If you know anything about DV situations, a lot of people won't leave because there are very few shelters that will take animals and they fear what will happen if they are left behind. </p><p>A friend asked if I could take them since I didn't have fosters at the time. While I always want to help, I do have limits and mine is there has to be some sort of rescue backup for vetting and adoption placement. That fell into place and I agreed to go pick them up and foster. </p><p>Now, here is where I will add a couple of caveats - first, we all should have asked a few more questions about "kittens" and the weather. We have gotten snow here in Ohio but it is clear where I live so I didn't really think about it. The woman did say maybe we should wait a few days, but that made me nervous. Also, this is not my first rodeo so while I agreed to go get them, I was taking someone with me. </p><p>We drove about an hour, found the turn off and realized we were driving onto a track of driveway not really a great road and there were no other tire tracks. But we had made it that far and decided to just finish up and not have to worry about trying to come back. We drove down the road, turned left onto what we thought was another drive way and ended up having to park a ways from the house since it was snow and I didn't want to risk getting stuck in their front yard. </p><p>My friend and I trekked to the house with the carriers I brought and the lady came to the door. We got 3 kittens into carriers (after realizing they were about 5 months old - so again, ask a few questions. we still would have taken them, but I would have brought bigger carriers) She had mom in a pop up crate and said we could just take that. But one kitten was loose in the house. She tried to get it and came back out and said she couldn't. </p><p>We weren't comfortable waiting around so headed back to the car. As we were loading up, she yelled she had the last one. We got that one safely in a carrier, wished her well and got in my car to head out. </p><p>We got almost back to the top of the hill when the front wheels lost traction and we started to spin. Back up and try again, to no avail. We did notice a slightly flatter line off to my left so we backed up and tried to make a run at that.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvKUKxjoVVBXDwrWcQnToCi5gLMqnXid9pfBcAUhhxB-szDPQG1jJD_Uoqjuw6WxITudrtY-P_otJucxuWDOpZY1-J3-i4kF6epfy50KeDO6SQdt7xQt9EUtnyXGVTAXyXWSK7aj4m5EFyHWlsp2plj9Jcw8CD-yk01mq18n0q0w2a-LKc34sh3u-EnL_/s4000/20240120_145510.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfvKUKxjoVVBXDwrWcQnToCi5gLMqnXid9pfBcAUhhxB-szDPQG1jJD_Uoqjuw6WxITudrtY-P_otJucxuWDOpZY1-J3-i4kF6epfy50KeDO6SQdt7xQt9EUtnyXGVTAXyXWSK7aj4m5EFyHWlsp2plj9Jcw8CD-yk01mq18n0q0w2a-LKc34sh3u-EnL_/s320/20240120_145510.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p>Nope - we ended up sliding sideways, perpendicular to the driveway and about a foot from a fairly large tree. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VgCV22tYQBZq828FocMZftUczvL0XzHD_mZeLcKoT0NSt4j9aqPt8-T_cyw6Wv5FGSs5FNRk1yBt2UxNSd0uh9MwbNIImV47Y4_44tGF8J9Zm4n5guur8ikG90SMVv6tsbFjIAsOfDHikipnD4PFK9tRAgzIbdV8eF0WM2YYldK5iBtasbHhDxXXpf8y/s4000/20240120_145504.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VgCV22tYQBZq828FocMZftUczvL0XzHD_mZeLcKoT0NSt4j9aqPt8-T_cyw6Wv5FGSs5FNRk1yBt2UxNSd0uh9MwbNIImV47Y4_44tGF8J9Zm4n5guur8ikG90SMVv6tsbFjIAsOfDHikipnD4PFK9tRAgzIbdV8eF0WM2YYldK5iBtasbHhDxXXpf8y/s320/20240120_145504.jpg" width="240" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thankfully we still had cell service so after a quick search we found a tow company and they said they could be out in about 30 minutes. Nothing to do now but wait. We kept our eyes open since we weren't too far from the house and had no idea who else lived back there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thankfully the tow truck showed up fairly quickly and they got us turned around and facing uphill. However, neither of us could get traction at the same spot I had gotten stuck earlier. He had me back and and as he was about to make another run, the kid with him walked up to that flatter line we had seen earlier and announces "it a driveway" - yep rocks and gravel and everything. The truck got a start and made it up there then reattached the winch and pulled us up to the flatter run that went straight back to the road. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yes - we left them a really good review on google. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We finally made it home but upon letting everyone out at my house, we discovered mom is not a fan of the kittens and was hissing and growling at them. Not really surprising considering their ages. My friend agreed to take mom to her house since she has a cage space where mom could decompress. <br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBuSqFRs9WGR9ovY_38HbjI17xeeiRAQA8vBnQesck30dV9HEAPhSLu6ERJZrOQPPmXbuXmvMFKEs1yhuE-Rw5NeAHO8tv70ZV6sFKQOHEuiJfqR2fdSMx6t9DwjWf5G2G_wxf0tEGE4aOfjSnKRAbTBCNdwX0NagO6jyORDEf1-CEqtETJD292Az5gyl/s2182/20240120_182812.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2182" data-original-width="1855" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXBuSqFRs9WGR9ovY_38HbjI17xeeiRAQA8vBnQesck30dV9HEAPhSLu6ERJZrOQPPmXbuXmvMFKEs1yhuE-Rw5NeAHO8tv70ZV6sFKQOHEuiJfqR2fdSMx6t9DwjWf5G2G_wxf0tEGE4aOfjSnKRAbTBCNdwX0NagO6jyORDEf1-CEqtETJD292Az5gyl/s320/20240120_182812.jpg" width="272" /> </a></p><p style="text-align: center;">Meet Merritt - named after the towing company <br /></p><p> We did pick up Chinese for dinner since it ended up being an entire afternoon adventure not just a couple of hours.

