The Cat Garden Rescue

Meet Arthur a little, strong, 12 oz tabby from the Pinole Creek. A lady who was walking her dog heard him crying. She waited for a while before picking him up. She went back for more kittens but there were none. He knows how to lap milk and tries to eat a bit. Our hope is for him to be with Rocco in one week after deworm, etc. They have the exact same weight. 12 oz, but we are told that Rocco is more than 4 weeks and I feel this guy is in the same boat. More to come on both of them.

This story had a happy ending. And we were very surprised. A few weeks ago a lady brought this cat to us for his neuter appt. She had trapped trained him and it worked perfect. She drove up and I took the trap out of her car when the cat jumped out of trap. The lady had not secured the door and the door had been put in backwards. I saw the cat run across the street through a neighbor's yard and gone. Nothing could be done. I put food out daily but cat never returned. I got a message a week later from the lady. This cat found his way home! We are in Pinole. Cat is from Hercules about a mile or so down a really busy road. We were shocked this cat must have ran for days with no food or water. What a smart cat.

Murphy is now with us. We are addressing his upper respiratory infection and he has a neuter appointment next week. Absolutely a sweet heart. Didn’t cry and seems to really like being inside. We need to get his mama ….

5 more cats went for spay/neuter today at Contra Costa Animal Services. We always appreciate the appts. 4 females and one male. TNR ROCKS!

Hi animal lovers,
In Richmond Ca. Anyone could foster snowshoe mama and her kitten? Discarded at a big apartment complex. People took the other 3 kittens because they were super cute to them. She had already 2 litters. People left this one with a slight URI Please share! We can’t get them off the street without your help.

Sheila E in her new home. Was at the rescue for over 2 years. She went to vets probably 12 times. UC Davis removed her polyp and cleared her eyes from Horner’s Syndrome. Most vets were worried about that. She always will have her 3rd eyelid slightly in the way, but nothing to worry about. My friend Diane J took her in 3 weeks ago. We can see her tracker just in case. Sheila is doing well and is happy to have less kitties. Here in Orinda she will have a male her age with the same coloring. We hope they will become friends little by little. Thank you Diane.

Dash is available in Hercules CA for adoption as long as there is another young kitty at her furrever home . She would love to be adopted with one of her siblings if possible . She is sweet, she has a gentle personality and likes to explore carefully her surroundings. She is healthy, fixed and vaccinated. She might seem shy in the beginning but is able to bond to you fast once she feels safe.PLEASE SHARE!

Update : this little boy, drank 7 ml of replacement milk, was bathed and flea combed and had one tick removed. He is a polydactyl and will become our best rock climbing champion. Great job Laila! She will tell us his name when it comes to her and her kids.

7 cats going Saturday to Contra Costa Animal Services for their big spay/neuter clinic this weekend. We are always grateful for the appointments. We are helping many people and are steady trapping working down our list. So many more to go..TNR ROCKS!
