    Puddy

    Hello Donna ~
    I have been busy with a new Gallery space for my Tribal Arts business ~ Puddy is great and we still need a home for her. I will see her Monday. We have had a few Fur emergencies with my kitty "Sheba" and Mary's "Specs" ~ We have had our hands full. I am going to put a listing in the Akron paper for Puddy this week. I will be back up on this post Monday. Thanks Eric

    A little update...For Puddy

    Hello friends. I think we should probably start a new thread now just for Puddy. We need to actively start the process again to get her a good, loving furrever home. In an email this morning from Eric, one of his precious Maine Coons, 14 year old Sheba, is very ill...sometimes the clouds just don't let much sunshine through.

    Please pray for Sheba and Eric.

    I have quickly updated the web page to focus on Puddy...we may make some changes/enhancements when Eric has time, but it is important that we begin to circulate Puddy's need for a home as quickly as possible. She is running out of time.

    http://www.cathappy.com/Rescue1.htm

    As we close this chapter on the plight of Freddy and Puddy, I will talk with Eric about starting a new thread for Puddy.

    God bless you all for your help and encouragement.

    Bari and the Pride

    Important Rescue 911 ~~~Help

    Please Help !! where will this happen next??? ~~~Czicat & I signed this ~~ Thanks for looking ~ Eric
    {This is happening in Akron Ohio right now !!! http://www.saveourcats.org/ }


    Here is the San Pedro Petition
    http://www.petitiononline.com/spfcc2/petition.html

    please forward and cross-post. let's get the word out!

    An update for everyone

    Lauren and just returned from a very intense and urgent meeting with key
    persons who will be involved in saving the lives of the cats at White
    Point
    in San Pedro, California.The cats will be trapped by a private
    exterminating
    company (not Dept. of Animal Services). ?Refer to
    www.peninsulapetrescue.com
    for updates.

    Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors has hired them to
    remove
    and exterminate the cats. ?Mary Kaleta, the person who has been
    responsibly
    caring for some 60 cats was notified of this on Monday 8-19-02. ?Mary and
    the
    ladies who have been with her for several years feeding the feral cats at
    White Point, went to an attorney this a.m. and paid $2,000.00 to see if an

    injunction could be obtained to give us some time. ?It is Wednesday
    evening
    and they are to begin trapping and exterminating on Monday. ?As far as we
    know, there are no guidelines on how they exterminate the cats as they are

    not under city jurisdiction, such as Department of Animal Services, where
    they would be taken to a shelter.

    In addition to maintaining and managing her feral cat colony, Mary has
    spent
    a considerable amount of time and money to build little insulated shelters
    to
    blend in with the environment into the large boulders on the beach. ?It
    took
    several months of measuring, etc., to provide a safe and warm place for
    the
    cats to stay. ?This was authorized and given the go ahead by Dan Knapp.
    ?The
    lifeguard, Kenny Atkins, who has just recently come to this beach, pulled
    out
    and destroyed all of the shelters she had worked so hard to put in place.
    He
    is also the person who has instigated this entire pogrom. ?We are not
    clear
    as to what his motives are.

    It was heartbreaking to see the cats hiding in the boulders without proper

    shelter with winter coming. ?Under the best circumstances, their lives are

    meager and they look forward to their food and shelter and the loving care
    of
    the caretaker to go there every morning, rain or shine, to put out their
    food. ?The beach is mainly rocks and tide pools, not much of a sandy area.
    ?
    You would hardly know they were there and have been for 20 years in
    comparative peace - until now.

    If you would like to comment on the petition, you can contact
    the author of the petition by email, at:

    Puddy Update ~ Sat. 9AM
    Sorry to all I have not been posting ~ My new shop opens on September 1st and I have been very busy.