They are a little shy but fairly social. Mom is also social. There are 2 boys and 2 girls. Mom and the girls will be spayed on Friday, the boys neutered a little later when we can get appointments. </p><p>Either way, they are all safe and I hope the lady now feels she can get out and get somewhere safer. I don't know her circumstances and I wasn't going to ask. But I hope this little bit of kindness helped her. <br /></p>Random Felineshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591546634183113556noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048142180280267442.post-30905066249162270952024-01-22T06:30:00.001-05:002024-01-22T06:30:00.132-05:00Newbies<p> There is a longer story to this that mom will tell in a couple of days, but on Saturday we got some new recruits in the foster room.

No more meds for the ringworm. They are scheduled right now to go back to the shelter on Thursday for surgery. Not sure if they will go up for adoption after that or come back for final test results.

Even Boba wasn't sure what to do with him at times.

But what about others? What about the non-kittens: the older ones, the shy ones, bonded pairs, differently abled? Often overlooked by most, especially if they aren't outgoing and trying to catch the attention of people walking through a shelter or adoption center. <br /></p><p>After over 20 years in rescue, I can tell you one very important thing: the cats that have been at a shelter the longest or seem more shut down are the ones that need you the most. And once they are home and feeling secure, they are the ones that will be the most appreciative. I can't begin to tell you the number of times people have said they were glad to have taken a chance on the ones no one else were looking at and then realized how much love they received once the cat decompressed. It may not be a quick process but it is always worth it. For reference, the common belief it can take 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to adjust to new routines and 3 months to really relax in their new home. And these are just suggestions - each cat is different. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ0gbqXLExOYYrn_ZUMyHTrL9HKQxrY4YsKCtISeF8QSf5YlbX30HaBbFWG4zz2bQvtjR40aI-UKM4sxaiNFtJ8cMtluzMOaylqH0GC8a1w259YgYtVA-dt7WHV7t5xnTW7KKzeIavnlvjbK8I5WIHnk2HTwphJONvaZRlANXvOjEp64Zfu4nJqjTkEuNM/s2622/0926231054_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2622" data-original-width="2418" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ0gbqXLExOYYrn_ZUMyHTrL9HKQxrY4YsKCtISeF8QSf5YlbX30HaBbFWG4zz2bQvtjR40aI-UKM4sxaiNFtJ8cMtluzMOaylqH0GC8a1w259YgYtVA-dt7WHV7t5xnTW7KKzeIavnlvjbK8I5WIHnk2HTwphJONvaZRlANXvOjEp64Zfu4nJqjTkEuNM/s320/0926231054_HDR.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><p>If you have the time and patience and right household, you will be rewarded so many times over. You can always search <a href="https://www.petfinder.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Petfinder</a> for cats in your area. You can search by zip code and then narrow it down from there. </p><p>Keep in mind - if you can't adopt, rescues always need other forms of help. Money donations are always welcome and most rescues have wish lists on amazon or chewy.
