Porsche the Cat, Missing Since Hurricane Sandy, Travels 8 Miles Home (VIDEO)
 |
| Porsche the cat is back home with his family six months after Hurricane Sandy. |
I love stories like this. And as a Jersey girl, I especially love this one as I was deeply saddened by the destruction of Sandy in my home state.
Porsche the cat, who went missing after Hurricane Sandy, made an amazing 8-mile journey back home to his family. Last Wednesday, when Carol Baumann, heard the cat's meows on the back deck of their Toms River, New Jersey home. She couldn't believe it.
“I saw the green eyes and I said, ‘My God in heaven, it’s Porsche!’” said Baumann.
As reported by NbcPhiladelphia.com, the beautiful black kitty and his family were evacuated by boat from their Toms River shore home after Hurricane Sandy. They stayed with relatives in Point Pleasant Borough until they could return home. While there, Porsche escaped from the house. Baumann and her mother Uranie Roberts thought they'd never see their dear cat again. But Porsche had other plans.
Porsche wanted to go home. On his long trek back to his family, the determined cat not only had to deal with traffic, he even crossed a bridge.
"It's a miracle," Roberts said.
Porsche certainly has some stories to tell.

Families in Need Able to Keep Their Pets With Help from Companion Animal Advocates
 |
| Companion Animal Advocates wants every family to keep their pet. |
Imagine if one day you lost your job or a medical emergency made it impossible to pay your bills. You can now barely feed your own family, how will you feed your beloved pet? You might be forced to make a heartbreaking choice and surrender your furry friend to a shelter.
In New Jersey, an amazing organization, Companion Animal Advocates (CAA), was conceived to address this issue and help families in need keep their pets. The non-profit, volunteer organization is committed to keeping family pets from being surrendered to already crowded shelters because their owners can no longer care for them. Established five years ago by former board members of the Oakland, NJ Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc., CAA envisions “a future where every pet has a family and every family can keep their pet."
"We all wanted to do something help animals and our love of animals," said Christine Devereaux, Vice President, Companion Animal Advocates, "We decided to help families keep their animals before they get to a shelter."
As of April 1, through Operation Feed-a-Pet, CAA feeds 330 pets each month and raised 398,570 bowls of Purina cat and dog food. That’s 159,428 pounds of pet food delivered. CAA works with local food banks such as Center for Food Action (CFA) in Saddle Brook, Ringwood and Mahwah as well as the Social Service Association of Ridgewood and vicinity, to help people in need feed their pets.
“I know what it’s like to go without food,” a female client of the Center for Food Action (CFA) in Mahwah told Office Manager Bev Sullivan. “So when a hungry stray cat appeared at my door one day. I had to feed and care for her. If not for the Companion Animal Advocates pet food program at CFA, I would have had to turn my back on her. She is now a part of our family and brings us joy each day.”CAA also reached out to Kelly, a homeless woman living in an area shelter with her 16-year-old daughter and two dogs. The organization donated a case of soft dog food for 13-year-old Star who cannot chew dry food. She was also provided with a full year supply of Frontline and Heartguard for the dogs. Kelly had this to say about CAA in an email:
"We are so grateful for all of your love and continued support. The dogs tummies are filled once again this morning with their generously donated food and are in good spirits."
CAA is serious in its commitment to help family pets. In addition to feeding the hungry, CAA has a mission to protect by teaching safety within the community, to help stop littering by providing free or low-cost spay and neuter services and to help with pet retention by finding homes for animals in need.
GIFT OF LIFE: PET OXYGEN MASK PROGRAM
Companion Animal Advocates facilitated the placement of 80 sets of pet oxygen masks through Bergen and Passaic Counties in New Jersey with their Pet Oxygen Mask Program. The masks come in three sizes for large, medium and small dogs and cats. These specially sized masks will enable firefighters or EMTs to deliver oxygen to pets in need and in some cases save their lives.
"My goal," said Devereaux, "is to get every town in Bergen County equipped."And CAA has that goal in sight.
NO COST/LOW-COST SPRAY OR NEUTER
As part of its humane education program CAA paid for 170 pets to be spay/neutered through their Stop Littering campaign. They advertise the program with stickers on the bags of pet food they provide.
Kristina Franklin and Karen Ruiz are both very pleased by the help they received from CAA.

| Inigo the Chihuahua was helped by CAA. |
“I have a Chihuahua named Inigo. I needed to have him neutered,” said Kristina Franklin, “but I could not afford to do so. I went to the Center for Food Action in my town and there like a godsend was a card (from CAA) that offered a free neuter or spay...” This was such a wonderful blessing to me as I have limited and low income.”
“I have a 7 month male kitten named Boots and I wanted to neuter him right away but my vet was charging $450," said Karen Ruiz. “Thank God I found Companion Animal Advocates because thanks to their program I was able to neuter him and now he’s a much healthier and calmer kitten.”

Rescue Cat Is Skilled Shell Game Player (VIDEO)

Kido has got some street smarts. The handsome white rescue cat shows off his talents as a shell game player. Watch the video to see the expert choose the shell where he thinks the ball is. Who says you can't win the game. Now if he was only playing for money.
Kido was abandoned twice by two different families in his first 6 months of life. The cat was listed on a shelter's kill list when his owner met and adopted him. The lucky cat has since become the love of her life.
His owner said, "I could never understand how people would abandon a sweet and fun kitty like Kido. It's their loss and I hope they will realize. I hope all homeless animals can find their forever loving home. "
The video has since gone viral with over a million hits. You rule Kido!
Would you consider giving some lessons?

Fortunate Cat Survives 8 Cold Days in Tree and 80-Foot Fall
 |
| Fortunate the Cat |
It's All About the Animals pet shelter founder Pam Robinson set a trap for Fortunate and caught the 2-year-old cat on New Year's Day.
Dr. Rachel Francis of Marion Veterinary Hospital gave Fortunate an examination and amazingly, other than some minor health issues, the lucky kitty is fine.
The cat is now in isolation for two weeks. Robinson will keep Fortunate for 6 weeks so that the feline can recover from her ordeal and gain some weight.
If you are interested in offering Fortunate a forever home you will need to submit an essay on why you should be able to adopt her. Essays can be submitted to: It’s All About the Animals, 103 Marion Road, Rochester, MA 02770.

FOLLOW-UP: Fortunate the cat was adopted! Pam Robinson of It's All About the Animals said on her Facebook page, "Great news! Fortunate has been adopted to a lovely couple, Marjorie & John, right here in Rochester! Oren & I get to visit her. It is a good match. Not only do we approve so does Fortunate! She gave them her O.K.! This is the kind of ending we wish for all abandoned & abused animals."
I so agree. So happy to hear the good news! Purrs to you Fortunate!

Celebrate National Cat Day With Simon's Cat (NEW VIDEO)
What better way to celebrate National Cat Day then with America's favorite feline in the latest Simon's Cat video. In "Fetch," Simon's cat suddenly receives the drooling and overeager attention of man's best friend. Can't a cat take a bath in private?
National Cat Day (October 29th) is an official day to recognize our feline friends. Founded by Pet Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige, it was created to bring attention to "all the cats who need to be rescued each year."
On the National Cat Day Facebook page, it states that one of its goals "is to encourage adoption rather than buying cats from pet stores supplied by kitten mills."
So remember, give your kitty some extra loving today (and maybe some extra nom-noms!)
And don't buy from pet stores, adopt!
