Hi (Furry)furriends ❤
Today
is a very special day…
…and I want to
draw awareness
on this heartfelt event…
…too…
by telling you a true story…
about an elderly catlady…
that made herself at home
at a shelter….
because she had
no home…
anywhere else…
…she could walk
in and out…
…freely…
and always came back
to hang around
the volunteers…
…and take a nap…
…she felt at home there…
and lived there for more than
10 years…
…already…
…but…
two years ago…
they closed the shelter…
because the government
didn’t want to
pay for a
renovation on the shelter…
…so that meant….
that the Lady Cat
and all the other animals
that lived there…
had to be moved
to another shelter…
which was possible…
except for the old Lady Cat…
because she didn’t lived there…
…officially…
…they only gave her
two options…
1. to kill or
2. not to kill!
…and they gave her time
until the shelter
would close…
but no-one came for her…
no-one wanted her…
because she was to old…
and Granny and I
were purraying
that there would be
someone out there
to let her in…
because we couldn’t…
…it’s because of me…
and on the last day…
one of the volunteers said…
“I’ll take her home with me…”
because she felt so sorry for
the Lady Cat…
That was a relief…
we were so
T H A N K F U L
that the Lady Cat
found her furrever home…
…after all…
and it makes me realize…
how lucky I am…
to have a furrever home…
with Granny and Grandpaw…
who adopted me too…
…in a way…
…so I’m
T H A N K F U L
for that too…
…and what I have
I wish for everybody else too…
…everyone deserves
a home…
a bed to sleep in…
…on…under…next to…
…whatever…
drink…eat…treats…
and a loving (furr)family…
there are a lot of animals…
that are waiting
for a furrever home…
…we support the vision
of a no-kill-polici…
…but there are still
shelters who are not…
…so how about
to open your heart
and make someone
HAPPY
and
T H A N K F U L
…who is waiting a long time
just for
someone like…
…YOU…
…and enjoy what you
can give each other…
W E D E S E R V E I T !

I could not stand by and watch a cat be killed. I would take them home. We did, in fact, with Dusty, who we loved for nearly two years before he passed away.
Like you are are thankful for what we have, every day.

I’m glad that the lady cat found a home. All kitties need a good home. I’ve been volunteering at a no kill shelter for a few years now and a lot of the cats and dogs are adopted from kill shelters and placed in this animal friendly shelter. The animals are cared for forever by the friendly volunteers and staff there.

That’s so good to hear, Alexis. Thank you for your input, you just made our day 🙂 Double Pawkiss 🙂 ❤

Oh, no…that’s to bad, little Purrince! Will send Good Luck Pawkisses to all the kitties, to find a furrever home soon ❤ ❤ ❤ Double Pawkisses right back at you and your sweet LadyMum 🙂 ❤
Sep 30, 2017 @ 03:07:37
You know Binky, everyone around here gets there best friends from a shelter. I don’t even know if there are breeders in this town. I guess there are but we wouldn’t know. We are for shelters period! We only have one shelter in this town that I am aware of. We agree with you that every pet deserves a furever home.
Loves,
Shoko and Kali
Sep 30, 2017 @ 09:44:21
That is great, Shoko and Kali! We find the most breeders on the internet, selling kitties and doggies from mills.. really pawful… 😦 We’re glad that we have a lot of purrivate shelters in the envrionment, to make sure that they maintain the policy of a no kill shelter 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend to the both of you 🙂 ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 19:44:17
I like stories with happy endings.
Sep 30, 2017 @ 09:45:30

I was so worried as I read down and then relieved when the lady cat got a home.
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:34:36
She was very lucky, Draliman. We found it unbelievable that the new shelter didn’t allowed her to live there. They didn’t think in solutions, but would have chosen the easiest way *shakes head*…it’s inhumanly… Extra Pawkisses for you 🙂 ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 06:25:49
We’ve missed your beautiful face Binky – and your Granny’s gorgeous photography. I’m glad there was a happy ending for you and Lady Cat. It’s sad that not every story ends that way.
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:40:14
So glad to see you too, MommaKat and BearCat. We think of you a lot ❤ Let's purray that the people wake up by the stories to make a better choise. Double Pawkisses for you two 🙂 ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 04:33:24
Thank goodness that scary story had a happy ending. Whew! #rescuerocks
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:47:17
We were so happy about that, Cupcake. Unbelievable how unhumanly this situation was, still can’t believe it *shakes head* Double Pawkiss for you 🙂 ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 04:27:30
Beautiful post Binky. I wish all kitties could have forever homes. Thank you for the words of comfort you left on my blog for the loss of my beloved Phoebe. XO
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:48:28
You’re very welcome, miss Ellen. I wish I could have done more for you ❤ Double Pawkiss 🙂 ❤ ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 03:44:01
VIP—very important post. I pray that every cat will someday have a home. I was born on the street and spent hard time in 2 shelters. My heart goes out to any cat that has to spend their entire life there. You’re so like me that I’ll never let TW have another cat.
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:51:02
I’m so glad that you have found a furrever home, CK. Every animal deserves a furrever home…wish I could save them all ❤ Extra Double Pawkisses for you 🙂 ❤ ❤
Sep 29, 2017 @ 02:56:22
Aww this is such a heartfelt post! I am so glad it ended on a happy note. Yes, I wish too that all strays find a good home and you are most blessed to have a loving granny and grandpaw! You and your loving parents need great big Garfield hugs!! Enjoy your weekend with them!!
Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:55:53
I’m very Thankful to have them, Garfield 🙂 Thank you for your big hugs! Extra Double Pawkisses for you 🙂 ❤

