Random Thoughts on Vicious Dogs and Their Irresponsible owner

 

 

Gripe…gripe….

So, I wasn’t gonna make a blog post about this but I am fairly sure the person blocked my texts, soooooooo…….

Yes, this is me griping 100% no denying it.

Every person has their own schedule. Some are up early, others are late night and sleep in. Good for you that you are up at 4:30 am every day. YAY for you. But, not everyone NEEDS to be up that early.

Some of us have been pulling late nights because of the heat. I have been up until 2 am taking advantage of the bright nights we have had. It is also so much cooler after 9 pm and doing things during the day has been impossible.

I have heard how you are supposedly such a great animal owner…….

Please do not even get me going on that one sheesh! Refusing to even bury your own dead cat…… But the latest issue only shows me that you have done nothing but lie and misrepresent things since we met.

The fact that you cannot even handle your own dogs is concerning. Their behavior is atrocious to say the least. I know more than you give me credit for……

I can appreciate dogs need to go out before you go to work….. But as I said, not everyone needs to be awake at 4:30 am….. It is disrespectful to NOT control those out of control dogs. Amanda’s dogs can cut up, play etc and it does NOT cause my dogs to flip shit. My dogs are well behaved and well trained about when to bark and when not to, as are Amanda’s.

Your dogs on the other hand do not even respect the person who feeds them huh? How is that leg by the way? It’s no wonder you are terrified of them going to animal control…… With their history they would for sure be on the short list in the back room!!!!!! You lied about their demeanor prior to moving up there. You 100% lied about those dogs and now you better pray they do not get out of that enclosure.

You have allowed those dogs to become what they are that is on YOU. Your failure to properly work with them, train them or socialize them has resulted in this last incident. Maybe those trying to convince others that you are such a great dog parent need to spend some time with your dogs…….

Sadly, it is not the dogs fault at all though, it’s yours. The way they lived at the previous residence made them aggressive (putting this mildly). Maybe you forgot but evictions are public record….. You forgot to mention that “extremely aggressive dogs”, “out of control dogs”, “dogs suspected of harming neighbor animals” “excessive barking and howling at all hours of the day and night” as any of the reasons you got evicted….. All of which you LIED about in order to secure a place to squat and take advantage of someone else.

You claim you are not going around Amanda’s dogs because you are afraid of them….. NONE of hers will harm a human or another animal!!! Maybe it’s because you are terrified of your own dogs it makes you afraid of all dogs????

Again, I ask, how is that leg? At this point you should think about your choice to keep these dogs. Fear of AC putting them down should be the LEAST of your worries. In California the OWNER can go to jail when a dog harms a human ya know.

Oh, maybe you aren’t aware of a landmark case from San Francisco many years ago…..

That case changed laws in California. Considering what happened recently you should think long and hard about keeping these dogs. If you do one day they will put YOU in jail for their behavior. This last incident could have; our silence is the only thing that prevented it.

 

Here is a list of the civil laws concerning your dogs conduct….

 

https://www.dogbitelaw.com/liability-based-on-the-dog-bite-statute-in-california/

 

Here is one of the criminal codes….

 

• Criminal Negligence (Penal Code § 399 PC): A dog owner can face criminal charges if they know their animal is dangerous, fail to take reasonable care to keep it under control, and that failure results in serious injury or death to someone.

Potential Criminal Consequences
If a prosecutor can prove a violation of Penal Code 399 (failing to control a dangerous animal), it can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the severity of the injuries.

 

Here is what California code says you need to do…..

It is YOUR duty to REMOVE the danger. Not tomorrow, not next week, not when you can but immediately!!!! Failure to do this will result in us being silent no more. It is that simple!!!

Your dogs have proven that you cannot control them. I ask again, how is that leg????

Two bites…. Hmmm  I know of 2 humans right now, I bet there is more though if we go speak to the guy who evicted you over in Barstow…..

