The Message

We thought our family might be expanding again when Sebastian and Reilly's new mom emailed saying they needed to give them back due to the fact that her husband is getting laid off from work soon. We made plans to meet next weekend to pick them up and bring them back home. However, the next day she emailed again saying they'd decided to keep them, they love them and when they adopted them, it was for forever. We are so happy because the boys seem very happy with them and they email me updates weekly. It's just a very scary and uncertain time for their family right now.

Dixie Dog got a new bed over the weekend. Maizy is even letting her sleep in this one a little bit.

We would like to thank our great friend, Marg for this awesome award. Thanks Marg, we will proudly display it in our trophy room!! If you haven't met Marg and her pets yet, please do so. Marg is a fellow rescuer who does wonderful work in her community! We would like to pass this along to all of our friends because we think all of your blogs are the best!

Happy Thanksgiving!


P.S. We have no clue who the new black kitty is. He/she has shown up the past couple of nights and has been eating out of Spunky the neighbor's bowl. We will keep an eye on him/her and see if they need to be TNR'd. Hopefully, it's just an owned cat from another neighborhood, just passing through for a free meal.

Who Let The Dogs Out

This photo should be biggified for full blue eyed effect.

Here are some dogs from the Jumble sale on Saturday. They're cute, but not as cute as we are! The BCCP raised $327.00 for the kitties!! YAY!

The "Tootlebug" painting did not find a new forever home at the Jumble sale, so the lady has listed it on her new etsy shop and will donate 50% of the proceeds to BCCP, which equals the same price she put on it at the sale. She has also listed a few other paintings with a portion of the proceeds going to BCCP for TNR.

Into The Groove - Update with correct link!

***Thanks to Jan's Funny Farm for letting us know our raw food link was incorrect. We have now fixed it!***
Well, we've made a little progress with the raw food. I mixed about a teaspoons worth into their Wellness canned food and no one noticed, except Maggie May. She would only eat a tiny bit of the food before turning up her nose and walking off. She's gonna be a tough one!
I am thankful for the help we've gotten from several bloggers who also feed raw. Daisy the Curly Cat and Busby and Raymond have helped to answer some of the questions I've had. Our friend Drew from World's Best Cat Litter was so kind to email me a link to an awesome raw food website, Feline Nutrition Education Society.Tomorrow the BCCP will be participating in a jumble sale at the historical grounds. We'll be selling homemade note cards featuring photographs and artwork from the volunteers. I will also try to sell my newest painting to help the feral kitties get TNR'd! But, if it doesn't sell, I'm sure I can find a spot on my wall for it. Be sure to stop by Maggie May's blog today. She has a great post about the Shelter Pet Project!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Raw Power

Last week the lady went nutzo and made us some raw food using a premix she bought online. She spent over an hour preparing the meals and only two of us ate it, Ferris and Chevelle. The rest of us only picked at it and walked away. She is going to try giving us some more soon. In the meantime, we are going to enjoy our Wellness canned food. The yard sale for the BCCP went great! They raised nearly $2000.00 for TNR!!

We hope to have Movie Monday next week when things settle down a bit.

Tomorrow is the big Stuff For Strays Fall fundraising yard sale for the BCCP. It had to be rescheduled from last month because of the weather. We are hoping for a big turn out and hope lots of money will be raised for Trap-Neuter-Return!

Forever Autumn

Meet Autumn.... she is the last of Ladybug's kittens to get TNRed. Notice the .....well, I was going to say, notice the left ear tip, but looks like the vet accidentally tipped the right ear instead....Oops! Anyway, on Monday, Autumn's caretaker called the me (I work 2 businesses down) and said he trapped the last kitten using bacon! Bacon, really? I ran over and got her and by lunchtime, Autumn was in surgery! She has been recovering in our "foster room" and will be released today back with her mom and siblings. Doesn't she look just like a long-haired Sebastian?!?!

Welcome To The Jungle - Movie Monday and Big News



This is the sequel to Saylor's You Spin Me Round movie. As you will see toward the end, Saylor has started dive bombing the other kitties, LOL!
***BIG HUGE NEWS***
We have big huge news! Saylor is now an official Creek Cat! The man's 30th birthday was yesterday and the lady surprised him with a Pink Floyd CD and Saylor's signed adoption agreement on Halloween cause she couldn't wait one more day! He was beyond thrilled! Welcome to the family, Saylor, you're the purrfect new addition!!!

Halloween would have been Cal's 11th birthday. Happy birthday at the bridge, Cal. We love and miss you!

P.S. 3 of Ladybug's 4 kittens were spay/neutered at the clinic over the weekend!! In all 39 cats were TNRed!! The lady was unable to help cause she was in bed all weekend. She feels much better now. Thanks so much for the healing purrs.
