Smokey's story

I don't write often about the cat rescues in our area but I do keep in touch with a few; donate as often as I can and share their posts on my facebook. Three of them are very close to my heart; Country Cat Rescue, Dickie's Cause for Paws and Furry Tails Rescue. Because I keep up with the latest news and hear the pleas of help for donations and foster homes from many of the rescue workers during this time of year, I am well aware of the numbers needing homes. It is far too many. :(

With that in mind, I read a very heart-warming post from a favorite blogger this morning about a wee kitten that followed her guineas home one day.
Please drop over and meet Henny from https://hennypennylane.blogspot.ca/ and her adorable Smokey. A kitten that may have lost his life at a very young age finds a loving home with Henny and Poppy thanks to these curious birds.

It is raining here today. I think it's a good day to create a delicious vegetarian spaghetti sauce. :)

Enjoy your day,
hugs, Deb

  1. It's so hard, because we all get many requests for funds or to volunteer, etc. Smokey has his forever home due to the birds!

  2. I just left her site!! Loved her story of Smokey and how he found his home and I also told her that I truly believe those guineas helped lead him right to a safe place because animals sense each other and help each other. He sure did grow up to be a gorgeous kitty didn't he? that was the first I'd heard his story of how he came to be with them or seen his baby pictures. Our Smokey is the twin to theirs---NO WAY would I have thrown out such a beautiful and sweet kitten!---but the good part is--he was led right to a such a happy home!

  3. I loved Smokey's story. He is gorgeous. I once had a Smokey. The guineas did a good deed. My Teddy was a throw-a-way. I just don't understand folks who do that to another living creature. I always wonder how they treat their "humans".

  4. Oh my goodness, Deb, thank you so much. You probably remember back when Smokey first found us, how excited I was that he looked a lot like Miss Audrey. We came close, but there could never be another Audrey. :) And you Deb have a heart of gold. I remember the story of Annie and her kittens...and all the kittens and cats you have helped. Thank you. Henny

  11. I wish I could give another kitty a home, but with cat allergies running my family I'm limited to one cat so my daughter can still visit...more then that and she can't handle it.

  12. Thank you Deb for the reminder of the plight of so many sweet kitties, especially this time of the year. Your blog and Hennys are without a doubt my two favorite blogs!

    We have two rescue kitties - a brother and sister - and they bring so much joy to our lives each day!

    Thank you Deb for all the help you are to these sweet cats everywhere!

  14. How we love happy endings. Wish they all could have one. One must believe there is a circle in hell reserved for those who intentionally kill, torture or leave these little ones to die.