Trying to pass of blame to random wild dogs is also BS…. I have cameras that point toward the hill…. Those cameras have plenty of recordings…… I have saved those recordings…… I am also installing 2 more cameras tomorrow……. Nothing is ever your fault. It is always someone else’s, something else’s. Not this time hun!

Amanda may be too kind hearted to say something, but I am not the bitch to fuck with when it comes to what is happening with those dogs.

Working in rescue I understand it is NOT the dogs fault it is 100% the owners fault. I feel bad for them but you made them this way and then try to minimize the issue. This rant is me trying to hold the dog owner accountable for the behavior of their dogs.

You have seen the law on the matter and no have zero excuse to deal with the problem. So, deal with it or Animal Control will. Photos and video will be provided to animal control if you fail to do what you are legally required to do.

For those supporting this dog owner, please go spend some time in the dogs enclosure I dare you! You push the idea that she is such a good pet parent……. Have you seen her leg or what happened to the one who helped her that day???? Stop enabling her bad choices with her animals!!! She is such a great pet parent that when her sick cat died she put the body in the covered patio and refused to deal with it herself. She was asked repeatedly to go bury it…… She refused to bury her own dead cat, someone else had to. She doesn’t even know where it was buried!!!!

There are zero excuses for what occurred that day. There are zero excuses for the lies she told concerning these dogs demeanors. The lies have to stop, and the issue must be dealt with by her, voluntarily, or the choice will be taken out of her hands.

It took me several days to complete this post since I wasn’t going to actually post it. I needed to vent….. But it needs said and she disregards any request to deal with the issue. I am sick of her blaming it off on anything but herself. As I said, more cameras are going up this weekend to gather more proof, that I WILL post if need be. She cannot argue with actual video footage.

Ok, off my soap box now and I do need to get outside and tend to my own animals. I am working on two new enclosures this week. No I am not adding animals LOL I am just creating new spaces for the ones already here. Updates will be on my YT channel, sorry I do not post too often, but I do post so keep an eye out!

Thanks to those who have donated to make the expansions possible and have a blessed day everyone!!!!

Random Thoughts on Rescue Topics

 

 

 

Random morning pondering……

 

So, another “rescue’ gets busted for things others seem to get away with, while smaller, struggling rescues get trashed….. The wild, inaccurate stories that are still going around about this LA County rescue are crazy. Funny how the inaccurate stories are the ones that seem to spread while the truthful press release seems to be ignored…..

This situation directly affects the High Desert because now LA county shelters are over full and will not be accepting intakes….. Meaning a lot more animals will be driven out here and dumped…..Thus compounding the problem for shelters and rescues.

There is a lot of flack being said online about rescues having a strong social media presence for people to donate. Many are stating that if a rescue doesn’t have “live stream” cameras, etc no one should donate. They give many other flimsy reasons not to donate. These ideas are not only bad but damage smaller, struggling rescues trying to raise funds to obtain such things as cameras with the ability to live stream around the clock.

I am gonna speak frankly about the rescue I work with for a moment. Using it as an example of exactly what I am speaking on here.

So, in 2023 I was put on the board and discovered a lot of crazy things. Many changes were made in an effort to fix the issues, move forward in a positive direction and build community trust again. However, every step was undermined by social media Karens and the ex-president. The board was in a shit position because of things the ex-president had done and after all this time, we have still not been able to recover from it.

Since 2023, many other bad rescues have been very publicly destroyed, like the most recent one. Our rescue has had several malicious animal control calls. All of which were deemed unfounded. I even filed for open records and then posted the actual reports, file notes from AC etc online for the public to see that those making said allegations were outright lying. But, the social media Karens still choose to believe the lies and perpetuate them to make themselves feel better.

