Kitten Rescue

My friend found Olive on the side of the road and he couldn't keep her because his landlord doesn't allow pets.


I cannot help but save an animal since the time my two cats went missing in 2009.  I guess I will become the crazy cat lady when I'm old.


Immediately after I took her in I gave her a flea bath and combed out her fur.  She was infested with fleas and very skinny.  Thankfully she was eating solid kitten food, but she still wasn't pooping on her own.


Honestly I think every parent should go through a kitten fostering just to have a taste of what you go through with a real baby.  For about a week I would wake up every 3-4 hours to feed her and help pee/poop her.  When she finally did poop on my shirt on the second day I sighed with relief.


After about one week I took her to her first vet appointment.  Dr. McCall saw her for no charge and estimated she was about 4 weeks old at the time of the visit.  He was a wonderful vet who used his vast knowledge to encourage me to be as natural as possible.  I already had two cats and I try to buy organic and such for them, but it's nice to have a vet who agrees.

Batman and Olive

My boyfriend and I were unsure if we were going to keep Olive; three cats in a 650 sq. foot space can be pretty crowded.  This was until Batman, our medium haired black cat, literally adopted Olive like a single dad.  After this my boyfriend and I knew they were meant to be.

Right now Olive is about two months old and happily growing up in our house, chasing her tail like the cutie pie she is.  My other cat Anya stays relatively stoic when it comes to Olive, but I think Olive is growing on her.  

Sometimes I think magick just tends to find you in the most mundane places.  Seeing a living being grow up under your feet makes me feel like I'm watching creation happen before my eyes.  On a simpler note, Olive is just too cute not to love.


I have adopted many cats in my life, some by sheer want, others fell into my lap.  If you can adopt please do and if you ever have an opportunity to save a life, please try.


Have you ever rescued an animal?  If so, what was your experience?

Missing Cat Update

Name: Pie
Color: Orange and White Tabby
Last Seen: Walters Ave, Campbell, CA, 10/29
Distinct Markings: He is missing a left eye.

Pie is about five years old and has been missing for days. We really miss him and have checked the shelters. One picture looked promising but they were closed on Monday and by Tuesday either killed him or set him up for adoption. We are still looking and cannot stop crying, please help us find our cat!



***UPDATE***
Four days ago, 11/3/2009, he may have been seen at the Farm Milk Dairy @ 900 San Thomas Aquino Rd, Campbell, Ca

My One Eyed Cat is Still Missing

Both of my cats went missing on 10/27, we got one of them back, but the other is still at large.

Color: Orange and White Tabby Shorthair
Unique Feature: Missing Left Eye
Gender: Male (neutered)
Last Seen: 10/27 Campbell, Ca Walters Ave



We checked the local shelters, who only seem to care about licensing and beating you for every penny to bail out your cat.

How ridiculious is it when it costs over 150$ to bail out a cat and it costs 100$-55$ to adopt one? No wonder people abandon their pets in the shelter, it's cheaper to adopt another one than free their own.

We even thought we found him, and called the shelter, but they were closed on Monday, the last legal day they are obligated to hold our lost pet, so we couldn't pick him up until Tuesday.

However, there was no sign of him at the shelter on Tuesday and we were both mad, because how could we pick up our cat yesterday when they weren't open and we called telling them he was our cat?

I pray he wasn't euthanized and I hope we can find him.

We just haven't stopped crying, please help us find him.
