Today is the first celebration of World Cat Day
What a wonderful day to welcome Sweetie Pie & Ethan to their forever home!
Mom Leigh-Ann runs the Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary in Las Vegas. On Friday, she saw a frightened, injured kitty on Craigslist and her heart went out to him. He was located in Los Angeles and she emailed KC at the Cat Blogosphere to see if she could help get him to Las Vegas.
KC sprang into action and immediately suggested Mom Karen, Auntie Deb and I for the "death row" rescue. We did this a few years ago for a yellow-dotted KC at a shelter not far from this one!
Veronica, of East Valley Shelter, is a very nice lady who was very happy to see Sweetie Pie get a forever home. She extended the offer to make it a "twofur" adoption and Leigh-Ann chose Ethan, a ten-year old cat with bad teeth. Isn't he handsome!
We had lots of support in getting the word out fast from an old friend, Celene of Hurricane Pet Rescue. In a matter of minutes, she had notified hundreds of cat lovers like Lark, Kim and Cindy, all of whom were eager to help.
Deb and I are financing this wonderful adventure ourselves and Karen is donating her only day off in a six-day work week.
Donations can be made for Sweetie Pie & Ethan at the Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary for their expenses and vet bills. There is also a link directly to their vet.
Donations are also welcome at LA's East Valley Shelter (KC was from the neighboring Harbor Shelter) and Hurricane Pet Rescue (scroll down to find the donate buttons). These are non-profit organizations, so all donations are tax-deductible.
We wish we could give them all unlimited funds so every stray cat and dog could have a loving home.
Have a very Happy World Cat Day
and
Happy Gotcha Day to Sweetie Pie and Ethan!

All we can say is God bless! Bless you all for saving these sweet kitties from death row.
Happy World Cat Day!
You guys are the best! Made our eyes leak.
There's a Special Place in Heaven for Beans who come to the aid of homeless kittehs and woofies. Mommy Karen, Auntie Deb, Loving ML and all those involved have again made a rescue possible.
We hear that Ahhhnold Schwartenager (sp? who cares??) has shortened the time anipals have in shelters in California from 5-7 days to 3. As if that will solve the budget fiasco in that state. The Terminator, indeed.
On this First World Cat Day, blessings all around The Cat Blogosphere!

Your FL furiends,
Thank you to everyone at CB for their hard work in rescuing Sweetie Pie and Ethan, and thanks to all of you for your kind words and donations. I will write thank you notes to everyone who donated, but it might take me a few days to get caught up with all the activity going on here. We were hoping the two cats would arrive in Vegas this afternoon, but it looks like they might be delayed a few days while they get spayed and neutered. I promise the CB will have some happier photos of the cats as soon as they've been cleaned up and given a good meal! Happy World Cat Day!
This is just the purriest way to celebrate World Cat Day! When members of the CB can step in to save lifes, it's amost unbeliefable. It is sad to fink of ofur, less fortunate kitties, but one step at a time. Purrs to efurryone involved in this rescue.
what a great day today is! those are some lucky kittehs!
How magnificent! I've been slow getting to email lately, and it's very nice to be reading this post right after reading the email asking for help.
Thank you, again and again, ML and Deb, for your continuing rescue work.
We love you both!!!