Prior to the fall of 2023, I was doing small, independent rescue with a little support from the public. My passion is giving the seniors and “unadoptables” a place to call home. I am also one of the FEW rescuers who will deal with true ferals. I do not believe that being feral should result in a death sentence. I currently have 4 true ferals, 2 are neutered and 2 girls are on the list to be spayed. Some have followed Spicy Carolina’s story. What I have not told about her story, and the others pulled from that colony is that they could never return to their colony.

Carolina, and a handful of others pulled from the Victorville colony were at risk of being poisoned. Many threats had been made, and I had loaned traps to a friend who lives in the apartment complex. She trapped them and I went to pick them up. One by one many were caught and brought here, spayed / neutered and socialization attempts began. Some responded well and have become the sweetest, most adoptable kitties. Four however, remain true feral.

Now, how does this bad rescue tie in? It is a simple matter of knowing when to say NO. As a rescuer that is the single, most difficult thing to say to someone who is desperate to help and animal. I cry at night sometimes because I have had to tell many people no lately. I have been put in that position because of social media Karens killing our fundraising, preventing potential adoptions and basically spreading tons of lies that I no longer have the desire to attempt to explain since I spent so much time on that in the past.

But I am a problem to them. I prevented these kitties from the very fate that the Lake Hughes animals are now experiencing. I prevented them from becoming a shelter statistic, but somehow I am the problem. They have deemed these kitties unworthy of public support….. Why? Because of things the ex-president has done AND because some of them are true feral and cannot be returned to their original colony.

I am guilty of NOT posting tons of videos online. It isn’t because the animals are in bad shape. It’s because my hands are full during animal care and by the time this is done I am simply exhausted. Requests for volunteers also goes unanswered, or filled with a thousand excuses. I stopped asking for that a long time ago. Some have little understanding of what goes into caring for a full colony.

I will make a poor attempt to explain what caring for a colony consists of.

1.   Being responsible is the first and most important thing. Keep male and female separate until they are spayed / neutered. This means understanding they are escape artists and knowing how to keep them contained. This is not easy of cheap.

2.   Be responsible enough to give them proper shelter. This means shade, safe hiding spaces, heat in the winter, warm beds etc and cool in the summer. The cooling challenges in the High Desert are no joke. Also not easy or cheap.

3.   Proper feeding and watering also should include pool for dogs to cool themselves in the summer, ice packs for the kitties to curl up on, fans, extra shade but proper food and water at all times. The best way to ensure this is tubs they cannot dump over. Dogs are notorious for dumping bowls and smaller water containers over, so a true effort must be made to make sure their summer water cannot be dumped.

4.   Cameras are important for ME. My cameras are cheap WIFI cameras that I can use to check the animals instead of making a thousand rounds per day. Sometimes I will post footage, sometimes not. I do not have any cameras that can live stream yet. One day I hope to though. Installation of these cameras takes time to make sure placement is proper to get the best view. This was great for keeping an eye on Spicy Carolina during her recovery and watching her now since she hides when humans are around.

5.   Socializing is the single most thing that takes a rescuers time, energy and effort. People have zero concept of just how much time this takes. Since I have several who need socializing, my day is spent sitting in their enclosures and allowing them to come to me, when they are ready. I do NOT force socializing on the four true ferals though. I allow them to be what they are. One, Nels, is now allowing me to see him and watch him enjoy the new outdoor catio we just built off their camper. For the dogs, which thankfully at the moment, I have zero except my personals, it means sitting with them, walking them, giving them tons of love since they likely came out of a bad situation. Socializing takes HOURS upon hours a day and is the single most exhausting thing a rescuer does.

6.   Keeping the spaces clean is also important. It doesn’t mean a spotless area because that is impossible, even for someone with OCD. Rescuers know it is messy and our days mean we clean a LOT of poop! It also means we inspect said poop to monitor the health of our animals. It also means sometimes a dumped food dish may wait until the next day to be swept up, litter boxes may wait a day or two to be scooped or changed. But clean spaces are very important for their health! This is also very important in the summer because of flies and the smell.

