		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of the hardest things that we face when fostering kittens is that some of them do not survive.  Often they come to us weighing less than a pound and we do the very best we can to feed them, keep them hydrated and love them but sometimes it just doesn't work.  This week we lost the battle with one of our foster kittens.  She was so brave and struggled so much to live that my person kept trying to help her live.  It took a talk with our supervising veterinary staff for her to realize that the sweet brave little thing was suffering and the kindest thing to do was to end the suffering.  I think my person and little girl were feeding off of each other.  My person kept promising her that she would do all she could and little girl kept bravely fighting to survive.  Once the decision was made and my person told her it was okay.  Little girl relaxed and went peacefully to the rainbow bridge.  Sometimes the kindest thing to do is to let them go.  It is hard but necessary.  Please support spay and neuter in your community.  Support your local shelters and rescue groups in this beginning of kitten season.  Adopt don't shop and if you must shop. . .shop Petfinder.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our rescue group has gone from having foster homes begging for kittens to having our local shelter begging us to take rescues.  I read on Facebook that in one area they have been so successful with spay and neuter and TNR that they are transporting in kittens.  That would be our dream!  To be able to take a few and help other folks.  We do help our members and those that we can but our main focus is our local shelter.  This year they will be participating in the 100K Rachael Ray ASPCA challenge and we hope to help them do well.  Please adopt don't shop.  If you must shop-- shop Petfinder.  Remember that rescue rock and purrs move human souls.  Studies show that adopting a dog can help prevent heart disease and that adopting a cat can help prevent strokes. Purr with me and my family in the Rescue Forum Power of Purr.  Each one purr one and purr long and loud for rescues and forever homes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Looming on the horizon and staring for 2013 kitten season is here.  Please if you find a group of kittens remember that the best person they can be with is the momcat.  Don't scoop them up and take them immediately unl ess they are in an unsafe location.  Watch them to see if momcat is coming and going.  If she is LEAVE THEM ALONE!  Let momcat do her job and feed the babies until they are at least 4-5 weeks old.  You can help momcat by making her job easier by leaving food and water for her.  Once they are old enough to leave the nest, you can start to socialize them.  Rescue groups and shelters are inundated this time of year by well meaning people who scoop up kittens and rush them away.  If you do take kittens to a shelter or rescue group or shelter a donation would be much appreciated.  Tiny kittens take lots of resources to raise.  
Remember don't shop adopt and if you must shop. . .Shop Petfinder.   Purr with me and my family on the Power of purr for rescue and forever homes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is the calm before the storm of kittens.  We have foster homes ready, willing and waiting for kittens.  I know they will all be filled at once and then we will have to scramble to try to find space.  Last Saturday I went to University of California Davis Picnic Day with some adopted cats from the Yolo County SPCA and one of our calmer adoptable cats.  It is always amazing to me that people stand in line for a long time to see us.  It makes for a very long day for us and for our volunteers but I think it is worth it.  We try to educate people about cats and also about rescue, spay/neuter and adoption.  Hoping for many adoptions today and that kittens come to us slowly and not all at once. Spay and neuter!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our rescue group is getting ready for kitten season.  We are marshaling our volunteer foster homes, getting supplies ready and doing the best we can to be ready.  We are lucky to have foster homes ready and waiting but there are never enough and with limited means and space we can never respond to all the appeals or take all of the kittens that are in need.  I know I have said this before but spay/neuter is the answer to the heartbreak of kitten season.  Please support your local shelters and rescue groups.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Kitten season is coming and soon all of the rescue groups and shelters in our communities will be inundated with kittens.  Some of them will be too small to be adopted or to survive without help.  Many groups use foster homes to help the debilitated cats and dogs or under aged kittens and puppies to get healthy and ready to go to a home of their own.  My family fosters under aged kittens for the Yolo County SPCA.  All of us were former fosters who stayed.  Some for health reasons and some because our person just couldn't give us up.  (I stayed for Love)  Please consider fostering if you can.  You don't have to be able to bottle feed hourly.  Many times for some shelters it just just a matter of a short time until the foster can come back to facility to be altered and adopted.  Our group is a foster home based group so the fosters stay in their foster home until they are adopted.  Depending on the group they will provide knowledge, support, supplies and veterinary care.  We encourage you to consider it, if you can.  Also, please support your local shelters and rescue groups.  Support local low cost spay/neuter efforts.  Spay/Neuter keeps unwanted animals out of shelters.  Help us help the animals in your home community.  And as always join with us on the Power of purr to purr for rescues and forever homes for all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I am so proud to be selected as one of the diaries of the day. I hope that it means that more Catsters will spread my wishes.  My person worked last Monday at another Spay Day event at our local shelter.  All together in our area there were over 700 dogs & cats altered and microchipped and vaccinated!  This means that these cats and dogs won't be adding to the overpopulation of unwanted animals in our community.  Please support your local rescue groups and shelters.  Please help with spay and neuter events in your area if you can.  Purr with us on the Power of purr for rescues and forever homes.  
My person volunteers, fosters kittens, and donates what she can.  Some people that she knows also give her donations to help our rescue group.  It makes her feel very special when they do that.
 
Tell your persons to help, too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In our area we have the largest one day spay and neuter event in the nation.  That means that over 700 dogs and cats will be altered!! This event is to help income qualified people get their animals altered.  What this means to the community is that over 700 cats and dogs will not be having kittens and puppies that will either be given away unaltered, let go to roam the streets and have more kittens and puppies, or taken to local shelters.  My person will be working at 2 clinics.  One tomorrow that will neuter 99 cats!! Please support spay/neuter efforts in your community.  You may think that one person can't make a difference but you can.

