Kitty transport, plus a pup

Lots of kittens, an injured cat, Tate, and a special puppy, Little Doug, rode out with Denise to the metro on Thursday, June 14th.

TATETate came to the shelter because he and a small dog were friends and the dog used to carry Tate around by the neck over a period of time causing a open wound on the back. Poor Tate put up no resistance to the dog and used to sleep beside him, only to be further injured. Thankfully Tate was brought to the shelter and Feline Rescue took him in. Shan and Brian of Shan's Shack made the rescue.

Another sad case was Little Doug, a tiny puppy unable to use his hind legs, who was rescued from a ditch in Cass Lake. Leech Lake Legacy had him in Animal Care Clinic where he was x-rayed and they found 3 bullets in his little body. The puppy was about 6 weeks old and very darling. Nancy and Tom brought him from ACC and he rode out with Denise to AHS and met Jen and Marilou. Little Doug is being assessed there and needs all the prayers he can get.

KATNISSPUFFFERRISALMONDA litter of kittens found at a farm in Goodridge went to a foster home with Feline Rescue. They are Puff, Almond, Katniss, and Ferris (named by the students from Youth Works) They were rescued by Shan and Brian of Shan's Shack.

IZZYAnother kitten named Izzy went to foster care with Denise. Along the transport route Karen stopped and picked up another little tabby kitten, named Squirt, which Denise also kindly took into her care.

TOM, DENISE, NANCYThank you Shan, Brian, Denise, Nancy, Tom, AHS, Jen, and Marilou for your commitment to help these animals. We all made a difference!

Sincerely,
Karen and RLRR

  1. Sadly our Little Doug was unable
    to recover from injuries (3 bullets, with two next to his spine). He crossed the Rainbow
    Bridge the next day, but took with him a tremendous amount of love and TLC from so many people. He
    will be missed but of course never forgotten.....his bright eyes, happy smile, kisses galore.
