But, wow, it really seems as though you are – and, honestly, I never REALLY forget that you are out there, and I appreciate every single one of you!Before I go any further, I want to let everyone know that I've set up a website to follow the show. You have found it if you're reading this!The station will have a link to it on their website later on this week, and you can contact me directly there, or you can also reach me by going to am980.ca, and clicking on the contact us link or the show ideas link.
I will be posting show topics, scheduled guests, photos, and other interesting topics as they come up. I hope that you'll enjoy it and find it useful!
Don't hesitate to contact me for any show ideas, questions, comments, praise, criticisms, whatever your heart's desire!
Animal Outreach is a group that is very close to my heart. I foster cats for them, and the 2 cats that I share my home with are also animal outreach cats. I am in awe of the people who devote their lives in such an amazing way to saving the lives of animals that in many cases would not have any advocate. These groups are run by volunteers, who have full time jobs, and come home from often stressful days to spend hours saving the lives of these animals. Returning phone calls, finding foster homes for unwanted/ stray /sick/injured or just otherwise homeless animals.
Here are the cats that I am fostering right now that are available for adoption;
This is Felicia. She is a cat that was rescued from an abusive home. She took quite a while to come into her own, but she has, and she is an extremely sweet girl.
This is White Paws. He was a stray cat that a woman started feeding and taking care of. He decided that he'd had enough of the outdoor life, and wanted to join her household, but she already had cats, and they did not approve of having another!
So, she called animal outreach, and that is how he came to join our family. He is the perfect cat for an older person who doesn't have the time or energy to deal with a kitten. He is extremely affectionate, he is very bonded to me - I call him my boyfriend, but I don't think he would have too much trouble transferring his affections.
These two rascals are Gabby and Parker. They are about 5 1/2 months old. Very healthy, very active, very sweet cats. Parker in particular has a very strong personality, and provides us with endless amusement. These two cats were rescued from Animal control. They were born with severe upper respiratory problems, and they didn't have the staff to nurse them back to health. hey called animal outreach and asked if they would have someone that would be able to nurse them back to health. They did, and now they are robust and healthy cats looking for a permanent home.
This is little Wilma. Her, her mother, and brother and sister were in the same situation as Gabby and Parker. She is younger - at about 4 months, and has turned into a very affectionate (loves to give kisses) little girl. Her siblings have found homes, and now she is looking for one, too!
This is Pebbles, a 2 year old Tortoiseshell cat. We have had her for about 1 1/2 years. She is very sweet, but like to spend a lot of time alone. I have a feeling that it is because there are so many other cats, and that she would thrive on her own, where someone was able to shower her with all the attention she needs.
This is Whitey. She is the biggest love bug of them all. She is also 2 1/2 years old, I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. Her and her siblings (we had them all, Whitey is the only one left) were live trapped, as their mother was feral. She avoided human cont act until about 6 months or so ago, and now she is making up for lost time. She is a fantastic greeter, and just LOVES to have some one pet her belly and brush her for as long as they are willing
Back to the show.
As I mentioned, my guest tonight is Diane Fortney, she is a founding member of animal outreach
I have quite the show planned, but obviously, I can not tell you what Dianne is going to be saying on the show as we haven't done the show yet!
I do know that I plan to ask her all sorts of things about how she came to run this rescue group, and how they support themselves, stories about cat rescue and adoption - the ups and downs,
And we are also going to be discussing a very topical issue in the city of London right now - The deer in Sifton bog. I think that a lot of the information she will be bringing to the show will be very surprising for a lot of people.
If you want to write a letter to your city councillor concerning the issue, you can find out who your councillor is, and how to reach them by following this link here
There is a link on that page as well to help you find out what ward you live in if you don't know.
Hope you got a chance to listen in. If, after the show I think of anything else I missed, I will update this post.
Thanks for listening/reading, don't forget to email or leave a comment on the blog if you have anything to say!
Have a great day, love your companion animal and all living beings that grace our planet.
