Thanks to All of You

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

I'm very thankful to all of you for your help, comments and support during the past year. With you, we've been able to pull off, well, a few miracles for some very lucky and deserving cats.

With you, we've raised money to "bust" kittens out of High Kill Shelters, support rescue groups, struggling from the bad economy and find a way to get medical care to a cat hit by a car and two cats who needed life-saving surgery.

Each time I stick my neck out and say; "Not on My Watch" and take in another rescued kitten or cat, I find I'm a bit stronger and more able to do what I do because YOU are there with me. My only hope is that I'm giving something back to all of you.

Since May of this year, 61 cats have been rescued and adopted through this web site and my own fostering efforts. Add to that the MANY cats we've put the word out for who have been rescued and adopted, too and that's easily over 150! Not bad for a BLOG!

My goals to help are endless. Next year I hope we do double this number or triple. The number of animals I can take in is finite, but the number WE can all help together is limitless.

So THANK YOU. Have a great Thanksgiving and let's get back to work and bust out more kittens from Kill shelters soon!

With Love to all,

Robin

for this blog and for twitter and for WCR & Kat5 rescue. Without them I would not have Nyah, Pippin, Contessa or Mercedes.

I found out about Mercedes thru this blog when the post about Melody was re-tweeted to Twitter. Thru that post, I found out about Mercedes, dumped at NEGAS in GA @ 20-yrs old. Would she have died there or would someone else have stepped up before it was too late? I dunno. I know it was a close call.

Now this old girl has a chance to live out her last years in love and peace. She is really settling in and becoming a friendly, loving cat who is even beginning to be OK with sharing her space w/ so many other cats.

Pippin & Contessa are doing great and Nyah begs for belly rubs. Not bad for cats who would be dead of not for rescue.

I am thankful for ppl like you and the ones on this blog and in the trenches who do this day in and day out despite the heartbreak, stress and horror. You are the ones I am grateful for.

I will take new vids of the gang soon, promise. Been too busy to breathe. :/

Be safe all. *hugs*

I'm so glad to hear about how all the kitties are doing. It shouldn't surprise me, but it always does-to see the dramatic change in a cat once it's out of harm's way and into a warm, loving home or foster placement. Even in just 24hrs my little nutjobs from GA are calming down. I just left them-most purring and stretched out. Finally, they can live without the stress of being confined to a cage.

I also thank Karen Bryant, the ACO at Jasper Co. for making sure they didn't have to die and for looking after them with such compassion.

It is a thankless job being an ACO in a place where the community doesn't care about animals and will not give anything above the most meager resources. Those who still work hard for their animals deserve a lot of appreciation. So many seem to barely care at all.
