Thankful Thursday ~ Napoleon

Age attacks when we least expect it.
- Carrie Latet-
Sometimes my Mom is sad because she knows I am
getting old. I try to tell her it is just a part of life.
I am 18 years old, and things are slowing down.
I like to sleep, and I like to eat.
I think I'm doing fine and am Thankful to be here!
Happy Thursday everyone!

Finally Friday ~ Timothy

Memory is a crazy woman that hoards colored rags
and throws away food.
- Austin O'Malley -
My first Mom left her husband, then he kicked me owtside.
A nice lady took me in until she could find someone to take me.
Mom Bobbie saw my handsome, but matted self and I've been part
of The Bunch for several years. I've heard it said that she has a
big 'S' on her forehead, but I have not seen it.

Happy Friday!

Adopt-a-less-Adoptable Pet Week

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Lola

September 19 - 25 ~ Adopt-a-lesser Adoptable Pet Week
Lola was abandoned in the middle of the night at a vet office. The note said that the owner was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of the cat food! Lola is 10 years old, declawed, spayed and up to date on her indoor vaccines. She gets along OK with other cats but would probably thrive in a quieter home with no other pets. She loves to be brushed and enjoys eating!

Contact lodell@nvanet.com if you are interested in pretty Lola.

Lola is in Conyers, GA

This week is Petfinder.com's Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week, a week dedicated to spotlighting those pets that are most often overlooked in shelters. It's all about getting people to take a second glance -- and give a second chance -- to those pets whose only crime is being a little older, the "wrong" color, or otherwise "less adoptable" -- but who have just as much love to give.

So BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets and I are taking up the cause for the next Be the Change Challenge! We're spreading the word about the many great adoptable pets who sit in shelters for weeks, months, and even years waiting for their forever home while the cute and cuddly kittens and puppies get snapped right up.


So who are these "less adoptable" pets? According to a survey of Petfinder member shelters and rescues the hardest to adopt out pets are senior or older pets, those with health problems (even minor ones), victims of breed prejudice (like Pit Bulls), shy pets, and those that need to be only pets. But that's not all! A lot of people overlook black and
brindle dogs and cats as well. (Not convinced? Check Why Less Adoptable Pets Rule.)
So next time you or a friend are looking to adopt, give these pets a second chance, a little more time and you never know, a less adoptable pet might just be the purrr-fect pet adoption for you!

Thanks for reading..I had to copy to make sure I got all info in, sorry :)

Saturday Story ~ Jasmine

If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the
shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will
deal likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi

Many years ago I was on death row in a Georgia pound. A very sweet, kind lady offered to take me if someone could pull me and meet her halfway. Well, Mom Bobbie said she would get me. She drove a whole lot of miles to the pound, then many more miles to meet my new Mom, Claire.

Mom Bobbie cried when she gave me to Mom Claire because she had been holding me and loving on me while waiting, but knew Mom Claire would take very good care of me, which she did .. until she got sick and went to Heaven.

Mom Claires husband called and asked Mom Bobbie if she wanted me, as he was going to put me outside!! His new wifes child was 'allergic' to cats! I was declawed at a very early age, and Mom Bobbie knew she didn't want me to be thrown away, so she meet the husband and I have been here with The Bunch for a couple of years. I've had some skin problems, but my fur is back to it's beautiful look thanks to some dear friends, (I call them my Aunties) on the internet that have helped Mom Bobbie take care of me.

Hope everyfur and every bean has a nice weekend!

Thankful Thursday ~ Food..we hope!

It would be nice if the Food and Drug Administration
stopped issuing warnings about toxic substances and just
gave me the names of one or two things still safe to eat.

Mancat Monday, Napoleon and Malachi

There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats
that enables one to come off as a sane person

My country, 'tis of thee

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!