    Puddy's home sold Thursday. Irene {the 85 years Aunt} is having seconds thoughts about having Puddy go to Michigan or Iowa. She wants a home in Ohio for her. When it came down to the wire she is getting cold feet. She has becoming very attached to Puddy and I think lonesome herself. I am not happy after all the work we have done to find Puddy a home. BOTH Iowa and Michigan are GREAT forever homes and either one would be wonderful for Puddy. I think Irene is going through allot and I have to be understanding of her thinking. She was worried she would never see Puddy again. Irene is thinking of herself and not Puddy at this point~ but there is only so much I can say. I want to have puddy in the BEST home and I have found TWO!! I am to meet with Irene Monday and will know more then. Puddy has to be out of the home September 23rd. This is frustrating for me and I am working on a solution. Eric

    Eric....do what you think is best

    Puddy is the object of concern......and if the Aunt wants Puddy then fine, but otherwise, I think, that you have to get that sweet kitty in the right home asap. The Aunt will get over it and I am not sure all folks at 85 do much long term thinking.

    Of course you should do what your heart tells you to do.

    I don't think anyone here would think ill of you if you decide one way or the other, they just want Puddy and you happy.

    So go for it Eric. Your heart is in the right place and you will use your good judgement, I am sure.

    Good luck with your new opening too!

    Keep us posted on every little thing....we love hearing from you.

    Final Chapter Freddy & Puddy

    Hello All
    I spoke with Irene at length yesterday and feel better about this decision. " she is keeping Puddy"
    Donna {Moosmom} made it to Michigan and will be posting soon. I wanted another home for Puddy either with Donna or Becky in Iowa but the universe had other plans I guess. I just wish Irene would have decided this in the beginning. I asked her a hundred times if there was any way she could take Puddy and Freddy. Now she has changed her mind. Puddy is only 4 years old and Irene is 85. I am going to help Irene in the future and if anything happens ~ I stand ready to take Puddy myself ~~~ This is the best I can do. I am disappointed, but Puddy is not my cat and I have done all I can. I am so thankful for all the new friends from this Post and will stay in contact with all of you.
    It is wonderful to know there are so many of you who cared { over 3000 hits on the Freddy post WOW } so many loving caring souls who have tried to help ~ who have given there Love and support for Freddy and Puddy and ME !!! I will NEVER forget all the kindness and Emails. Never!!! I will go on with my rescues after a few day off with Mary this weekend to the beach somewhere in the Carolinas ~~~ MY LOVE TO YOU ALL Bari_d *** moosmom ~ Tubby & Peanut's Mom ~Karen~Randi~ lynnestankard ~Casper & Kitty ~Logan~ czicat ~ Abbie ~ sasvermont ~ AmberLee ~ wolflady ~ and many more ~~~ Your support has meant the world to me and Freddy & Puddy. Freddy DID get his forever home, and is free of pain now.
    Blessed are the Purr in Heart ~ my Love to all of you ~~Eric Schickendantz ~ [email protected] Akron Ohio

    Oh Eric! I am sickened by the inhumanity of all of it!! I hope they find whoever is doing this. I am speechless. I honestly don't know what to say. What can I do to help??

    I'm so glad to see you're back posting. One question...do you ever go to the Gabraltar Trade Center in Wyandotte, MI to sell your stuff? If you do, please let me know. I'll stop by.

    Tell me what I can do about this %$#@!*~! pig that is killing innocent cats. I'll be glad to do whatever I can.

    I was unable to read all of the horrible story...I can't begin to understand how people can do these things. There has to be a special place in hell for them.

    Eric, I know you're off to NY today to take one Maine Coon and pick up another getting them to foster/permanent homes, so travel safely, and upon you return, please do let us know what we can do in this situation...

    To Donna for MooShoo

    Donna, on a happier note, I thought of MooShoo when I saw PetSmart's ad this morning for sweaters...this one is cute if it comes kitty size!

    Bari,

    Actually the sweater I got him was on sale for $5.00 and is for a medium dog (the little porker is now 12 pounds!!!). That's a great sweater though.

    To show you how spoiled he is, I bought him a padded kitty tent to keep him warm in the house too. What we do for our pets.
