I am an animal rescuer.
I will save lives. I will lose lives.
I will make wise decisions.I will make mistakes.
I will be surrounded by people who understand what I do and how I feel.
I will be criticized by those who do not understand.
I will rejoice when each homeless huggable finds a new forever family.
I will suffer through days when I cannot get those lost out of my mind.
I am an animal rescuer.

FRIENDS

THIS IS A PLEA FOR THE KITTIES IN GA.  OUR MISSION IS TO SAVE THEM FROM KILL SHELTERS, AND GET THEM HEALTHY AND VETTED.  WHEN YOU ARE GETTING KITTIES FROM US, YOU ARE GETTING THEM WITH THE LEAST RISK POSSIBLE.  WE DO OUR OWN TRANSPORTS, AND ARE STRINGENT IN MAKING SURE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THAT EVERY ONE ON BOARD ARE HEALTHY.WE SPAY OR NEUTER OUR KITTIES, COMBO TEST THEM,  DEWORM AND DEFLEA, AND GIVE ALL VACCINATIONS.

PHOTOS SAY A THOUSAND WORDS,  LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL HAPPY FACES.  THEY ARE ALL YOUNG, VETTED, AND READY FOR IMMEDIATE ADOPTION. 

I BELIEVE IN THE COMPASSION OF MY NORTHERN FRIENDS,  AS TO THE OVERPOPULATION HERE, AND WE MUST CHANGE THE CULTURE.  IN THE MEANTIME, WE NEED YOU HELP TO FIND WONDERFUL HOMES FOR THE ONES WE SAVE.

LOOK AT THIS BABY...
  
  BORN IN THE SHELTER ( ANIMAL CONTROL).  
SHE HAS BEEN IN A SMALL CRAMPED CAGE ALL OF HER LIFE. HER MAMA IS THERE TOO.  A PETITE BLACK GIRL. THIS IS HORRIFIC.  HELP US GET HER OUT BY TAKING SOME OF OUR KITTIES ON THE LIST.

YOU MAY NOTICE THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF TABBY & BLACK KITTIES, AND THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT.  TABBIES AND BLACKS ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO BE KILLED HERE.  WE BELIEVE THEY ARE WONDERFUL COMPANIONS, AND HOPE THAT YOU DO TOO!

WE ARE A SMALL GROUP OF INDEPENDENT RESCUERS, AND DEPEND ON FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND RESCUES TO HELP US.

This kitten season has been the worst ever!!!

This kitten season has been the worst ever!!! 

This is an example of letters I have been getting, that make me so upset.  I am so glad that I have decided some years ago to send my rescue kitties North.  the overpopulation here has us all stymied.  All local rescues are full, adoption centers, are not getting adopters, and kittens keep coming to animal control.  Even the best animal control cannot sustain this.  The following is an example of a letter I just got from someone in my group...

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Rebecca
 I would like to talk to you ,but I am also sending you this email. I am very concerned and upset.

When I went to the shelter yesterday to get you some photos of Siamese, they mentioned an owner surrender  had just come in for 1 yr olds bonded pair.. the owner had a family emergency and had to move to help her mother,

The cats were put into adoption room, thank God, rather than the isolation room, as they were all fully vetted, and UTD on shots.
So we went to get photos to send to you of these babies.

I was heartbroken to find that this pair were  my own rescue kitties, Sasha and Simon, I rescued not  even a year ago, and took fully vetted to local rescue, the no kill, where this woman adopted.

She told the shelter she contacted the rescue, and they did not take back as they were full…
We had paid for all their vetting and donated, for them to be safe, and under the impression that as a no kill, they would always be taken back safe to be re-homed

.

Now they are in a kill shelter,  with minimal resources,, 

I will contact the rescue on this,,, I am really disturbed and worried for the cats.. the shelter had split this pair to male  and  female side cage, they were so afraid. I told Chris to put together, as they are already fixed and cannot be split. they are in excellent health.. but not if they stay there.

I came home, found the kitten photos and compared, I am sending these to you to see.
the current ones are  in the shelter, together and separate.. also one  as my kittens when i rescued,

do you think anyone of your rescues friends could help move or adopt  these two babies considering the circumstances? Can you tell them the situation to help?  I need to get them out of the shelter, we are all so full everywhere, If I knew they could transport,  and go safely to one of your groups we can trust, then I will find a place for them for now…

I simply cannot leave them there,,, God brought me to the shelter yesterday,, I know to find them again,

I really need help, this is a very odd and upsetting thing to my rescue heart. I am losing faith in the rescue groups, who are not doing the commitment.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS  WHY I AM CONTINUING TO DO TRANSPORTS..  THERE ARE LOTS OF REASONS FOR MAKING SURE OUR KITTIES GET INTO SAFE HANDS.   WHEN LOCAL RESCUES FAIL YOU.... 

THERE ARE MANY GOOD LOCAL RESCUES, BUT THEY'RE ALL OVERWHELMED THIS YEAR.  I TALKED WITH THE RESCUE, AND TOLD THEM HOW DISAPPOINTED I WAS, AND THEY AGREED TO BOARD THEM.  NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAVE GOTTEN THOSE TWO BEAUTIFUL YOUNG CATS OUT OF ANIMAL CONTROL, AND INTO FOSTER CARE. NOW WE NEED A HOME FOR THEM!

Vet needs to be paid

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED WITH OUR TRANSPORT TODAY!!!
 
WE SENT 27 KITTIES UP NORTH TO THEIR NEW LIVES!!!  SEE ALL THE PHOTOS OF OUR RENTED VAN, AND HOW HAPPY THE KITTIES ARE!!!  WE WISH IT WAS OURS!!!
 
WE ARE MAKING ANOTHER TRIP SOON IF WE CAN RAISE SOME FUNDS, OTHERWISE WE CAN'T CONTINUE OUR TRANSPORTS.
 
IT HAS BEEN A HARD SUMMER WITH THIS YEARS KITTEN SEASON, AND IF YOU WILL NOTICE FROM OUR PHOTOS, WE DO NOT SEND JUST KITTENS.  OUR RESCUE PARTNERS UP NORTH UNDERSTAND, THAT THE ADULTS ARE THE FIRST TO DIE AT ANIMAL CONTROL, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CUTE KITTENS!!!  SO MANY OF OUR WONDERFUL ADULT KITTIES GET RESCUE!!!
 
IN A PERFECT WORLD, IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $125 TO READY OUR KITTIES FOR TRANSPORT, UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT A PERFECT WORLD.  WE GET MANY SICK KITTIES FROM THE RURAL SHELTERS, THAT WE TAKE OUR KITTIES FROM.  THEREFORE WE INCURR A LOT OF EXPENSE IN VET BILLS. 
 
OUR WONDERFUL TEAM AT BARANIK ANIMAL CARE, DO MOST OF OUR VETTING, TAKE CARE OF OUR SICK ONES, AND ALL OF OUR TRANSPORTS.  ON TOP OF THAT, THEY WAIT FOR THEIR MONEY!!!  RIGHT NOW I AM IN DEBT TO THE TUNE OF $3000 TO DR. B., WHO GIVES ME VERY GOOD RESCUE PRICES.  WE TRULY NEED TO PAY THE BILL DOWN, IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ON.  PLEASE HELP US!!!
 
DON'T LET THEM DIE FOR LACK OF MONEY!
PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP FOR RESCUE OR ADOPTION!
