Rescued from Tree
Little Huey
This pitiful little kitten was found lodged in a car wheel. He was covered in oil, fleas and ringworm. It is hard to believe that he is one of the lucky survivors. Little Huey, named after his rescuer, is in foster care and we will keep you posted on his recovery.
Doxie found a home
The little 10 year old abandoned Doxie found a loving home thanks to a very caring and patient animal lover.
It seems that abandoned animals are everywhere in this community. Rescuers must learn to concentrate on the lives saved and focus on the successes. This strategy keeps us all going, saving one life at a time.....
Justice4Paws Demonstration for Lacey
Justice4Paws, a local group of animal welfare advocates with a national and international following, will hold a peaceful demonstration on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. in front of the Superior Court building at 1415 Truxtun Avenue, southeast corner of Chester Avenue. Justice4Paws hopes that Robert Gonzales will receive the maximum and appropriate sentence at his hearing that morning. This individual, by pleading no contest to animal cruelty charges, has not denied the act of throwing bleach in Lacey's eyes, beating her with a golf club, tying her to a tree with her mouth duct taped shut and leaving her until she was found three days later. Lacey is recovering from these heinous acts, but her psyche has been scarred for the rest of her life. We cannot allow her tomenter to get away with only a slap on the wrist.
Participants are asked to show their support of Lacey with peaceful signs, such as Justice 4 Lacey or Maximum Sentence. Please join Justice4Paws on May 18 at 8:00 a.m at the Bakersfield courthouse.
For further information, please contact Karen Marousek at 589-6845. Justice4Paws thanks you for your support.
Dog in need of home
We may be The Cat People but we love canines too. This quiet and well mannered 10 year old Doxie was abandoned. Candy, our volunteer, took him to her vet and had the full works done. He was already neutered. She has contacted all rescue groups and no luck. If you would be able to take him in, if only for a while, we could continue looking for a permanent home. Candy would be willing to supply food and items necessary. By the middle of next week she may have to resort to the County shelter. He does not like cats..... You can email barb H at thecatpeople.org if you can help.
