Feral Paws Rescue: What Rescue Really Is About

2023 Articles, Feral Paws Rescue, Pets

by Paula Hunsacker

Many, I am sure, don’t understand my drive to walk into a high-kill shelter daily and work endless hours to save just one life of a cat that will die in three to five days! I never ask for a pat on the back for what I am doing. Just that you respect me for fighting for the life of cats that will not make it out of a high kill shelter! Unless you have personally worked with a rescue, you can never truly understand the horror we see every day.

Animal Rescue of Fresno: Eddie & Rizzo

by Wendy Hunter

The other morning, I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and felt a strange sensation moving over my jammies. It was cool and billowy, and it made me shiver. For the first time in months, I had to pull the covers over my stubbly, unshaven legs. Suddenly, I realized there was a breeze coming through the window, and it WASN’T 97 degrees. It wasn’t muggy or sticky or swampy in the least. And then it dawned on me; an old friend had come to visit. Well, not yet, but he was certainly packing his bags and making airline reservations.

Jackie Dale-The Cat Mother/Cat Trapper: Transports, Trapping, and a Steady Trickle of Cats

2023 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Jackie Dale, Pets

by Jackie Dale

The past two months have been busy. I took in a white kitten from a local woman. She called two days later saying there were two more. Then, they asked if I could take the mom cat as well, and I said yes because then I would not have to bottle feed. Then, she said the cat got out. Oh, I just love that. She finally got the mom cat, and I made a third trip to town to pick her up. I was so annoyed by this I forgot to bring a carrier, so the cat had to ride on the dashboard on the way back. Not a problem for the now named Olive. Her three kittens are adorable.

Animal Rescue of Fresno: Babes In Boxerland

2023 Articles, Animal Rescue Adventures, Pets

by Wendy Hunter

Well, here we are, my dears, already crossing the unbearable border of July into the unforgiving wasteland of August. The sun shoots down sweltering bolts of flaming fingers, wrapping themselves around you and holding tight like a crazed hand from Hell. Not enough sunscreen can be slathered on, no big hats are floppy enough, and that gigantic glass of iced tea cannot be cold enough.
