Last night right at dinner time there was a knock on our door. Our neighbor, mr. W. said that Buddy was loose and needed mommy to help get him back in the house. A new physical therapist had been at mr. W’s house and when he left Buddy darted out after a rabbit he had been watchin’ through the window. And before he knew it he had followed te rabbit out into the woods behind our complex. Now he found himself alone and lost. Yes, mommy put on her Eskimo garb and went out to help get him back home. It was already dark so mommy stood at the edge of the woods and hollered for him. She finally heard him rustlin’ the leaves and headed toward her voice. See Buddy’s been a little skeered lately cause mr. W’s been very sick, and even spent some time in the hospital. Buddy’s 5 years old and has been with mr. W since he was about 6 months old. He doesn’t really know any other life. So if something was to happen to mr. W and he could no longer care for Buddy, what do you suppose would happen to him?.

And everyday we read posts somewhere in the internet about some cat ending up in a shelter or rescue because their people could no longer care for them. We think it’s heartbreaking, but even more so when that kitty is older and has spent it’s life living in one home only to find itself behind bars in a shelter somewhere. And it’s not just cats, it’s all pets that are in danger of this happening to them. In this day and age, we just don’t understand why this happens. people can take the time to write a will leaving their earthly belongings to some family member or friend or charity, but they can’t take the time to ensure that the living, breathing, being who has shared their lives and given them love has a place to go to also.

Please don’t assume your children or some other family member is going to come in and take your beloved pet. More often than not your family members are heading straight for the local shelter.  Since we are cats, we will focus on cats, but there are lots of places that you can contact regarding your particular pet. Click here for a list of some of those places. Your cat has given you years of happiness and love, don’t abandon them when it’s your time. Make arrangements and put them in writing. Let someone else know your wishes. None of us are promised a tomorrow. Anything can happen at any time. So the sooner you get the arrangements made the better. You can always change it, but after you’re gone it’s too late. 

Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!

Luv and Hugs and Kitty Kisses

  2. that is a very good message and reminder…i think that lots of people dont give it a thought or as you said just assume their family members will take care of them but there are way too often stories of the family members just dumping the animals at shelters which i will never understand and its so very sad! im very glad you were able to help mr w and get the kitty home…that was very nice of you! love you girls ❤

  3. Our rescue place, Feline Rescue of St Paul, will take care of me if something happens to mommy. It is a beautiful happy place with lots of kittyfriends and peoplefriends and unless you are not socialized you are NOT in a cage. Good food, clean litter, and lots of love, love love. And a few permanent residents!

  5. Excellent article Dezi…sorry I’m so slow…I’ll blame it on mom..hehe She actually has other stuff to do so puts me on a back burner occasionally. We definitely should plan just in case something happens to our peeps.

  6. This is such a sad situation. Unfortunately, many people don’t take this into account. Maybe it’s because we don’t want to think about this topic. And if the pet really has to go to a shelter, make it at least a no-kill one.

    1. Unfurtunately when peeps don’t make awwangements, da peeps turnin’ dat anipal over to da shelters kuldn’t care less what kind of shelter it is, they just don’t wnna be boddered. Whether you want to fink ’bout it or not, it’s da best fing to do. You wuld do it fur yous 2 legged childwen, da same shuld be dun fur da 4 legged furry ones too.
