She has grown into a stunning kitty and my hope is this weekend when I participate in Petco’s National Adoption Day is that I will find a home for this special needs kitty. I considered taking my cats and kittens with me to the store, but the stress on them would be a bit much. I also have no intention of adopting them out “on the spot” so instead, I have made up a display of their photos that will be mounted on easels in front of my table.

Because there will be competition in the room, I struggled to come up with an innovative way of capturing cat lovers’ attention from the other rescue groups.

I decided after praying about it that I was going to make a foam board of photos and the caption is “If These Cats Could Tweet…”

I did not wish to give the graphic details of these cats and their plights so instead, I did a play on words. For India, the black kitten who was intentionally poisoned by his previous owner- I wrote: “Get me an interview with Jeff Probst! I am a True Survivor.”

For Trump- my older golden kitty, I tweeted “What? You think with the name of Trump that I am NOT neutered?”

For my little golden boy Dixon- I tweeted “What am I a canary? I don’t Tweet!”

and so on and so forth for all the kitties up for adoption.

I will be taking two of the bottle babies with me, a friend will be staying behind and bottle feeding the rest while I am gone.

This is the first time I will participate in an event such as this and my girlfriend Angie has agreed to help me out. I just hope enough interested people will fill out the adoption forms and the home visits will go well and these cats can move on with their lives.

I heard from Amanda who adopted the two Siamese mixes; Sahara and Fawn and I loved her email. The sentence that made me grin was this one:

“Mary Anne, I am having so much fun with these two girls!”

Here is Google in all her glory out in the cat enclosure. She still has her issues with her tummy and unless I get the powder to put on her food, she has major litter pan issues. I am hoping she will go to a home where she is the only kitty and her diet can be strictly monitored. Not sure if I shared this or not- but it was finally determined that she has an intestinal disease that pigs usually get! In researching this further, near where she was found and the other littermates were lying lifeless in the grass is a filthy and I do mean filthy pig farm. I have been back a few times and I have seen little kittens wallowing in the mud with these pigs eating their food! Those kittens later vanished without a trace. 🙁 I tried to get them away from the pig farmer- but he was less than pleasant to deal with so I gave up.
