Callie was surrendered to the Livingston County (Mich.) Animal Control by her family. Don't know why. 12 years old! Sweet. Front paw declawed. Good with kids, dogs and other cats. I've been tracking her ... suddenly - this morning she disappeared from AC's web site. This is not good. So I called. Turns out she was in the dreaded "back room" with URI symptoms. That is a death sentence.
I just couldn't let AC be the last place on Earth this older gal would ever see. So I started working emails and the phone. I called in a marker for a foster home; I asked the Humane Society if they would take her as a transfer, since there was likely no springing her as an individual or as a rescue.
Well, thank heavens it all worked out! The HS did pull her and she is now in safe hands. She will be fostered by a couple that owns a vet clinic!!
Here is darling Callie:
