Because this is how
we roll, and thank God for the organization that knows this and gets these buddies home.
I have a special place in my heart for our own orange tabby, Hobbes; he's usually a loveable sweetheart until it comes time to do "something" to him (clip nails/give pills), then look the hell out!
... too many imbeciles abondon them ...
So true.
Hobbes the kitten came trucking out of the woods, tail straight up and purring his little heart out at the site/smell/sound of Gunsmith. We'd stopped the car and he'd gotten out because he'd spotted a little orange thing just inside the tree-line.
Maybe because we live on a very rural road in a rural part of the county, but stray cats are forever turning up; we've had many neutered just to keep them from breeding. A few we convinced a local cat-adoption group to take (they DO NOT euthanize); some we just let go on their merry way because we were just full up.
Since those first few rescues, Operation Baghdad Pups has rescued 206 pets adopted by U.S. service members serving in Iraq, including 35 cats, at an average of $4,000 per pet. The cost of each rescue is completely funded through donations, with most of the money spent on security teams hired to retrieve pets that can’t be easily transported to Baghdad International Airport.
These folks could probably use some money.
