Love your comments! You made me laugh! (“Has this always been this color?”)
So….Friday, I went to work (at O-dark-hundred) like normal. And through the “tunnel” I saw this kitty run. So, I parked my car I went after her. Sweet, chatty, 6 month old-ish, fluffy, beautiful tortie with half a tail. Well, I got her to come to me and she appreciated the lovin’s. I tried getting her into a carboard box that I convinced someone to find for me…but she was having no part of it and was slipperier than an eel. I could not put her in my car for 8 hours “free”. So, I FB my co-shelter volunteers for someone to bring me a carrier and one of my favorite gals did (she really is the best). Well, by then, I lost track of the kitty (I named her Emily as she looks like a combination of my two torties Emma and Laney). I tried looking for her after work…nothing. I worried so over the weekend because of traffic and eagles and hawks here on the river. She is the perfect dinner size for them. I couldn’t find her over the weekend. So, this morning, I brought my carrier and some food. I called for her…nothing. I looked through the vast amount of grasses and shrubs. I feared she had moved on. I went back to my office, made up a sign so if someone saw her, they would call me. Then I asked God to take me to the spot I needed to be to find her. I went to go back into the building and my badge wouldn’t let me in. I must have badged in too many times too close together. So, I walked to the back if the building to try that door. There she was…meowing at me. I got her to follow me to my car with no food as a bribe. I opened my hatch and popped her into my carrier. I almost cried. PTL. Tomorrow, she goes to the shelter…she will not be a teenage-mom and she will get a loving home. She is the sweetest. However, she was howling her fool head off until I got food and water in the carrier…then her mouth was full and she shut up! LOL. I FB my fellow volunteers in hope someone can come to my work and get her so she doesn’t have to be in the carrier all day! I just had to share this good news. This is probably the best Monday I can remember! 🙂
Yes, best Monday news I could read! So glad it worked out so well! Thanks, GD !!
That is wonderful news!!!
A dear lady who volunteers at the shelter and lives near my work will be coming by in an hour to get her out of my car and foster for the day. I am so happy. She said that she worried about that kitty for me all weekend. 🙂 I bet she will be willing to take her to the shelter for me in the morning and I will just need to process her through in-take and get her A number so I can track her. 🙂
I really needed this happy story this morning. Thanks for sharing.
GD – you are awesome!
Great story. Thanks for making sure the kitty will have a wonderful future.
That is so wonderful! You and Emily are each other’s blessing!
What a relief for you, and what a lucky kitty!
Between today’s post and GD’s news, I’m feeling all is right in at least a couple of small corners of the world. Thanks!
YAY!
Hurray for you and Emily!!!
By the way, I saw this…super pricey, but I know that Fred is mega handy!! I thought you and your fans might like this: http://www.theverticalcat.com/L-Shaped-Window-Cat-Walk_p_47.html
The slightly raised eyebrow on Jake is delightful.
That second picture of Koko meowing would make a great Halloween mask!
I was reading the titles of past 2/22 posts and when I got to “dial it back, drama queen” I was all “bet that’s Alice Mo.” LOL
What Koko wants, Koko gets.
HAHAHAHA