7.   Emotional health of the animal is important. Giving them challenges and stimulation is important. Animals get bored easily which can turn into massive behavioral problems later on. This is why I have went above and beyond my own bodies capabilities to give them catios, tons of toys and things to occupy them. I am presently working on “electric” dog enclosures and will be testing that in the next couple of weeks. The cats now have a 10 x 10 enclosure for the ones ready for adoption (meaning those already spayed, neutered, vetted and ready to go), as well as the smaller enclosure built for the ferals to enjoy the outdoors safely. Failure to address an animals emotional health usually results in a bad outcome.

8.   Understanding when to say no is important. Lately I have received so many calls from people asking me to pull dogs off the “euth list”. Saying no is difficult, right now I have no place to put a dog since all of my enclosures are occupied. Even if I had one open I have run into the problem of once the dog is pulled little to no support comes in for it and the promise of a foster falls through. I have seen other rescuers end up with dogs that cannot be adopted out after doing such pulls. So, for someone like me, a small struggling rescue with little support and no reliable volunteers, knowing when to say no is very important because the animals care is taxing work and lots of people talk a good game online but behind the screen do nothing.

9.   Struggling to get donations while seeing scam rescues / rescuers using the funds for their personal piggy bank. Yeah, this one ticks me off and I know others see it too. One rescue I worked with, who does husky dogs has a hoard of huskies, no kennel license and blatantly uses donations for personal living. I will not name that rescue, but they are in California and do raise near a quarter of a million per year while the dogs suffer. It breaks my heart to know people will give to such obvious donation abuse while small rescues, like the one I work with, struggle for even the smallest donation. I find it so hypocritical that people preach about spaying and neutering yet ignore requests for donations for such things. How can you preach about it and then send your donation to people using it for vacations, fancy clothes etc? I also see the same people doing this trashing small rescues who do ask for help spaying and neutering…… The hypocrisy can be sickening at times.

 

These are just some of the thousands of things that are important in rescue. Of course, vet care is on that list. So, where does our time go to be on social media? I scroll when I am resting and find it hilarious that some rescuers obviously spend more time on social media than they do with the animals. Then, those same people judge people like me and claim to know everything about me, some even claim to know more about me than I know about myself….. I even watch the self-appointed judges claim to know more about medical / mental than doctors…… I get a good laugh and continue scrolling because those type of people are no longer worth the effort. I have also noticed those type of people tend to group together on social media…. Folie à deux

The one that I least understand though is a “rescuer” who was CONVICTED of animal abuse more than once, spreading obvious lies (proven to be lies), still is believed by the little clique on social media. A good example is how this person made false allegations to animal control. AC found those allegations false and the person who called is STILL perpetuating the lies even though I posted the full AC report publicly.

You see, people do not grasp why I choose to live where I do. Take Lake Hughes as a good example. I know having a rescue means disturbing neighbors. I have lived in areas where dogs barking 24 / 7 is very annoying. I have lived in areas where feral colonies were out of control and the outdoor smell was unbearable. I am also a domestic violence survivor who found that the quiet out here was what I needed.

I do not have much, but what I can do is leave something for the animals once I am gone. I worked hard to get the little that I do have. I joke and tell people this is the animals home and they let me live here because they have no thumbs. In reality, this is the truth. I am trying to get some back bills caught up, establish a trust so that this property goes to furthering the dream of a sanctuary for the seniors and unadoptables. The struggle is real while rescues like Lake Hughes and the convicted animal abuser obviously have more time online than doing the rescue they brag about.

I have seen many good suggestions about how people should determine who they donate to. I agree on transparency, but in my case, full transparency has not resulted in a single donation to assist with spaying and neutering let alone any for daily care. So, I see a lot of hypocrisy there too. No, I do not spend tons of hours making videos or posting tons of pictures. Why not? I am disabled and my body only permits me to do so much in a days time. All of my requests for assistance in getting said pictures or videos have gone unanswered, so few are done.

