I didn’t realize until earlier today, when I was looking at my blog, that I haven’t posted since Wednesday. Huh! I had doctor appointments in NYC Thursday and Friday. The apptointments always take longer than I think they will. And those days are always tiring particularly when my doctor is running late or access-a-ride is really delayed or when there are several stops on the way home. So, I'm very happy that this week, I don’t have any doctor appointments, tests or procedures! Yay! a free week...hopefully it stays that way!
I planned to “redecorate” my blog a little bit yesterday, work on some posts and reviews, visit blogs and other fun things like that. But, late morning two kittens (9 or 10 months) were found abandoned pretty much on the front doorstep. Several neighbors knew what had happened, who was responsible but no one wanted to work at finding a home or shelter for the cute little guys....well, guy and gal. Yep, a boy and a girl! They’ll have to be spayed and neutered soon or these little ones will have some little ones of their own! So I spent a lot of time yesterday emailing vets, shelters, cat adoption agencies and similar people and places. It shocks me that people can just abandon dependant, innocent animals without much thought or care...and in this cold weather, too. At least take them to animal care & control or a vet or shelter. I’m trying to come up with something to call them for now better than kitty or cat. Ugh! This really ticks me off! Wish me luck finding some where for these kitties to live permanently or temporarily.
I’m going to, hopefully, spend some time reading The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño and more of Norwegian Wood which is a thin book but I’ve been taking my time with it, enjoying Murakami’s writing. That’s about it for today!
Have a wonderful Sunday!
Happy Reading!

I have a feeling someone knew what they were doing when they left those cats on your doorstep. I hope you find them a home soon.
ReplyDeleteIt infuriates me when people don't take responsibility for their pets. You are a hero for stepping up. Good for you and good luck finding them a home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kathy - someone knew what they were doing when they abandoned those kitties on your doorstep. Good luck finding them a home.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they new you loved kitties and would find them a home, but that shouldn't justify what they did. Hope this isn't too stressful for you.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read Love at First Bark? Because you remind me of the author Julie Klam. Always the advocate for animals, and yes I'm sure the offenders knew exactly what they were doing when they left them at your doorstep. I guess at least it is the kitten's lucky day that you are their guardian angel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today. It's always so nice to hear from you. Anni is doing well and is happy to be back home. She did not like the drive from NY but loved staying in hotels with new and interesting window views.;)
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you to take in the two kitties and try to find them homes. I am sure it is pretty cold outside so they are lucky to have found you.
I've read just about every book by Murakami. Reading his latest right now. Enjoy your upcoming free week to do all the things you love to do!
I can't imagine people abandoning animals like that. Like you said, there are places you can take them if you can't care for them yourself. Good luck finding a home for them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a home of those kittens. I know where they'll end up otherwise! Kitties just seem to find their way to you, don't they?!
ReplyDeleteIt's very good of you to take the fate of those kittens in your hands. I hope you'll find a good home for them!
ReplyDeleteI have names for the kittens.. Pip and Annie!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure in his or her mind this person thought they were doing the right thing by leaving them with you... a lover of all things furry but what a cowardly way to do it. Plus, it's not easy for you to get around. I wish people would stop and think before they do things.
I am sure that the cats were left because the people who left them know that you wouldn't leave them in the cold. We had a pitbull left in our yard for the very same reasons. I think it's a pretty shabby thing to do, but at least they will be wel taken care of while they wait for a new home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others, Amy! Someone left those cats there because they consider you just as reliable as a shelter or vet. They knew you wouldn't let anything happen to them. Good luck!