Support your local shelters and rescue groups to help animals in your
community.  Always always always adopt don't shop!! Purr for rescues and forever homes with my family in the Power of purr chain on the rescue forum.]]></content:encoded>

My person will be coordinating a clinic that has volunteered to alter 100 male cats.  And you know the odd thing. . .people aren't contacting the organizing group to schedule appointments.  Hopefully all the appointments will be filled soon so that we can make sure that those boys don't go out and make more kittens.  Because kitten season is looming right around the corner.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I picked as Diary of the day.  I was so happy that many catsters read my diary and commented.  My most favorite thing was that some of you were inspired to search out a local rescue group or shelter to support.  You make me proud when I hear that.  Our precious Dodger started the diary because when he posted and asked for purrs for support our rescue group had adoptions.  The support of our Catster friends with purrs helps us.  


Dodger would be so happy that our diary encouraged others to adopt, rescue,spay/neuter, or support a local rescue group or shelter.  

Thank you to Catster for allowing us this forum.  Please now purr with me and my family for rescues and homes for all.  Adopt don't shop.  And if you want to shop check out the wonderful animals waiting on Petfinder for homes of their own.  There is power in our purrs and we must use this power well.]]></content:encoded>

She has a bad cold and has been coming home and doing my favorite thing. . .nothing . . .and cuddling on the sofa with me, our cat family, and the foster kittens.  But it is Saturday and we need to get our selves in gear for placement with our rescue group.  It is Ground hog day and cloudy and cool so if the groundhogs are to be believed, we will have an early spring.  And you know what that means. . .KITTEN SEASON IS COMING SOON!!!  So, please support your local rescue groups and shelters.  Help with community cat programs.  Volunteer for Spay Day USA in your area.  Make kitten season a happy time and not a stressful time of too many kittens and too few homes and rescue groups.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of our dear friends worked last Sunday at a community cat clinic.  Almost every female cat that came into the clinic was in heat and you know what that means. . .KITTEN season is on the horizon.  This year it seemed that it never really ended with kittens needing help continuously.  Please support spay and neuter efforts in your community.  Please support community cat clinics to help these kitties in your area.  Support your local shelters and rescue groups because they help animals in your area.  Adopt don't shop--shelter and rescue animals are wonderful pets.  I should know since I am a former rescue and foster.  Please purr with my family on the Power of Purr in the rescue forum.  You may think it silly but when we purr our rescue group has adoptions.  And the more adoptions we have the more space we have and the more space we have the more animals we can rescue.  Power to the PURRpeople!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My diary was picked today.  Thank you Catster for helping spread my words of adoption and rescue.  My diary was started by my brother Dodger.  When Dodger went to the Rainbow bridge one of his last wishes was that I would continue to spread the word of rescue.  I promised him that I would.  When my person is sad and wonders if there is anyone who is supporting us, we always hear from one of you and that makes things seem less overwhelming.  Thank you for the diary pick and for the purrs and good thoughts for rescues and forever homes over the years.  Until there are none adopt one Please!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I know that Dodger before me and I often sing the same tune. . adopt and rescue and support your local rescue and shelters and spay and neuter, but we can't stop talking and posting about these until there is no need.  I just get so cross with 'activists' who complain and demand but DON'T DO MUCH ELSE.  Hey you activists out there are you unhappy with things as they are?  Stop running your mouth and get out and do something.  Raise money for your local shelter or rescue group.  Do you want low cost or free spay neuter in your community?  Then talk to local vets and see if they will volunteer at a clinic or offer low cost spay/neuter at their facility.  My person gets so fed up with demands for action from people who don't do anything.  

Sorry, had to get that off my chest.  Please purr with me and my family in the spirit of Dodger for rescue and homes for all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ December was hard for my family because our Dodger crossed the rainbow bridge.  We wanted so much to honor his crossing with many cat and kitten adoptions.  We did continue to adopt but not as many as we had been, but we did have adoptions for our dogs increase so that was a good thing.  We choose to think that it was also in honor of our Dodger who dreamed and hoped and purred for homes of their own for all.  This is a new year and our first placement event of 2013 again we hope for many adoptions so that we can rescue more.  Please purr with me and my family on the Power of purr in the rescue forum for homes for all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today will be the last placement event of 2012 for our rescue group.  Kitten season has slowed down but we are still getting appeals to take kittens.  One day someone thought that kitten season was over and posted on Facebook. We thought maybe that was tempting fate and it was.  Very soon she got a post that there is a momcat delivering kittens at the shelter.  So, if you are thinking of adding a new furry family member please check out your local shelters and rescue groups.  If you are looking for a year end donation, you can be sure that your money is put to good use helping animals in your community.  As our much loved, and much missed Dodger would say,  RescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfosterRescueadoptspayneuterTNRfoster and Purr long and loud for rescues and forever homes!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is a sad time for my family as I take over the diary duties from our dear Dodger, who crossed the rainbow bridge on the 13th. It is a sadder time for our nation as we all grieve with the community and families who lost children and friends.  Please send positive thoughts and energy to those who are grieving or sad.  
Please in this time of sadness remember those in our community who cannot help themselves.  Support your local animal rescue groups and shelters.  Help those of us who are helping others in your community.  
If you are shopping online this holiday season, shop through AdoptAShelter or IGive to support your local shelters at no cost to you.
Purr for all who are sad to heal.]]></content:encoded>
