A Fiver For Hope.....

Hope and her Babies Three are here and ensconced on the big Scream Porch. If you are just joining the story read HERE first, and then HERE for the Story So Far, about the beautiful Kitty who came to my porch, she'd been dumped in the woods for being in the family way and apparently had the babies in a garage down the street. We think we have a home for her, once the babies are grown enough, and may have homes for the babies too.

Which is good.

Very good, as it appears that Miss Not Into Family Planning may be having some more babies in the not too distant future. I'd asked last night for help with these vet bills and her spaying asking if people coming out here could donate a "Fiver for Hope" and I am beyond grateful for the responses from those of you not coming out but wanting to help. (And those coming!)

I am taking the Fivers in the mail only. I don't want to Paypal, as I don't want any monies going into my account and getting mixed up. All money goes to Hope and her kittens vet bills. Any left over goes in the Fiver for Hope Jar, to be used for the next one.

The address is:
Lorraine Garland
3208 W. Lake St
#419
Minneapolis, MN 55416

I'd wanted to bring her here so that she would not be going out nights partying and having more Babies, but it may be too late, I'll take her to the vet and see what they say. I know they can abort the Babies when they spay, but I don't think I can do that.

(Which should not be taken as my stance on abortion. I believe that is a choice ONLY the women concerned can make for herself, and she is the one who should make it.)

The Babies, as you can see, are beyond cute. Cute overload. They are smaller than I thought, two grey tabbies, and an ORANGE one, who has my heart. More friendly than you would expect, and they have taken to the litter box.

This is a textbook case study of SPAY/NEUTER YOUR PETS. Here is this lovely girl, hardly more than a year old, if that, on her second litter. She had seven babies, sadly, four were found dead, she couldn't take care of them. Now I am taking care of them all.

Anyone wanting to help, and send a Fiver For Hope, it would mean so much to me.

I made a promise. If they crossed my path, I would save them. And I will. I'll see her thru this, and find homes for these babies, and the new babies. And I will not be letting her out. And she will be getting spayed before she goes anywhere.

I know this story is being played out over and over, everywhere. I know most of you have Rescued, and taken on the Pets that nobody wanted. And it means something real. Very real.

It's about making a difference.

Love and Kittens, too many kittens,
Lorraine

At 19:04 Siri said...: Now that we've reached the epic 200, Q, I believe there was mention of a new post?

Maybe one about rocking last night, or riding, or the joys of not working 1 day in a row (I could wax eloquent about that, except I'm getting ready to work some more.
At 19:04 Siri said...: )

I hate when I leave out punctuation.
At 19:53 Beez said...: I figured all you smart people knew that Beez = Beezerbub on Twitter.

Yeah Q, that was me.

Bookstores are ON, Greg has slightly reduced hours since Dreamhaven moved but Uncle Hugo's is pretty close and they can both be done in one good field trip (or several repeat trips).

Midtown Global Market is right by U. Hugo's too and is a wonderful place to visit, especially for global goods and food....especially food.
At 20:02 Phiala said...: I had Thai spicy mango sauce for dinner, with MUCH sliced fresh mango in it. Oh, YUM. (Mine had shrimp, but was available with chicken or tofu.)

Very full.

But also remarkably pleased to be me. In general, not just due to the tasty dinner. Apparently I REALLY REALLY needed a vacation. I mean, I knew that, but... And after a few days of work... another vacation!
At 20:25 Wendy Withers said...: Happy Father's Day to everyone who has a father and everyone who is a father. I'm late, because I always forget about Father's Day. And, I just realized my phone was broken, so up until a few minutes ago, I was without internet access and didn't even know it. I just thought I was enjoying a quiet, unplugged Sunday with my mom's cat.
At 20:34 Ticia said...: To all virtual fiends who will be in attendence this next weekend via the interwebs:

I intend to bring my flip video camera which will download directly to my facebook and twitter accounts. I will have my laptop and my iphone. You KNOW what a twittering fool I am. :-D (Well, unless you're new, then I apologize in advance. Follow me at ticia42, if you dare!)

I hope to make little videos of the town and hotel and gatherings so you will all be a virtual part of our weekend.

We started as a virtual group, I don't think it should change just because a few of us will be physically in the same place. I just see more pictures and video in our fiendish future...
At 20:37 FabulousLorraine said...: Ticia, LOVE that idea, anyone who can should do the same, we want EVERYONE to be in one this, the more the better.

Oh, just for Siri, new post is up.
At 20:52 TO Browncoats said...: My that sounds like fun! Any trip where the assumption is that there will be a stop at a bookstore, sounds like fun.
Fluffy, I hear you about the councilman. I would have loved to have taken the little one and had her fixed but found out the whole story only after her owners had reclaimed her.
My big charity event was over yesterday with probably over $6,000 raised for Equality Now and after sleeping for 12 hours last night, I feel ready to rediscover my own life again.
First up, the Fiver goes in the mail tomorrow. Its U.S. even!
At 21:23 Fluffy said...: Oh, man, Tish - I'm going heavy on the makeup then. Don't want to scare any small children who might be in the room when your media are watched.

That awkward usage, that is.
At 21:27 Ticia said...: ::snort:: I won't be taking any unauthorized video. I can focus on "other things" and we can just hear you say "hi" to virtual fiends. And, for those too shy for talking, I'll bring 3x5 cards to write notes and funny pictures on. No pressures. No worries. :-D
At 00:29 spacedlaw said...: Great. Then we can have nice games of Guess Who's Who, then trips to the bookshops.
The challenge for you local fiends is to get me to taste my first Tamale ever. What with Jess' earworm, I really want to try one.

Not bringing my computer. My two daily blogs are already filled up with posts until the 5th July and LJ can wait or me (even Foodwatch).
At 08:27 Erin Underwood said...: The cuteness of those kittens breaks my heart! Born in a garage. Ugh!
At 19:03 Phiala said...: Tamales?? We can get tamales??? I may not eat anything else the entire time...

The only thing I miss about living in New Mexico is the food (and my friends!), and Fods, Bill's grandmother's tamales...
At 20:07 AletaMay said...: Here you will find a place in St. Paul with great tamales and more!
