New Residents in my Garage!

Hi Everyone!

As I said in my last post, we have tons of cats needing homes. So many in fact that we've had to shuffle cats and kittens around foster homes to make room for others. So the kittens and mama cat that have been living in my garage for the last weeks have finally been moved to their permanent foster home (Thanks Melissa)! New residents have made my garage their home, I'd like to introduce Roscoe and Sasha.

As I write this I am sitting on one of their cat beds in the garage. Roscoe has been inching towards me every time I look down to type something. He is shy, but I can tell he is dying for affection. He is sitting so proudly watching me type, his tail wrapped around his large body. He is so handsome, I can't wait for someone to meet him and fall in love with his charm and looks!


Sasha on the other hand, has clung to me since she got here. She is ultra affectionate.  At the moment she is climbing all over me and my laptop (it almost seems she's trying to see what I'm saying about her on here! haha). She is constantly purring and always looking for affection. I have no doubt someone will meet her and instantly fall in love!

My only concern for these two cats is with so many kittens in the rescue, the full grown cats are overshadowed =( . Although these cats are both under a year old, a tiny kitten that can fit in the palm of your hand often wins over an adopters heart. And although I am very happy when a kitten gets adopted, I will be thrilled when someone opens up their heart and home to these two full grown cats. So please spread the word about these two wonderful feline companions, because they deserve a home! They are both sterilized, have received their vaccinations and have had a flea treatment.  What more can you ask for in a cat? :)

Thank you for passing the word on,

Emily

It's raining cats!

Hi Everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for my lengthy absence. I do often have ideas for blogging throughout my daily routines, however, when it comes down to sitting down and typing it all up.... that is where the idea ends.

The rescue on the other hand, is blossoming!.... into a cat rescue that is. When Samantha and I first decided to start our own rescue we had agreed we would stick to dogs. Somewhere down the road something must have changed because at the moment we have exactly sixteen cats looking for a home and... 4 dogs. Why so many cats you may ask? I think this explains it perfectly:


I can't stress this enough: Please Spay and Neuter your pets!!! If you're going to have an outdoor cat, there is no way of explaining an intact animal. By doing so, you are producing hundreds of kittens destined to a life outdoors (that is if they even make it past a few months of age). Cats frozen to death, turned into roadkill, catching preventable viruses or gassed to death is exactly what you are contributing to the world if you don't spay and neuter your pets.

An indoor cat SHOULD also be sterilized. How many indoor cats escape every year? Even if it is just for an afternoon, or one night. An unsterilized indoor cat CAN and WILL mate if given the opportunity. So PLEASE for the love of animals, sterilize your cats!

Here are some kittens who got lucky and were picked up by kind people and brought into our rescue.


Unfortunately, these are only a few of the cats/kittens we have in our rescue at the moment. Please share these pictures and information as much as possible so we can get these cats great homes!

More to come,

Emily
