“SAVING THE WORLD — ONE CAT AT A TIME!”
I love all critters, but cats and horses seem to be my totem animals.
The world is overrun with homeless cats; millions are euthanized yearly. I was among the first few volunteers with the Annex Cat Rescue and I did a bit of almost everything: coordination, adoption screening, trapping, fundraising, promo, fostering, etc. Here’s a link to some stories I wrote about ACR rescues I was involved with: Calypso, Yukon, Star, Howland Street Kali. I still foster and tame up feral kittens for ACR.
Check out this blog, about an amazing woman who rescues weekly from a high-kill pound in Ontario: http://www.catrescuer.blogspot.com/

DON’T LITTER, FIX YOUR CRITTER!

Tortoiseshells
I’ve got a special place in my heart for tortoiseshells because my first real cat, Prunella, was a tortie. When I first saw her odd little face, divided down the middle with a gold streak, I thought, never having seen a tortie before, “That is THE weirdest kitten I’ve ever seen!” But they were going to send all the barn cats to the pound, and in those days, they’d be put down within a few days. So I put her in a cardboard box, took her home — and proceeded to fall in love.
