In 100 degree heat, Two Kittens are dumped and left to die.
On this 100 degree day in August I rescued these two cute Kittens who had been dumped and left to die outside the Willamette Humane society in Salem, Oregon. My story started back on July 14th 2019, when I was displaced by a Fire at my Apartment Buildings which had been caused by an unattended Cigarette. When the firefighters let me safely re-enter the Apartment to retrieve my Cat's, I packed all Nine of them into pet carriers, sat in my car and cried. What was I going to do. I had no family to take them in, didn't know who I could call for help and it was a Saturday and all businesses were closed. The stress was to much for my Heart. After struggle with looking for the cats, who were hidding in boxes behind furniture and didn't come or respond to my callsn I ended up going to the Salem Health with chest pains, I started to panic thinking my Cat's would die in my Car from heat stroke or starvation.
I told the Hospital staff about my situation and that the Cats were in danger.
They told me that the Hospital was connected to a program called "FETCH" which help people like me. And since its privately funded there was no cost to me.
Sharon who works at the Hospital for "FETCH" took all Nine Cats to the shelter until I felt better and had a home to go to. I ended up spending three day there and for the next month and a half I living in my Car.
Most of my days were spent removing stuff from the smoke damaged Apartment, searched online for a home. Now this is were the Kittens and I cross pathes. I was having a bad day, very depressed and feeling so dam sorry for myself and almost didn't go to visit my furry babies at the shelter. But something pushed me to go anyway. Like on previous visits to the Salem Willamette Humane Society I would whistle to my Cat's calling their names and in response they would "meow-meow" from the outdoor Catio. When I could he the faint cries from the Kittens I thought it was from the main Building. But it was coming from the Flower bed? The shelter was closed and it was an hour before an employee showed up to feed the Animals inside the shelter. I quickly told them about the Kittens and they had no troubles catching them. My love for my furry babies saved two kittens that very hot August day and now my life had meaning again. As my search continued for a place to live most places only allowed up to three Cats. My final two week was almost to much to bear. When the thought of giving up Six of my babies I had to think of other ways to keep more of them. I got to add a forth Cat to my keep list when I contacted tha VA Mental health department. They knew I suffered from Depression and agreed to write a letter to the Apartment manager were it explaining my need for a support animal. With time running out each visit had me pick and repick the lucky four Cats from an ever changing list. My only solise came when I met the family who Adopted "Space-Alien" it was a family with children one reached out for a hug and he climbed into their lap for a snuggle. His Brothers "Toby" and "Inker-Dinker" were adopted after I left. Their Sister "Gizzy" was adopted earlier that morning. Saturday was designated as an adopt a Pet day at PetsMart. My last and oldest Cat of 15 years "Sugar" was adopted by Sharon from the "FETCH" program because "Sugar" needed Dental Surgery that I could not afford to pay. A day doesn't go by without tear of sadness and tear of hope that the Cats are happy and getting all the love they need and deserve, because they were very much loved by me. Even their siblings search the new Apartment meowing in hopes of a response. So now I give you a word of warning, if you pray to God for his help, be very specific as to what you need from him. Two weeks before the Apartment fire, I prayed for God to help get me out of a dangerous neighborhood. I got the wrath of God! Well that's what I thought at the time, but it all turned out with no deaths or injuries to the other tenants or their pets. So when God calls me for a favor, I'll be there!
