My husband and I made our first transport to Baton Rouge today. Tweety, our foster for Small Animal Rescue, had an appointment for a check-up today. She had no visible parasites, and no obvious health problems. Tweety got her vaccinations. She was a good girl too. She sat pretty every time the vet had a treat in her hand. The vet gave her too many treats though. I know, because I wore them on the way home. I let Tweety ride home on my lap, as she doesn't care for the pet taxi. She did real good, until we almost got to our exit.
While at the vet's we were blessed to meet Sharon from Small Animal Rescue. She was there to take care of Tweety's vet bill. She also had several boxes of items which they were donating to us! Lots of much needed cat food, cat treats, cat toys, and flea spray. She also brought us some dog food, some rawhide, a couple dog toys, and metal dog bowls for Tweety. Thank you Sharon and Small Animal Rescue!
We were also taking Joey, the FIV cat, to Karen with Muttshack. She was coming from New Orleans to meet us. We met at the vet's office in Baton Rouge. She will take care of her until she can place her in a rescue with an FIV room, or in a furever home. We miss Joey. But, at least now she can have more room to run and play. Joey won't have to remain caged all the time. Thank you Karen and Muttshack! PTL for answer to our prayers! Now we just need to pray that Karen can find the best place for Joey to stay for the remainder of her life.
When we got back home from Baton Rouge, it was almost time to leave again. I had promised Karen with Muttshack, that I would make a Roicy Run for her. She had made arrangements for me to pull some cats for her. I pulled one Maine Coon, two black cats, one Tabby, and one Siamese mix. I met another woman from Muttshack who was there to pull dogs for them. When my husband and I left the pound, we headed back home. We put the Siamese mix in one cage, and the Tabby in another. We reheated some leftover Gumbo for dinner. Just as we finished dinner, the phone rang. It was the rescuer from New Orleans that was picking up three of the Roicy rescues. We left to head back to Lafayette with the three cats, who are now on their way to their rescue in New Orleans.
All in all, it was a very busy, but productive day. If you want, you can see the pictures, and a video clip, that I posted from our adventures today, you can see them at http://mycatranch.textamerica.com/ Please pray for the animals that were rescued from death row today. Finances will need to be raised to get these beautiful cats vetted and ready for adoption into good homes. Thank you! =^..^= |
