Stray

Sweet Baby Kitten – Rescued Kitten

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I had visited a home in upstate NY, country like area surrounded by woods. There are some stray cats & 3 kittens at the house I was staying at. They were all so hungry. What can I do for them? well I did fed them.. and I tried to “rescue” as many as I could.. but I only was able to get one of them. So She is home with me now. I will care for her (already been to the vets) get her used to being handled and then try to find her a loving home. She is currantly (as of 9/8/08) being treated for upper respitory infection & slight pink eye. Which should clear up in no time and I will wait for her to be healthy before letting her be adopted out. She is also dewormed. Most kittens get parasites/worms that are easlily treated. Each day she is becoming sweeter & more loving. Purrs everytime I take her out (she is isolated from my other pets) She weighs about 2-3 lbs as of 9/8/08. She is about 12 weeks old. Calico Female. She is learning to play with me & trust me. Right now she maybe to shy for children. As I don’t think before me, she was ever handled by people. But with time she can adjust. I plan on exposing her to as many things as possible.. but starting with small steps. Remember this is a kitten that has never been in the house. though she automactically took to the litter box. So she is good to go on that. I don’t think she is old enough to get shots yet. But I will check on that, and get the shots if she is old enough. I would also like to get her tested for FIV & other cat realted dieases. But for now I am paying for her care out of pocket, so some things have to wait till I have the money for it. But she is such a sweet little girl and I think doing amazingly well and adjusting so great.. especailly for a kitten that was completely ourdoors never being handled. Oh also I will slowly expose her to my 2 dogs to help get use dogs. Though I have a Beagle & Chihuahua who are naturally calm & friendly with other animals. Please help her find a loving home. Responsible serious loving people only please (located in Long Island)

I first saw the kittens on 9/7/08. cute.. Living outdoors in the woods. but these kitty’s deserve better then to live a “Stray” cat life. Stray cats live with constant sickness (parasites & upper respitory) chased & maybe killed by loose dogs or other wild animals. Being hated by some people who will throw things at them or others do worse things to harm them. Plus living ourdoors in possible harsh elements (Pouring Rains, COLD winters & HOT summers. At least I saved one.

Border Collie Rescue – Big Dog Week

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Meet some of the new arrivals at the Border Collie Rescue centre near York, UK, who came in to our care between Sept 16th and 19th 2007.

The 5 members of the Border Collie clan featured in this video are from varied backgrounds and circumstances but have one thing in common – they are all BIG – between 29 and 37 kilos in weight.

Meet Sam, a Merle from a farm who’s owners tried for a long time to train him as a sheepdog, but he had other things in mind and showed little or no interest in his sheep.
A fit, strong, enthusiastic and affectionate dog, his previous owners thought a lot of him and eventually came round to the idea that he may be better off in a home where his qualities were put to a more appropriate use and so contacted us to take him in and re-home him.

Next, Nell and her son Bill who came to us after a vet, called in to put them to sleep, advised their previous owner that there WAS an alternative.
Their common problem was that they were too enthusiastic around livestock and could not be stopped or called off and had become a serious liability.
Their previous owner, a kindly man, had looked after them well, perhaps too well, as they are both overweight due to a combination of good diet and restricted excersise.
Eventually, he had been obliged to consider the position of his neighbours who’s sheep were also at risk from their attention and they had to go.
When told about us, he was pleased to be able to pass them over and arranged for their initial vaccinations before they came into our care.
We will have to see if their ‘problem’ has a cure!

Last, but by no means the least, are The Boys.
Two dogs that have come in from the Hambleton Dog Warden Service, Names Unkown.

These two Border Collies, possibly brothers, are the largest and most overweight of all being 33+ and 36+ kilos respectively.
The were abandoned by their previous owner/s near a caravan site and held by the dog wardens for two weeks instead of one, to give these previous owners a longer time to feel remorse and seek to reclaim them. It didn’t happen – they’ve been ‘dumped’.
Another two good natured and affectionate dogs, well looked after, well fed, well socialised and well meaning.
It is difficult to understand why they were dumped but sometimes people are more unpredictable than animals and can justify any action without concience.

We are pleased to be able to offer these Border Collies a new start and a new life and having met them – priviledged to have made their aquaintance and had the chance to have done so.

This is a video of how they came to us.

The Border Collie is designed to be a sheepdog and was originally used for herding livestock in the English and Scottish Borders. Border Collie Rescue assesses all dogs coming into our care for herding ability and will rehome them as stockdogs if that is what they need to do but we also assess and rehome for scent discrimination skills to the Police, Prison Service and Excise to detect drugs, explosives and firearms — to SARDA and other rescue organisations for mountain rescue and search and rescue work — to help deaf, blind or otherwise disabled people as well as for working trials, flyball, agility, obedience and other interactive sporting disciplines and many of our dogs have qualified for Crufts in these disciplines. Those that show us they do not need or want to work are rehomed as PAT dogs, pets and companions.