My question is this….. To those who demand transparency, why ignore the needs after transparency has been given? That is the exact definition of the hypocrisy I am speaking of. It is also narcissism at it’s finest. These people make one unreal demand after another while holding the promise of donations as a hostage. No matter the hoops they will never keep their word, so I have chosen not to engage with them any longer. Sadly, this choice on social media also results in those who follow such nonsense not donating.

Now it is time for me to do morning rounds…. A little bit late today. I will pray that people’s eyes open and see our need to cover spay / neuter for the few left here who need it. I will pray people will be touched to send treats, catnip, wet food for the seniors and anything else they feel touched to donate. Most of all I pray for a reliable volunteer who is as passionate about these animals as I am.

Have a blessed day folks I know I will!

Please see my "about me" page on this blog for information on how to donate!!!!!

PILLS CANNOT FIX BROKEN TEETH

 

Ok I need to vent….

PILLS CANNOT FIX BROKEN TEETH

 

So, for a few weeks I have been housing someone’s male cat. In that time, not once did this person provide any food for him. Not once did they help handle him to do a proper exam. Not once did they come visit him.

This cat came to me with large, hard masses in his cheeks. His teeth are broken, missing but otherwise appears healthy and has a healthy appetite. The masses are NOT abscesses, more like tumor growths. They are solid, rock hard and “float”, meaning they do not feel attached to any inside structures.

I told the person I had no steroids to give the kitty, we will call him Rotty for this article. They wanted him to have antibiotics. Rotty had no infection and antibiotics will not help what is going on with his teeth and the masses. They are not abscesses. So, I have been giving him wet food since I know he has a hard time with crunchy food.

I was able to do a full exam on him, with pictures. I sent said pictures to this person. The pictures CLEARLY show all of his broken teeth.

Yesterday this person texts me….. Wants to check on Rotty. This person is upset that I will not pump him full of antibiotics. No matter how I explain it to them they do not seem to grasp that antibiotics will NOT help broken teeth or the issues caused by them. I also explained to said person that if they wanted to drug a cat with medication it does not need I want no part of it.

So, this morning this person wakes me up… (I totally forgot to put my phone on DND)!!! This person could not wait for me to have one cup of coffee….. First, they wanted to “visit” with Rotty  which is fine, but since he is not alone in the enclosure and there is an escape artist this person knows it takes two to keep Ninja in. This person calls repeatedly after saying she will wait until I have one cup of coffee.

It is barely past 7 a.m. at this point……

So, I sit down with my coffee and my phone rings. It’s her….Now she has to get Rotty to the vet by 9 a.m……. I know it’s a lie…. Today is a holiday……So, cup crashes into the sink and I stomp out and grab a carrier. I explain to Rotty his mom is picking him up and I am sorry she would rather drug him with a drug he doesn’t need rather than do a fundraiser to get the dental he does need.

I put his carrier behind my vehicle in the driveway and I go in. She was already on my driveway to come …..zero respect for other’s requests. None. Just because you are up at 4 a.m does not mean everyone has been up and it doesn’t mean we should jump because you say so.

So, she gets Rotty only to take him to someone who will pump him full of antibiotics and NOT address the dental surgery he desperately needs. The person she took him to speaks about how she is so good with her animals. If that was true then 2 weeks ago, when I sent her the pictures of his broken teeth and explained how she needed a fundraiser for what his medical needs were then she would have done it.

She claims she hasn’t worked in two weeks. Had plenty of time to get the fundraiser posted but I guess she just sat around waiting for someone else to do it…..

Instead, she played this morning / last night as if she did not know that she was supposed to do that, she thought I was gonna write it up and post it.

Um gee, it is NOT my cat. She was given everything she needed to make a post for it and she chose not to. She does this a lot with other cats as well…. She claimed Rotty wasn’t hers… He showed up in her trap right before she moved…. Um gee ya brought him with you when you moved that sort of makes him your responsibility.

