Transport Day for Mom and Itty Bitties

Saturday was a ten-hour travel day.  Here’s what I got out of the deal.  I spent the entire day with Younger Daughter who had the day off and was able to go with me.  I turned over FIVE felines to someone I trust.  Because of this person, I was able to take this group of five into my world and out of the weather and the dangers of trying to survive on their own.  I got to see and visit with (if only briefly) this person who is my friend.  (And she brought me delicious cinnamon bread.)  I have the gigantic satisfaction of knowing that Mom Cat and four itty bitties are on their way to real homes - never to struggle and suffer on their own, never to become part of the cycle of massive reproduction.  Ten hours of travel worth it?  You bet!

Jeanne of Random Felines was the other half of this transport, and the safe haven for Mom Cat and kittens.  What did she get out of the deal?  She got to spend TEN hours on the road, too.  She took in five fosters on top of what she already has.  They will be in her care until they go to the shelter she has in mind.  What Jeanne basically did was to give up a Saturday for me and for five feline lives.  I am completely maxed out in my cathouse.  I couldn’t have left mom and babies out there to fend for themselves.  And I had NO PLACE to permanently keep this group.  Jeanne literally came to my rescue.  How do you thank someone for something like that? 

Now what we’re ALL hoping you will do is to play The Name Game.  For a very small donation you can offer names for these kittens, their mom, and three foster puppies I have in my kennel right now.  You can learn all about The Name Game by clicking here.   Help us name the puppies and kittens (and Mom Cat, too) and help me keep helping the homeless while you play.  My sincere desire is this.  By month’s end, I will have the extra in Shiloh’s chip-in (which includes the donations from The Name Game), the donations that came in via Andrea’s FUNdraiser, and the funds I hope come in through the Fourth Winnie’s Wish Walkway brick event.  I should be well set up to get through the Winter - pay for Shiloh’s surgery, for the neuters and for the spays still to come, continue to give the kitten vaccination series to NINE kittens, and still have money to use for food, food, food, and litter, litter, litter.  THANK YOU to everybody who is helping out this rescue with toy purchases, contributions to Shiloh’s surgery, and donations to play The Name Game.  Anybody who wants a brick this time around - that event will begin THIS Wednesday.  And for the rest of this month, I will be WISHING for forever homes for my Winnie’s Wish kitties.

Here are the pictures from Saturday.

Ready to load and go.

During a quick stop for mom to come out and eat, babies started spilling out.

Mom, cozy in her travel setting

Have a great day!

This post made my Monday happy. Mom looks content and in some way like she knows she is going somewhere safe. Cat knowledge of the third kind. So glad that the transport went off well. Good things are looking up for a better month. Please - if you can adopt- take a Gray Girl of a chubby puppy - if a grown cat is your cup of cat nip tea take Frosting who needs a loving home. Look in the side bar and take your pick - All need a forever home. HAVE A HAPPY DAY---Ginn & The Fur Family love the pictures --

What did I get out of it?? A LOT of cuteness....I am in love with the itty bitties. Though the stinky bloodhounds were always an added bonus (wow - my car STILL smells bad....)

[Mindy Slimmer]

Seriously...we need to push for Frosting to get the next forever home. She is a lovey and needs to be someone's heart cat. Maybe we should focus on one cat each month...the "Lonely Hearts Club"...that's what the local humane society where I live calls their adult cats looking for a home.
Frosting is such a sweetheart...definently she needs to be the next adult in a home.
Much Love,
Mindy :)

Wow, long trip for both of you! But wow, what a relief that those kitties will have a chance! No living outdoors thanks to Chrystal, no cramped living in the cat house thanks to Jeanne! You both rock!

Yes, please, Adopt!!! Frosting for sure needs a home, so do the rest of them! So many kitties waiting for their forever home! Please, tell everyone you know, share the link, talk to them, tell them which kitty you think would fit their life, would be their heart kitty!

Bricks wednesday! Whoo hoo! Be thinking of what you want on yours!
Donations! welcome any time!
Books! Oh yeah, you know you want it! And if you already have it, think about gifts!
Fundraiser? Yes, you can still get in on it, even though it's not being pushed any longer, I still have toys!
Adoptions! See above, MOL, we can use more more more!

You and Jeanne are just awesome. So glad that transport day went so well (even though it was so long!).

And those FUNdraiser toys are PAWSOME!! Just ask the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde (up by two orphans or I'd be adopting myself!)!! We got one and then someone donated one to us!! Wowser!! Yay for a great transport day!
