Two Orphaned Cats - Can you Help???

[Bari_d]

Good idea...a little drama might be just the thing - especially with all the controversy around the killing of all cats in the area.

Oh Bari, you DO flatter me so

I just talked to Eric and he has graciously offered to speak to the newspapers. I'm also going to try the local tv stations as well.

I'm off and running again! I'll let ya know what happens.

[moosmom]

I've contacted 4 tv stations and am awaiting return calls. KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

Absolutily Donna ~~I am that Contact Person " Eric Schickendantz 330-864-2879 [email protected] Akron Ohio

What EVER It takes to find these guys a home !!! I can also drive then to a new home. This one we have to win !!! Every thing else is going against them right now ~~ One hell of an uphill battle ~~~ Here in Akron even kittens are going unadopted we are so overwhelmed with that new Trap & Kill law. We need a small Cat Miracle here in Akron Ohio ~~~

Please Read Freddy's Story ~~~~~ http://www.cathappy.com/Rescue1.htm

Logan ~Thank you for you caring words ~ Helps alot

[moosmom]

I spoke with my editor here at the Hartford Courant about the Akron ordinance and gave him a copy of it. He is going to run something in our newspaper, for what it's worth. Just thought you'd like to know.

BTW Eric, you should be getting a phone call from a gentleman by the name of John Bell. He is the news director at Channel 19 in Cleveland. Maybe this is our saving grace

[Eric]

Thank you Donna ~~~ I'll say a prayer that he calls ~~~

[Rachel]

This is such a sad situation. As I have two dogs in their middle years, this is my worst fear.

[Eric]

MOOSMOM ~~~~ Ya got through Girl ~~~ BLESSINGS TO YOU ~~~ Scott at Cannel 19 in Cleveland Ohio called me and they MAY do a story. They have been doing work with "Save our Cats" in Akron ~~~ Say a prayer ~~~~~I CAN'T thank you enough for this chance for Freddy and Puddy ~~~~~ I will keep you posted ~~~ Namaste ~

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

That's such good news, Eric. Moosmom, you're an angel! I can't believe that someone won't adopt them after seeing them and hearing their story on TV. All paws, fingers & tails crossed here that Freddy & Puddy find a new forever home!

[Bari_d]

This actually gives us some hope here...not only for Freddy and Puddy, but other cats/kittens in the Akron area to be saved!!!

Eric, I know you are thrilled with the possibility to really get the WORD out there - We'll keep praying for Freddy and Puddy and for all the precious furrbabies in similar and even worse situations there - there are hundreds dying each WEEK!!! I look forward to your next update!

Bari et al

Freddy and Puddy's story...www.cathappy.com/Rescue1.htm

[Eric]

A Flightless Bird called Faith
began to carry boulders:
for years she took these weights
strapped between her shoulders
and as you might expect
the sweat poured like a Fountain
but only time will tell
if Faith can move a Mountain ...........

[moosmom]

Thanks everyone! I didn't do it for me, but for Puddy and Freddy. I'm saying a little prayer that with the exposure they get on TV, they'll find a home. How can they not??? And besides, I love a challenge.

Eric, again, it was a pleasure talking to you. If they don't go along with showing the cats at their house, let me know and I'll make other phone calls to other stations. Hopefully we can find someone who's willing to do that. Also, if the lawyer gives you a hard time, call the Bar Association. Another suggestion would be to call the guy's aunt and have her present. Since she was his aunt, she should be able to call the shots at some point.

Stay safe.

I spoke with the Program Director at WEWS Channel 5 in Cleveland. He said that they have a program every other Tuesday that features pets for adoption. I told him the story of Puddy and Freddy and he said that as long as the cats are healthy and don't have aids or leukemia, they will feature them on their next program!!!! I gave him Eric's number and am waiting anxiously!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

That's wonderful news, Donna! The more the word can get out about these two, the more likely they will be adopted. Thanks for doing all the "leg work" on this. You're really a savior and I don't know how you're going to give all this up once you move to MI. Seems you really thrive on it.

[moosmom]

Yeah, I do thrive on it. But I also am burned out. I've been in animal rescue for 4 years and have fostered ALOT of cats (my back bedroom has been referred to as the kitten room and has almost never been without a cat or kitten in it.) I also did alot of PR work for a rescue organization here in CT. My kid was shocked when I told her I'll be glad when I move to Michigan and leave all the rescue behind me. Now, whether or not I volunteer at a shelter when I get there is totally another story . But for the time being, I'm going to take a long needed break.
