One Crying Kitten And Momma's Lucky Seven

 My Latest Creation:

One Crying Kitten And Momma's Lucky Seven

This book is about a life-long dog lover, who discovers cats late in life, when they start showing up everywhere. It is the author's true story of how the rescue of "one crying kitten," led to her adopting seven others, born to a feral Mom. The story is full of pictures and video's of the pregnant Mom and Dad, Momma feeding the babies, and the babies at play in various stages of their lives.

It also shows the other offspring of Momma's two previous litters. The purpose of writing this book, is to show the growing concern of colony cats, and how to stop colonies, or nip them in the bud, as the author did with these "lucky seven," and all of Momma's family.


***


Momma was not quite 2 years of age, when she was spayed, and had already had three litters. Having babies, was all she knew. And she was the most wonderful, caring Momma cat, who was hoppin fences up to and after her delivery of her last seven kittens. In fact, she hopped a 6 foot fence, several times, with a kitten in tow.

A colony of cats can grow up to 100 in numbers. If every pet owner, would do their part by having their cats neutered/spayed, and trap any stray cats around their homes, we'd do much to help reduce many colonies.

 Here's a few pictures of Momma and her feral family

Dad looking back... 




                                                              This is another stray I trapped and had "fixed." I call him "Moonie." He comes in and then leaves for a while.... He was obviously abandoned, and not sure where he belongs at this time....

***

To date, I have had a total of 15 cats "fixed." I'm sure if more come up eat at a regular basis, I will do my best to get them trapped and "fixed," also.

There are far too many stray, feral, abandoned cats in my neighborhood, and indeed all over the country, if not the world...

Let's all do our part to help reduce growing cat colonies.

Amen.

The Life and Adventures of a Pit Bull Named Leroy Brown

Hello Dear Readers, I'm Back! I've been through a real Transformation over the past few years. My Pit Bull, Leroy Brown played a part in, and helped me through my transformational shift.  

The Pivotal point of my transformation was when I got bit by my own Pit Bull! That's right! But it was an "accident" and completely my fault!

Let me explain... A "friend" of mine, brought over his female, Bitch Pit Bull, in my home with my neutered Pit, and neutered Shepherd mix. The Shepherd mix, Charlie, was a new rescue, and he and my Leroy, had been in four fights, or "scuffles" over food! Charlie had a real food aggression, as he was homeless for a while, and had to fend for himself!

I warned Charlie each time, that if his behavior continued, I'd have to take him to the pound! I simply would NOT put up with my old Pit Bull being abused! He never started a fight in the whole time that I had him; but he did defend himself.

It took me off guard that Charlie would attack Leroy over the Bitch! Well, he did, and I wrapped my arms around Charlie's neck to pull him off of Leroy. I just saw Leroy falling on his back and reacted. However, at that moment, Leroy sat up, ready to fight back! And Yes, I put my hand right in his mouth. I clearly felt him bite down three times. It wasn't pretty.

Here's how it looks now, after three surgeries! That's right THREE! You know WHY? Because I thought I could take care of it myself. Yes, that was more stupid than trying to stop a dog fight with my hands!

It was a week before I gave in and went to the hospital. By that time, it was severely infected.






Still Healing, but a LOT better than it was! And my right hand is once again, my dominate hand. 

This experience that was not mentioned as one of Leroy's Adventures in my book.

Prayer for the pound puppy

A dog in a Forever Home

Our Mommy took good care of us

But then we all had to go

To someplace called "the pound."

Oh how we get so tired

Of listening to the sound.

There's always someone crying, barking, whining to be free.

Sometimes its Mommy.

 Her cry's as loud as can be.
 
Sometimes it's sister, and sometimes it's me.

The people come and go, and I cry up on the hill.

Someone left me here

For a crime I did not commit.

I pray someday I'll understand and accept it as God's will.

But Lord, I feel so all alone

As I used to have a home.

I know that God hears our prayers

I will kiss away their tears

And we will never be blue.

I know one day, my time will come

When I will have a home

And I prayer this time that

It will be

My Forever Home.

Calling all assisted living facilities - who wants to adopt a dog?

Assisted living facilities of all kinds, including homes for abused women, such as Harbor House. Also, any Homes for Humanity, or homeless shelters that may have people who would like to have a dog, but just can't afford it. A dog or cat can be fostered to companions for no cost. All food, medical needs and grooming will be provided as needed for each pet, through A Forever Home Animal Rescue.

Perspective adoptees, will be escorted through participating facilities every week. Residents will have an opportunity to visit with desired pets in their room. Trial runs are welcome, if a resident needs a day or two to "test run" a pet. At A Forever Home Animal Rescue there is a "satisfaction gaurantee" with every foster/adoption. That is, if anyone is not happy with their selected pet, they may, and are expected to be, returned to the shelter. Another one may be chosen, in its place.

The adoption fee will be waived for all participanting assisted living facilities, as the program is run just like foster homes. Normal adoption fees pertain to those adopting pets individually, and not in an assisted living facility.

There may need to be some chances made to the facility to accommodate a group of "hound home companions." Such as a fenced in area, and a doggy door. These items will be provided through donations to A Forever Home Animal Rescue.

If you would like to contribute to this cause, please leave a comment, with a way to contact you. If you would like to donate to this cause, please click on the button below.

And Thank You!
