the mom still has it growing for us)! Leave me a comment below.


Fank yoo Troo! Den on Monday October 12, it will be our 7th Purrthday / Gotcha Day! See, the mom does not remember da exact date dat we was rescued by her's. So in order fer it to be membered easier, she said dat it wud be super special to has that day on Shadow's boy beans birthday!


My boy bean will be 16 whole years old on dat day this year! Can yoo believe we has been wif him almost half his life? We fink its pretty pawsome dat we share his day wif hims!

Cat Rescuer Has Incurable Breast Cancer in AL (Please Read & Paw It Furward)

Yesterday at 9:31pm

Like most rescuers, I receive all sorts of letters & calls from humans full of excuses, not wanting to solve a problem but just "get rid of" their pets. Below is the the most touching email I have ever received. Please if you can, help this dear woman. (I have agreed to take two...not much but one by one we can home these babies & let this Rescuer rescue herself.)

I will happily drive to AL & fill my jeep up with cats & bring back should they have homes in this area.

If all you can send is a prayer or good thought. Paw it furward.
If all you can send is an email lifting her spirits. Paw it furward.
If all you can send is $5 to help feed her cats. Paw it furward.

All we can do on this earth is help one another. We never know when the next outstretched hand or paw might be our own. Paw it furward.

with much love & hope,
rita

i am a rescuer. i have 40ish cats/kittens. some tame, some feral or tame only to me. i am 35 miles south of tuscaloosa al. i have a 100 ft by 100 ft outdoor cat enclosure for them with a 14 by 16 wood sided/tin roof building with heat/air cond. furniture, cat trees in it. they also have a primitive tin building with small loft. alot of the grass is dead so they are in wet dirt when it is wet which i hate. they also have a ramp into a cat door into a bedroom of my doublewide trlr they can come into. i also have about 16 in the house and my hubby is fussing b/c i can not keep it clean.

i love all my cats. i have placed into rescues and/or perm homes over 60 since dec. 08 when i found out i have incurable breast cancer with bone mets.

i am physically unable to pick up litter or bags of cat food over 10 lbs. these eat 4 18lb bags of purina a wk plus can food daily. i used to have to buy 8 bags a wk. i no longer have the money for too much b/c of my medicine and medical bills. when i get into chemo at some point i will be unable to handle all the cats and litter boxes. i use throw away boxes for litter now so i can trash and put out new ones daily. is there anyway you can make room for some of my cats? they are spayed/neutered and had their shots. i worry daily about them.

i can provide at least $100. a month towards their care and if i die will have some of the insurance money sent your way. i have no idea how long i have. i love the fact yours have cat areas and are not caged. here is a site with pics of some enclosures. http://www.just4cats.com thank you so much and hope you can help me in some way. i am very nervous and anxious b/c of the cancer and the unsure future of my cats. Donna Goss 205-239-4498 cell d.goss@mchsi.com

i am on the board of a new small shelter here but they have no luck placing kitties but the pups/dogs all get into rescues. i also have been on other rescues boards. i am not a hoarder but had less than 10 cats when i met a woman who traps ferals or tame and pens them and they get no socializing and end up feral and then she eventually kills them when its time to spay/neuter. i for the last 3 yrs or so brought many she caught here to get them out of that situation, she has no heat/air for them. some have lived in carriers or traps. i move her tame babies as i can but now since i am sick i can no longer help them get away from her. thanks for your time. i hope you can help.

Frootbat Friday

NO FROOTBATS FOR YOO!!!111!!!

Remember how the kittehs Sweetie Pie and Ethan (the kitteh in the picture above) were rescued by our lovely CB furiends? Here is Sweetie Pie, now named Sugar Ray.



On August 8th, this stray cat faced imminent death at a California animal shelter because he was aggressive and too difficult for shelter workers to handle. To adopt him, we had to sign a waiver agreeing not to sue the shelter if the cat injured us. The shelter and their vet claimed the cat was too violent to vaccinate, so he was released without his FVRCP. We suspected he was probably just frightened, and not aggressive, and we were right. After testing positive for FIV, and nearly dying from pneumonia, here's the cat that had shelter workers and vets shaking in their shoes. This video was taken less than 3 weeks after the cat was scheduled to die.

Read more about Sugar Ray and the cat who was rescued with him (an elderly FIV+ cat named Ethan) at http://www.weepaws.org. Both cats are available for adoption to perfect homes - they deserve no less than perfect. Otherwise, we'll be happy to have them spend the rest of their days at Wee Paws, although Sugar Ray's paws are anything but "wee"!

Frootbat Friday (OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY!!)

Oh Hai! Guess what, its been a long nap since I's got to do my Frootbat post! Mom is gettin lazy, I has to agree wif da kittehs. Dun I look a bit upset? I was! I was told "Let's go for a ride, Jake!" so I ran around and around the yard and sat there under da tree waitin. Mom calls me to the car and I ran from the back seat to da window to da front seat to da back! Then we stopped movin .... Uh Mom what the paw?? I thought you said we was goin fer a ride??