She also knew Rotty was eating wet food….. She provided none and I had to limit what I gave him since I have a senior who can only have wet food now.

She kept saying she has antibiotics for him no matter how I explain no antibiotic on the planet is gonna help him. There is no pill that will fix broken teeth or the other issues they cause. Forcing him to take antibiotics is simply TORTURE since it will not address the root cause of the problem.

The masses in his cheeks are NOT abscesses, so antibiotics are not gonna help those either. They are rock hard tumor like growths that need to be surgically removed.

But in her wisdom, she dumps Rotty at another friend’s home who WILL TORTURE this cat with medication that is not gonna help him and instead of getting the surgical dental he needs,, they will only prolong his pain and suffering. Those masses have grown in the few weeks he was here. They may grow and interfere with his throat, as in his ability to breathe or swallow. But hey, the other friend is more than willing to medicate him so yeah, dump him there.

Pray for Rotty that he will get the surgery he needs and that he does not die under their all knowing standard of care. OMFG I see now why people say what they do about the other friend she just dumped Rotty on.

Maybe I am the stupid one I mean did some pill come about that fixes broken teeth and I just haven’t heard about it???? Poor Rotty, broken teeth, swollen gums, masses in his cheeks and she feels shoving pills down his throat is gonna help.

I told her today I will not be a part of that. She knows he needs dental surgery and she refuses to listen. So, I am done helping her for good. I cannot stand by and knowingly be a part of her neglecting the needs of this cat.

She sent him away because she does not want to deal with another one dying in her presence. What she doesn’t want to admit is that Rotty will be fine if he gets the surgery. Guess making a post asking for help with the cost is too much for her……. Easier to find someone who will medicate Rotty than it is to actually get him the needed dental…

Yeah I have pictures of his mouth……. Yes she has known for almost 3 weeks……. Now, I need to cry because I know his suffering is prolonged due to this person’s stupid, idiotic ideas that pills are gonna fix him……..

 

PILLS CANNOT FIX BROKEN TEETH

I hope she can sleep well knowing Rotty will be in pain, the side effects from those pills will make him miserable and his teeth will not magically grow back or repair themselves while she insists on the pill “cure”. Yet another kitty she ignores the medical of. It is the last one I will be silent about though.

Rotty is a great kitty, sweet personality, neutered and so chill. He does not deserve this!!!!

But she is gonna be mad at me because I would not shove antibiotics into him, that I did not write up a fundraiser for her cat, that I simply asked for her to allow me to have a cup of coffee this morning.

She needs to stop lying to people. We know she never took him to the vet. We know she took him to the other friend’s house because they will force antibiotics into him.

GREAT. Make him antibiotic resistant and when he does get sick and actually needs antibiotics they are not gonna help him. Again, stupid people I swear!!!!

Why is it so hard to ask for help for his surgery????? Others were lined up to help share the post and help get the word out…… But it was too much trouble.

When you screw around and this condition kills him……. I pray you dig the hole yourself, not like the last one you let pass and then refused to bury….. Left the body until someone else finally buried it.

Ok, off my soap box and gonna go chill with my kitty clan…… They are binge watching School Spirits and seem to love Wally for some reason. I am praying for Rotty though.

Meet Blue

 

 

Hey There peoples,

 

My name is Blue. I am a Russian blue mix, mostly Russian blue. I love food, all kinds. I am super shy right now but my story is one you want to hear. How I came to be in this wonderful place was an adventure!!!

I was born outside in Victorville. No one touched me and I feared people. Those things called cars terrified me! I spent my life hiding, hunting and avoiding the humans, until….

BOOM, one day someone tricked me! I smelled something wonderful and went to investigate. I found myself stuck in this metal contraption and could not get out! A nice lady picked me up and we had a long drive. She put me in a “condo” and touched me! OMFG she touched me! I must admit I do like the head scratches. I hated the condo though…… It had room but was limited.

