Happy 9th Purrthday & Gotcha Day Molly and Shadow

We has been wif the mom for 9 years! We dun remember much how we started but the mom tells us, we were wee kittens that was dumped outside in the cold with our mom cat. Shadow was the first to go home with the mom, as he was sickly and almost dead. I (Molly) couldnt be caught for a few days acuz I out smarted the mom every time she tried to get me. Finally, I let her catch me, but not without a scratch to her face first. When I was reunited with Shadow, I was so happy, I gave him baths and licks and purred up a storm.

I would never change a fing with being caught acuz I do love my beans so much. Happy Gotcha Purrthday Shadow, Im so glad you are my brofur!

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Troo!

We all love yoo!

Frootbat Friday with Shana

Frootbats I has em!

Wordless Wednesday w/ Trooder

Saturday Matinee

So the mom fell in love wif dis kitten Bobbi.


She fell so much in love wif Bobbi that she offered to foster her acuz Bobbi was weak and getting sick at the shelter. The shelter did all they could for Bobbi but as one volunteer wrote "her frail body couldn't contain her soaring spirit". Poor Bobbi passed away before the mom was able to have her here in our home. So she is looking forward to fostering another kitten or two or three (ok the mom yoo is out of control, slow down a bit) from Grayson Humane Society. Grayson is over full and needs to get fosters or adopters soon or they may have to resort to somefin they dont want to fink about ::whispers:: euthanizing. Please help if you can? Fanks!!

Hai Kittehs, Molly here! I has sooooo much to Tattle tell yoo today!!

Dis is Hailey wif "her" woofie, her name is Shana the INTROODER!

Shana is a rescue Boston Terrier.
She has had several homes and been back and forth between foster home.Yoo know what we dun like? Her eattin our NOMS! Yes, she eats our CAT fud.
Um yer a woofie, yoo is s'pose to eat stinky woofie fud.

From the Mom, Laure -
Shana is adjusting well to home life. She is about 4 or 5 years old and has never had a real stable forever home life. We intend to treat her just like our other furry kids - with love, respect and compassion. And it is true, Shana will not eat dog food, just Meow Mix, but we are working on that bad habit. Bit by bit, we have gotten her to eat some wet dog food, next will be dry. She doesn't bug the cats and really, they don't seem to blink twice around her. Welcome Home Shana Girl!

Spicey - lost kitty in Australia

Please EMAIL me at ttggrrl AT gmail DOT com if you have any info (we can forward the information to his owner) or contact Spicey's bean on FACEBOOK.

SPICEY the 2 year old Abyssinian male, missing from Forest Hill NSW (8km out of Wagga Wagga) from Saturday 14th May. Cinnamon/Ginger colour, with black collar and blue metal tag with name/number on. Loud insistent meow, very friendly, can be a little skittish and hard to catch. Really likes high spots and small spaces.

Spicey's bean misses him alot and wants him home. Please pass the word out about him and if you live in this area keep an eye out, surely Spicey is missing his home too!

Spicey's bean says " I know this group will feel my pain - my 2 year old Cinnamon Aby "Spicey" disappeared on Saturday morning last week and not been seen since. I live in hope he might come back, but I am not confident in that sadly. He last ate (with me) on Friday night, and I let him out for his morning wander - which he's usually out for about an hour and then scratching to come in again and see me, but this time no jingle of collar or scratching and meowing heard. It's now Tuesday morning. I'm very sad."

RUMOURS of animals being Euthanized - NOT TRUE

Via - Japan Earthquake Animal and Rescue

Here's an official report from The Emergency Disaster Animal Relief Headquarters & it's translation (Thanks to The Boasen's):

東日本大震災において、被災地の保健所で収容された犬や猫が殺処分されているというデマが出回っている、と聞きましたのでお知らせいたします。

動物のことにかぎらず、現地への連絡もまだままならない状態で不安に駆られる気持ちもわかりますが、ど...うぞ冷静にお願いいたします。

災害が発生したときは、普段の保健所の「迷子の犬や負傷猫を収容し、公示期間に飼い主が判明しなかった場合殺処分」という業務は停止します。

被災犬・猫は、緊急災害時動物救援本部で保護や管理がなされ、殺処分されることはありません。

これは阪神大震災以後に決められたことで、今までに被災犬・猫に殺処分が行われたことはありません。

緊急災害時動物救援本部は3/17現在、拠点の設置やフードの配送手配など行っているようですが、ガソリンの確保が出来なかったりなどでなかなか進まないようです。

不安に駆られてガソリンの買占めなど行うことは、救援物資の現地への配送を止めることになります。

どうぞ冷静にお願いいたします。

緊急災害時動物救援本部よりのお知らせです。

In the aftermath of the great earthquake disaster of eastern Japan, after hearing a false rumor circulating that dogs and cats housed in animal shelters in the disaster area are being euthanized, we make the following announcement.

We understand that there is a great deal of anxiety not just about animals, but also about the inability to make contact with affected areas, and we ask that you please remain calm. Upon the occurrence of this disaster, the usual protocol for euthanizing lost dogs and cats that go unclaimed following a certain notification period has been suspended.

At the Emergency Disaster Animal Relief Headquarters, relief and management is underway such that cats and dogs affected by the disaster will not be euthanized. This is in accordance with a decision made following the Great Hanshin Earthquake that euthanasia of disaster stricken dogs and cats is not undergone, a decision which is still in effect today.

Presently, on March 17th at the Emergency Disaster Animal Relief Headquarters, base establishment and food delivery arrangements appear to be underway, but the inability to secure gasoline is making progress difficult. Fear driven purchase and stockpiling of gasoline will prevent relief supplies from reaching affected areas. We ask everyone again to please remain calm.

This concludes the announcement by the Emergency Disaster Animal Relief Headquarters.

NOTE: We gots a pawfect prize package in the mail on Friday from KC and Nikita, we'll show you Monday what we gots!

Cat Island (Tashirojima) Japan

We knew nothing of Cat Island Japan, until the tsunami hit. Of course, us kittehs and the mom went and searched the interwebs high and low (just like many others) to see if any news had of the fate of this tiny fishing island, located near the epicenter. While there is no official news, there has been buzz from other places - which gives us hope! We is sendin off lots of hard purrs to Bast fer dem furries and non furries in Japan.

Each video is apx 10 minutes long, but it shows you some great insight to the Island.



Part 2



A lot of speculation as to the fate of Cat Island, is buzzing around everywhere. World Vets are getting veterinary supplies and a first responder team ready to deploy to Japan. You can find World Vets on Facebook as well.

From a commenter on The Conscious Cat:

"I have a friend in Japan who managed to get in touch with people who knew about Tashirojima – people and cats are said to be okay, but there was a lot of building damage and they need bare necessities for humans and cat food… The Japanese organizations said they couldn’t help at the moment (my friend was very frustrated) and he’s checking for some other foreign organisations which maybe could help. He also found out that a Japanese defence forces’ helicopter landed there this afternoon. So that’s hopeful. Lots of volunteers are going to be needed there to help rebuild the island."

UPDATE:

Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support (via facebook)

Just to give everyone an update on Tashirojima, the cat island. The people and cats are safe but short of food. A volunteer looked into transporting food by boat, but the is too much debris in the water. A helicopter is the only way. The army will probably get a helicopter ready soon so we are looking into the possibility of asking them to take cat food too.

This picture is via Pet Captain - A photo that was taken by NASA on March 12^th shows Cat Island above water level. (The red arrow is pointing to Cat Island)
