Gandy TNR Kitties Return Home!

Hi Everyone!

My apologies for the delay in blogging. Since my first post regarding our TNR Gandy Bridge Mission, we've succesfully released not only our first group of kitties but a second batch as well!

Our release of the first group was exhilarating, bitter sweet, and full of emotion. As you'll see in the pictures, everyone was very excited to be back home and a few vocalized their return with jubilent meows. Although we only returned with 9, Isaac's little spirit was undoubtedly present and I'm certain she watches over her family donned in her new wings and halo. She is exactly as she should be...safe, sound, and loved beyond our imagination.
Thank you Isaac. You've touched many.

Our second mission to the Gandy was just as successful although we only managed to gather three more cats needing surgery. Even though we didn't get as many, we were overwhelmed by the surprising welcom we received from our first release group! The pictures speak a thousand words. It was as though they were thanking us. With little hesitation, one by one emerged from their mangrove home and came to claim a gentle pat or head rub from us. Cali, Ash, Jonah, Cashew, Chip, Salsa, and Buster made their way over and seemed to acknowledge that we had proven ourselves worthy of their trust. It was a gift we did not expect and one that we will not soon forget. The three that we acquired that evening were David (we believe he may be Goliath's brother), Krystal, and Skooter. We are so excited to report that these three were given clean bills of health and did not require any medicine! Even more exciting is that Krystal and Skooter have been adopted!!! They have a loving home where food, water, and shelter will never be something they go without again! Thank you to their new mom!!

Our next mission (#3) is scheduled for tomorrow, November 13th, 2008!

We do our best to make bi-weekly visits to check on every one and bring fresh food and water and lots of love.
The Gandy Bridge is in constant need of trash clean up so we bring a few garbage bags with us each visit. Volunteers are welcome to join us in the clean up efforts!!!

I'll try to make my posts more timely...this semester is almost over thank goodness!! December 8th is the last day! Woo hoo! I'll have a few weeks to breathe before my head is stuck in the books again. In the meantime, thanks so much for you patience and continued support!

Blessings to you all,