The lady said I was “broken” and took me to a place where they poked me. I took a nap and woke up without my holy cherries! What kind of sorcery is that???? Ever since I have felt better, had a huge appetite and been content to allow the humans to touch me. I never imagined that I would enjoy their company….. But I do.

I prefer to be alone, but also enjoy other kitties. I steal their food when I can! I love cat nip the lady calls it “cat crack” although I’m not sure why…… Oh that stuff makes me go wild!!!! I love rolling in it.

I am still super shy, but will come around to you. I promise not to hurt you, but I am still learning to trust. I do not like the thing the lady calls a “camera”. She insists on it seeing my eyes though. She says I have “gorgeous” eyes…. Whatever that means….. Humans are strange….

I love windows, but now fear the outside. Those things that terrified me when I was a kitten growing up, now are just a memory. I had a hard life on the streets and now feel like a kitty king. I love laying on the fluffy bed near the humans feet. I am not fond of bedtime cuddles yet though. Be patient, it will happen.

I am not the best hunter, those mice were my main diet for a long time. I guess I am burnt out since the lady makes sure I have plenty of good food now. I don’t need those fast little critters anymore. I cannot promise to rid your home of them, but some days I might get one for you.

I am a quiet one, don’t have much to say. But if I purr for you then know I have chosen you, your lap as my person and my place. Are you the special person who can be patient with me as I learn to trust? I hope to be your only kitty, for a while at least. I adore kittens and can help you foster them. They amuse me and I help clean them because those wiggly things never do it right!!!!

The lady says an “adoption fee applies”…. Comment below and they will contact you….. In the meantime I will quietly enjoy this new enclosure and all the yummy food!!!!

 

Love,

Blue

 

Meet Miss Bonnie

 

 

Hello peeps,

 

My name is Bonnie and my story is one of suffering and then love. My previous owner was not so good….. They locked me up with no food or water and would not permit anyone else to provide it for me…… Prior to that I was bounced around from place to place because my previous owner was homeless or squatting….

Moving around all the time was stressful for me and I was sad. My body was thin, weak and about to give out when I was brought to where I am now. I have been spoiled here for sure. I was abandoned by my previous owner here back in 2024. My exact age is not known but a good estimate is 4 to 5 years old.

I am an orange and white kitty, active, loving and love to snuggle with you in the bed at night. I take my job very seriously too. I love hunting. Rodents, spiders, you name it I will hunt it. I used to eat them, but now I present them as a thank you for all you do for me. I hope you like the presents because hunting them is hard work.

The lady who currently cares for me does a good job. She called me “broken” and took me to a place where they poked me OUCH and I took a nap. When I woke up my belly was partly shaved and she said I was “fixed”. I have felt so much better since that nap. I am gaining weight and have so much more energy. I do well alone or with other kitties. I am ok with small dogs but not larger ones (they scare me).

The place I am now is an amazing cat paradise. I even have my own little house!!! The lady is always bringing new surprises for us. I am in an enclosure with six others, all boys. Some of them are super shy, two of them talk all the time it is hard to get a good nap sometimes!

The lady said I could stay forever if that is what I want. I am seeking a loving home, one that will be forever inside, no more roaming outside where there are so many dangerous things. You cannot imagine what I have seen in my lifetime! I want a warm bed with a soft blanket, lots of good food and treats. But most of all I want someone who lets me snuggle in their lap, plays with me and loves me forever.

I do require things to climb on and hide in. I like adventure and LOVE cardboard boxes. I love small rugs, especially soft ones. They make the best naptime places. I love windows too, so much to see. Bird watching is a favorite past time of mine.

The lady says that someone super special has to be the one who gives me a forever home because of everything I have been through. I promise to be the best kitty you have ever had and be the companion you have always needed. I do not know what an “adoption fee” is but the lady says I have one.

