Fido and Wino’s R.O.A.R. Squad

ROAR SquadWHAT’S A R.O.A.R. SQUAD

R.O.A.R. stands for Rescue Owners Are Rockin and this Squad is being assembled by Shauna Stewart from Fido and Wino, a blog where fine dogs (and fine wine) are very much appreciated. “Our goal is to make having a rescue animal THE coolest thing around. Ya game? Perfect! We’d love to have you!”

WHY THE R.O.A.R. SQUAD?

Shauna’s inspiration for this project stems from the love she has for her own rescue dog, the lovely Miss Kayloo, as well as her deep concern for the 6-8 million animals housed in US shelters every year, as estimated by the US Humane Society.

Guest Post: Choosing a Rescue Group

My first guest post, “Choosing a Rescue Group” is live at MoxiePaws, a wonderful pet blog hosted by Christine Koretz.

Kim Clune and Cats

Head on over for a glimpse at the pre- adoption process. This is how we found a perfect match, not only between us and our new cats, but between us and our contractual responsibilities.

Kitten Obsession

Jed NapsJed was sleeping in Tim’s spot on the couch as Tim came home from work last night. Knowing full well that the little beasties spend gobs of time pouncing and bouncing around, Tim asked with a note of sarcasm, “Is this all you do all day? Sleep?”

I answered for Jed. “Are you kidding me? He’s busy growing up – right there in front of your eyes!”

Jackson and Jed already seem changed since Saturday. Their confidence is building, their connection to us is strengthening, and their little bodies are stretching and lengthening. The changes are happening at a perceptible rate.

A RESCUE CATTERY LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN

Yesterday, we visited an amazing rescue organization called Animalkind, Inc. in Hudson, NY. Katrin, the woman behind Animalkind, Inc., and her devoted staff pull cats from death row, manage feral cat colonies and rehabilitate injured cats to adopt out every furry soul they can. This shelter is unique. A house rather than a facility, every amenity is provided for the cats, the majority of whom roam free. Let me just say, being surrounded by more than 100 free-roaming felines in one room is quite an experience, one you have to see to believe.

What I found most special about AnimalKind, Inc. is the way the cats’ relationships and emotional health were considered and preserved. If a cat came from an irresponsible barn situation, Animalkind, Inc. requests that a responsible barn situation be provided. If two cats have bonded at the house or prior to rescue, they adopt the pair together. Impressed by the sensitivity to cat relationships especially, I bought an extra cat carrier and went with an open mind. Two were certainly a possibility if both were a fit. Continue reading