Sep 29, 2017 @ 08:56:36
That would be great, Wally, Ernie and Zoey 🙂 Extra Doubles Pawkisses to you all 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 23:27:38
Thank you Binky! I came from a shelter too and I am so happy! I have a tunnel to run through, nip toys, a whirly gig butterfly toy that my mommy turns on for me. I have many windows to look out to watch the birdies and squirrels that my human sister in law feeds and I even have an old dog to torment! I hope every kitty and doggy and other animals can find as good of a furever home as I got. All I did is talk to my new mommy at the shelter and she knew I was the one. Sigh… I am so happy 🙂
Sep 29, 2017 @ 09:00:58
And I’m so happy for you too, purrincess. We all deserve a furrever home and you feel when it clicks 😀 We’re also happy that you have a Place now on wordpress and we couldn’t wait to follow you…YEEHAW 😀 Double Pawkisses to you my furriends 🙂 ❤
Sep 30, 2017 @ 22:19:33
I haven’t found the time learn to set it up yet, alas! Mommy just had surgery on her arm so is not up to much except playing with me lately. I love this community and will let all you kitties know when i learn to do things on it. I’m not even sure how to set up a header. I guess I gotta check out some you-tube learning sires. Any recommendations?
Oct 02, 2017 @ 10:46:03
When you are on the Dashboard, you click on Appearance and then you see a submenu which says Header among others…and then it opens your Theme where you can change everything the way you want to. When I don’t know anything I look for the support site of WordPress. They explain everything 😀 But take it easy, because your mom has to recover first, that’s more impawtant than a stoopid Header 😉 Healing Pawkisses are on the way ❤ ❤ ❤
Oct 02, 2017 @ 13:13:26
Thanks for the tips! Much appreciated. I know my mommy is hurting so I’ll let her rest some!
Sep 28, 2017 @ 22:07:24
These wastes of air, water and rations that make decisions to close shelters, and then gleefully apply the letter of the law regarding a ‘non-official’ resident, need to be thrown out on the street and see how THEY like it!
Sep 29, 2017 @ 10:40:09
We totally agree, Col. It’s unhumanly…and then to think, that we are contributor of Animal Protection…grrr…. Double Pawkisses 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 21:19:28
So glad that lady took the older cat home. That is something to be very thankful for, for sure. The word needs to get out about the shelters and the deal about spaying and neutering all the pets.
Sep 29, 2017 @ 10:40:55
Exactly, Marg! Extra Pawkisses for you 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 20:50:32

Sep 28, 2017 @ 20:28:25
Oh goodness, I was so worried reading this that Lady Cat wouldn’t find a home. Very grateful to that kind-hearted volunteer!
Sep 30, 2017 @ 09:50:28
Yeah! That was one happy ending and we wish that luck for everyone else too 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 19:39:26
Such a beautiful story – thank goodness it worked out for the Lady Cat ! And those of us who have rescue kitties (and dogs) are so thankful for them too ! Wish we could save them all !
Sep 30, 2017 @ 09:53:21
We wish for that too, Mary 🙂 Thank you for your input ❤ Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 19:31:31
Bless the shelter lady who took in the old cat lady. And your grandparents for rescuing you. And everyone else who helps free a cat, a dog, a horse, anyone in need. Those are the angels who walk among us. ❤
Sep 30, 2017 @ 09:54:09
They truly are, Paulette ❤ Thanks for your input 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤

Sep 30, 2017 @ 10:07:20
That would be pawsome, Phenny and humanly…or better said animally 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂 ❤
Sep 28, 2017 @ 18:01:18
