K-9 Fund Drive - Four Months To Reach Our Goal!

This is what happens when your pet hangs with E-Muss.

We enter July and we continue in our efforts to raise hundreds of dollars for the SPCA. My donation this month is in honor of our newest Kings and their jersey numbers - Jason Thompson (34), Sean Singletary (7) and Patrick Ewing, Jr. (0). This is a far better deal than using their college jersey totals, which would have come to $78. That's a savings of $37, so what are you waiting for? Act now! This low price can't last forever.

I know that I'm asking a lot here. Gas prices, milk prices, everything is just getting to be outrageous. One of the nice things about StR is that it has not been impacted by these price increases. It's still free (and well worth it!). Don't sweat it if you can't donate, as times are tough. We're fortunate that our dogs gladly agreed to sacrifice their Christmas presents this year so that we could make our donation. Actually, Sasha was all for it. But Jade (seen below) is still trying to get into the spirit of things.

Like Ron, my yorkie isn't house broken after 8 years.

Our calico Ginger is not a fan of dogs (especially yappy Shih-Tzus), but she gladly gave up her monthly wine budget to contribute to the cause this month. We thank Ginger, and we thank all contributors … especially the 214 household and its patriarch, who have been beyond generous.

$15 dollars, I'd give more but I'd have to eat less...

That is my daughter, sir

My 14 year old daughter.

I keep a picture of her in my wallet, right next to my Kaiser card.

Which I suspect you keep right next to your heart?

OK, I’m down for another month.

Somebody, please tell me how I can coax a stray (read that as abandoned) cat into trusting me enough to catch her and her brood of kittens. I don’t necessarily want to move her to the “shelter” but I need to get her some shots and get her and the kittens fixed (when the time is right).

That may reduce my future contributions to the fund but this is more of an immediate concern of mine.

I’ve been able to get about two feet from her but that’s as close as she’ll let me get, does she just need more time?

Honestly, I’ve never had to deal with this so I don’t know what to do besides feed and water her and her kittens. God damn her former owners to Hell! I frickin’ hate this housing market and the way Dbags treat their animal families.

OK

First, you need to rent a cat costume. This will establish trust between you and the finicky feline.

Next, you need to spread tuna fish all over yourself. This will attract kitty-kitty.

Finally, you need to let us know when and where this is going to happen, as we would all like to be there to watch.

That first line

BROKE ME.

I was totally expecting a different kind of advice, but that was much more entertaining.

Me too!

oops, I hit "send" by mistake...

anyway…thanks again for the helpful advice (rolls eyes but I’ll admit I did laugh…a LOT). This finicky lil mama doesn’t appear to like tuna, at least not the expensive solid albacore tuna I tried to feed her the first night she showed up looking hungry!

But since I may become the temporary ownee of lil mama and her kittens, I do appreciate the suggestion as it may well may make me some cash as a PPV event if I need some help with the vet bills!

Food seems to be the best bait in getting a cat nearer so that you can take of them. But some mama cats will never trust you while their kittens are around.

Have you called the local SPCA for advice? Ours has always been helpful.

Good luck!

Thanks, Tom!

I hadn’t called the SSPCA but my neighbors had and didn’t feel like there was too much concern there. I have now called (twice and got voice mail twice) but I was able to cull some advice from their website (cursing while trying to locate it). I wasn’t very pleased with them to be honest… : ( With more donations maybe things will improve! : )

So, after talking to a friend who has adopted from a couple of rescue groups and her mom who feeds feral cats, I think I’ve started a plan (which does NOT include renting a cat suit), which should help me get her trapped and then spayed, but it’s gonna take time. As you said, the first step is to feed and water her at the same time every day. I’ll probably need to just let it stay that way for another month or since the kittens aren’t weaned and can’t be without her while I get her to the vet for a check up and spaying. Can we start another fund drive for KK’s vet bills for a cat some Dbag abandoned? Kidding…but, damn, people make me mad sometimes!

$85 right to the source

I know this probably doesn’t help the K-9 Fund Drive, but my family just contributed $85 to the SPCA today and saved a little kitty who wouldn’t have been here come Tuesday.
