I wanted to meet Kelly's kitties, but not this way!!

I received a phone call from Kelly early this morning. The Calabasas fire is approaching her area and they have closed all of the area schools.

She has a Dr.'s appointment this morning at the hospital where she had her surgery. The hospital isn't very far from me.

She asked if she could bring her kitties for safety to my home.
Of course, I told her yes and quickly made arrangements in a guestroom to let them roam free.

They are all here now - and I don't think that Rascal, Annie and Emma are aware that they have guests. :D But introductions somehow don't seem appropriate right now.:D

After she left I went into the room to be sure that they are all alright. I only found two - Noah is very beautiful and aggressive - he let me know his displeasure over the entire event.
I think three kitties have found safe haven under the sofa.

So right now I am an eight kitty household. I will try to take some pictures later when Kelly returns.

The plan is to take all the kitties to her Mom's home which isn't in an area of fire danger. They will come back here after the Dr.'s appointment.

OMG! Bless your heart, Gini. I didn't realize the fires were that close to Kelly! I was shocked to read that her mom is actually going to let her bring the kitties to her home later! :eek:

I hope everything is ok!
**hugs**

Gini, I wasn't aware of a fire in Kelly's area. I hope that everything will turn out okay.:( I'm so glad that you could take Kelly's cats in so that they'll be safe. They're wonderful kitties but I'm sure that they'll just scared and very confused right now. Good luck. It sure sounds like you've got your hands full.:)

I've been worrying about all of you out in CA today!
I'm so glad you can give Kelly's kitties a safe haven, if only for a while. She sure doesn't need to worry about them right now.

Stay safe all of you!
(((HUGS)))

Gini, it's wonderful that you can have Kelly's kitties while the fire is blazing. :( I bet they're not happy about the arrangement, but they'll calm down.

I saw a video on CNN.com, it looks really bad! :( Hope you'll all be safe! How far is it from you?

Hugs and headbumpies from us.

L.A. is so huge - and during the day it would take me roughly an hour to drive to her home. At night - less traffic - maybe 45 minutes.

The fear is that the wind will kick up - which it does in the morning - it is 9:45 am here. The embers are just huge and they can quickly start other fires.

But the fires are close to Kelly's area. Because she would be away from home she wanted them to be safe just in case.

Karen, Kelly's Mom was here - and she mentioned that the kitties will have to stay in their carriers at her house. I don't think she or her husband care much for cats.

THE WONDERFUL THING,ABOUT BEING,ON PET TALK,IS SEEING HOW UNSELFISH,THE PET TALKER ARE,AND READY,TO LEND A HELPING HAND,TO A FELLOW CAT LOVER.
THAT MUST BE VERY UPSETTING,FOR KELLY,TO HAVE HER HOME THREATENED,BY FIRE,WHILE SHR IS RECUPERATING,FROM HER ILLNESS.
IT MUST BE A TREMENDOUS LOAD,OFF HER MIND,TO KNOW,THAT HER CATS,ARE SAFE,AND SOUND.

YOU HAVE EARNED A GOLD STAR,AT THE RAINBOW BRIDGE!!

OMG, Kelly has been through so much lately, and now this! :(

Gini, it's wonderful that you're taking care of her kitties. Poor Noah must be so confused when he's acting like this!

I am happy to see that Kelly's cats are safe while she is at the hospital! Thank you for that Gini :) . I hope they don't have to stay in their carriers for to long, as NO cat really enjoys that... :D

So glad you were able to take the kitties in to your home. I so hope her mom givens in alittle and lets the furry kids at least roam in one room instead of being in carriers.

I will take our snow/ice anyday. I couldnt handle earth quakes or forest/brush fires.

Gini, thank you for being there for Kelly and her "kids". I know that any thanks you get from us are minimal compared to the thanks you get from Kelly. I simply don't know what she will do if she must move to her parent's home and keep those kitties crated. How could one do that??? :confused:

Thanks for being there. You are the GREATEST!!!!!!!! And I would do the same thing if I weren't a world away, right now.

Logan

Bless ya Gini. :)

It's fantastic that you could arrange that, and that the kitties are safe.:)

Hey, everyone, I didn't start this thread to get a lot of thank you's ..............I just wanted you to know of yet another challenge dumped in Kelly's lap.

There isn't a one of you out there who wouldn't have said YES!
Poor Michah had pooped in his carrier - I cleaned it up - it didn't phase me.............but I felt sorry for his humiliation.

I hope to be able to get to pet each one once Kelly returns.
I don't want to upset them any more than they already are.
The room they are in - is the same room that my gang hang out in all of the time. So even being in that room must be upsetting for them. Kelly sprayed the room with Feliway in hopes of calming them down.

Lut, they aren't in carriers at my home - but if she takes them back to her Mom's house - they may have to stay in the carriers until the fire danger is gone.

Hey Gini,

Can I bring Ed over?

Just for fun?:rolleyes:

That's all you need.

TROUBLE.


You are the hostess with the mostess.....:)
