Here's Who You're Helping

I wanted to share with you a picture, so you can see who you are helping with your donations to the Foster Program today. It was taken by Marguerite, Developmental Director at the Humane Society.

This is Pinky. She's fresh out of the tub, after getting a bath from the fabulous "Bath Brigade" down at the HS.

Pinky

Pinky came into the shelter covered in fleas, and on death's doorstep due to flea anemia. She was named "Pinky" because her coat literally turned pink from all of the flea blood in her bath water.

Now that's she's been treated, and is clean and flea-free, she's doing great. She'll be spending some time with a foster family, and once she's made a full recovery, she'll be available for adoption.

Thanks to your generous donations today, kitties like Pinky are getting a chance at a very good life.

I thank you for that. This sweet little kitty deserves it.

xoxo

PINKY UPDATE! First of all,, Pinky's a boy!! Sorry, little man,, I was misinformed! And get this,, SUE (of Pitter Pats fame) is be going to be taking care of this little fellow until he's ready for surgery! You just hit the lottery, Mr. Pinky!

  1. Pinky looks like she's not very happy about having her picture taken before she's done her hair. :)

    I've been putting it off for no good reason, so I'll make my donation. Then I'm going to make a donation to my local cat rescue (http://www.mrfrs.org/), too.

  10. Pinky made me cry. I have never, EVER seen an animal look so HOPEFUL. It's an "I'm kinda nervous about what's coming but not all humans are meanies and THESE humans are taking care of me, so maybe I'll have a home someday too!"

  16. Oh, poor bit... felt all itchy and weak, then got taken to a confusing new place where who knows what would happen.

    Think he's realized though that he's being taken care of, getting plenty of cuddles and kibble, and life's looking up!

  20. That poor, sweet baby. I'm glad he's all running around and purring now. He's a big itty bitty!

    For everyone who wants updates, Sue's Pitter Pats of Baby Cats blog is in the blogroll to the right. Her baby kitties, and her grown up kitties, are just as sweet as Laurie's.

  21. Sweet Pinky! He looks suprisingly curious and OK for a dude who just got scrubbed (mine sure hated it). I bet he felt better immediately with all of the yuck off him and his skin clean.

  22. Oh my gosh what a face. Pinky is so cute, I'm glad he got rid of all those awful fleas poor thing!

    ReplyDelete
  23. yes, please, dry Pinky pic!! What a sweetie.

    I swear strays always make the best pets. Once they get over their nerves, it just seems like they become so grateful and loving for their new life. "You mean I can have food whenever I'm hungry? My paws get to walk on a nice soft carpet? I get brushes and scritches and toys?? Really??"

  28. So many of us fell in love with Pinky through this post and will miss him even though we never even met him in his short little life. Sleep softly, little starfish.
