In Their New Homes

I'll post a list of all of the wonderful organizations who helped out by taking in some of our animals, along with contact info, but in the mean time I wanted to share some of the photos we've received from folks of a few of the animals in their new homes. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see them bathed, trimmed, and in a safe and clean environment!

This is a photo of our very first transport team. They came down from Dallas to adopt one of the kitties for their own home and take back four other cats and one dog. Thanks guys!




This is them with the kitten they adopted... Tazo. She was my special favorite -- every day when we arrived at the house, within 30 seconds of stepping in the door this little sweetheart was at my side, purring and begging to be picked up and snuggled. I'm so thankful she found such a wonderful and loving home!



Here's Alex, who left the house with dirty, matted fur, nails in desperate need of trimming and hair so long over his eyes he could barely see. Look at this beautiful boy now!


These two tortoise shells (now named Shelby & Cayenne) found their way to home in Dallas where they've been settling in nicely, and even started playing! What an amazing change from their previous circumstances.



And here are a couple of pictures of two of the dogs that Jim and Mary Lou adopted into their home. Bingo (the big black Lab-cross "puppy") had previously been kept in the kitchen with Hillary (who is doing amazingly well at Smiling Dog Farms -- she'll even allow herself to be petted once or twice now!) Frankie used to spend her days and nights confined to the bathroom all by herself. Now she has buddies to play with, lots of room to run, and is always ready for a thorough petting!

Christmas Miracle!

I know many of you have been following the story of these sweet dogs and cats, and I wanted to let you know that we had our very own Christmas miracle! At the very last minute, the night before the heat and water were going to be turned off in the house, an amazing woman named Rhonda came down from Dallas, helped Jim & Mary Lou catch the remaining 13 cats, take them up to Barn Cats where, through KittiCo they were able to get spayed/neutered, have their shots updated, before being taken to their new homes near Houston and south of Ft. Worth. How can we ever find a way to thank all of you who came to the rescue of these pups and kitties? So to all of you who read and forwarded my e-mails, who wished us luck and sent us prayers, who told your friends and checked with your neighbors, who helped us find new homes and placements, who assisted with the transport, and who took in animals and gave them a second chance for a new life,
Thank you and Bless you.
You are all extraordinary!!