The lady calls herself the catlady, and I can see how well it suits her. She has saved me and given me a joy I have never known before. She said if you wish to inquire comment below and someone will send you an adoption application! But be warned, the lady said it cannot be just anyone, they have to be special because I deserve it. What does that mean?

While I wait I will practice my hunting, climbing and skills so that I am perfect for whomever applies. The lady also points a blinky thing at me so I am sure you can see how beautiful I am. I promise not to shed too much, but I love being brushed a lot.

Please inquire today, I would love to get that special forever home soon!!!

 

Love,

 

Miss Bonnie

An Interesting Conversation Last Night

 

Last night I had an interesting conversation in text with someone……

She had sent a YT video that asked for prayers, then began general chit chat asking how I have been etc…

So, when I start showing her the pix of the cat enclosure I have near finished, she proceeds to tell me how much she HATES cats and wants to unalive the ones that come around her house.

I offered to go trap the ones by her house….. She refused.

As the conversation went on she gets upset because my life revolves around the animals and all she wanted to talk about was the prayer request and getting people to repent, how we are called to get people to repent.

I pointed out that each of us has different gifts and a different calling. She got upset and argued that our only calling was to get people to repent. She did not want to hear how each of us is good at different things, meaning each of us is called to different missions. In her eyes and mind we all only have one calling.

I explained my calling to help the unwanted and unadoptable cats, she said it is the devil distracting me from God’s calling…..

I reminded her that cats are God’s creatures and my calling is to care for the ones He sends my way….. Again she called it the devils work. I explained how she sounded like the king in the Dark Ages who killed all the cats…. She said if she had it her way she would. I then pointed out how that once the cats were gone the Bubonic Plague wiped out over half of Europe. According to her the devil did that too, not the rats……

She went on about how cats will matter little in WW3….. I tried to express how they have a very important job in all times. At this point her rhetoric became almost scary, to the point of delusional so I simply said I will pray that you become enlightened about all of God’s creatures. She went off that this was not the prayer request she asked for.

My response was that I will pray that the anger in her heart towards God’s creatures be lifted. Again, she got upset about it not being what the request was for. So, again, I reworded it….

I will pray that you understand you cannot love all of God’s creation with hate in your heart. At this point she finally stopped responding. So, I lit a candle, said a little prayer and let it go.

 

I get a similar response from dog rescuers. I speak to one, in particular, who has been a little upset with me that I will NOT intake dogs, especially larger ones. But it’s on the “euth list” it needs help soon….. Ok, I do not have the set up to be pulling dogs, nor do I have the HELP. Remember, I am 56 years old with physical limitations. Some other rescuers fail to remember this point. I have large dogs of my own and they are a handful for me.

People do what they are good at, what they physically can. I am good with CATS. I will not apologize for that or justify why I will rescue feral cats rather than pulling from shelters. Ferals and strays need just as much help as cats in shelters do, mainly to prevent them from being one of the cats in the shelter!!!! So, I get them BEFORE they are sent to a shelter and put on a “euth list”……. How is this a bad thing????

I do not judge others for the type of rescue they choose to. I try to be supportive and help them network their animals….. Not one of them helps network a single kitty that I post though….. Why? Because in their eyes cats are not worthy enough of their support.

So, I will do my thing. You do your thing. We all play a part in the rescue world regardless of how some feel about cats. I will be here, teaching the kitties every day. When your rodent problem is beyond what you can handle, I have cats that can solve it for you. Thank you!

Yes, I train the kitties to hunt. No, I do not feel bad for the field mice and kangaroo rats that are sacrificed for this purpose. I trap them live and give them to the kitties. This is their purpose.

Now, I do need to get to the morning chores and spend some time with the animals.

Have a blessed day y’all.

 

 

And please remember…. If you ask me how I have been or what I have been up to….. 100% the answer will contain something about that cats. So, if you do not like cats and do not want to hear about cats…… Best advice is don’t ask!
