WEBVTT 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:15.400 Hello friends, welcome to Rough Life. We have 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:18.179 quite a few first time fosters fostering with 00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:21.300 us this time, so welcome. We're super pumped 00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.120 that you're fostering with us. I'm Katie Keaton. 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:26.859 I live here in Alabama and I find all of the 00:00:26.859 --> 00:00:29.719 animals in Mississippi and Alabama that are sent 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.060 on transport. This is a podcast that I do to 00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.200 share the background stories of my animals and 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.460 any information that I have on them from before 00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:41.579 they came to me. However, I do spend a good portion 00:00:41.579 --> 00:00:44.359 of the episode complaining about my life before 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:48.579 I even get to the stories, so feel free to fast 00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:52.560 forward. For my returning listeners, I am very 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.259 proud to say that me, Melissa, and Chandler are 00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:58.259 all still here. If you didn't know, the three 00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:01.679 of us were more or less thrown into the foster 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:05.079 coordinating roles last transport when our prior 00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:10.170 foster coordinator just went AWOL. So last transport 00:01:10.170 --> 00:01:13.430 was their first time running intake and there 00:01:13.430 --> 00:01:15.469 were a few hiccups but overall I think everything 00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:19.489 went super smooth on all sides. We once again 00:01:19.489 --> 00:01:22.469 had more than enough fosters signed up for this 00:01:22.469 --> 00:01:26.290 transport thanks to all of you. We would have 00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:29.650 been done confirming fosters on Tuesday but then 00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:32.810 I added Hummingbird and her babies to the list 00:01:32.810 --> 00:01:36.739 to be reassigned. Dr. Burton added three from 00:01:36.739 --> 00:01:40.299 a local rescue up there. And then I got a call 00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:43.640 about the J litter yesterday morning, and I had 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.680 to add them last minute because they were too 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.159 stinking cute. So we have been still confirming 00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.390 fosters until yesterday. We're still in the process 00:01:52.390 --> 00:01:55.189 of figuring everything out and we appreciate 00:01:55.189 --> 00:01:57.209 everyone's patience and understanding right now. 00:01:57.209 --> 00:01:59.930 It is so chaotic. We are all brand new at this, 00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:03.370 still trying to see who does what best and what 00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:06.390 the best way is to proceed with things. It's 00:02:06.390 --> 00:02:08.889 still very fluid and there will still be a lot 00:02:08.889 --> 00:02:10.810 of changes made down the road, but for now I 00:02:10.810 --> 00:02:15.099 am super pleased with how it's all going. We 00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:18.759 closed on our new house two days before the last 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.900 transport and then moved in the night before 00:02:21.900 --> 00:02:24.360 the last public adoption event. I know that that 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.979 means nothing to you all, but those are literally 00:02:26.979 --> 00:02:31.659 the two busiest days of the month for me. So 00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:34.599 to have these huge life events happening at the 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.379 same time, man, I have been in a literal tailspin 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:46.740 since April 30th. We are still not unpacked or 00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:49.919 anywhere close to unpacking. We have transport 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.159 today, church tomorrow, and Monday morning we 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.680 leave for a week -long trip to Florida. Don't 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.439 get me wrong. I am super excited to get to go 00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.539 on this trip, very thankful that we're going 00:03:01.539 --> 00:03:03.699 on this trip, super excited to get to spend the 00:03:03.699 --> 00:03:07.699 time with Justin's family. But the idea of packing 00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:10.680 up all of our stuff again... all of our 12 month 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.060 old stuff and all of our dog stuff when I don't 00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:15.800 even know which house half of those things are 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.340 at right now. I can't talk about it anymore. 00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:22.180 I am literally breaking out in hives right now 00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:26.479 thinking about it. Moral of the story, Melissa 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.500 and Chandler are the only reason I'm still functioning 00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.840 right now and I'm so thankful for them. Oh, and 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:38.039 I guess... I guess, Jessica. She is my longtime 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.400 rescue partner turned best friend down here. 00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:43.560 I am pretty sure that we share the same brain 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.719 at this point because I don't even have to tell 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.120 her what needs to get done or what I need help 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.740 with. I'll just get a text a few hours later 00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.840 saying whatever it was that I was needing help 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.180 with is already taken care of. She is definitely 00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:58.620 earning her pay right now, which is a bummer 00:03:58.620 --> 00:04:02.180 for her because I don't pay her anything. Maybe 00:04:02.180 --> 00:04:05.659 someday, Jess. And I would say thanks to my mom 00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:08.580 for all her help, except she abandoned me this 00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:11.759 week to go on vacation herself right after we 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.159 moved into this house. What good is having a 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:17.180 mom if you can't even call her to come babysit 00:04:17.180 --> 00:04:23.360 for you 24 seven? Oh, I forgot that we have new 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:27.339 listeners. My mom has stage four terminal breast 00:04:27.339 --> 00:04:30.860 cancer, so. Obviously I'm kidding and obviously 00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:34.040 I am very glad that she got to go on this nice 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.759 relaxing beach vacation. It was just bad timing 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:41.660 for me. Okay, on to the stories. The theme for 00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.029 this transport is Formula One. I don't have a 00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:46.889 clue what that is. I'm pretty sure it's an Askar. 00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.470 I didn't do the names. I actually haven't even 00:04:49.470 --> 00:04:51.790 looked at them yet, so I am really hoping that 00:04:51.790 --> 00:04:54.790 I can pronounce them. Chandler took care of all 00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:57.250 of that for me this week, which was a huge help. 00:04:57.649 --> 00:05:00.029 One, because I didn't have to do it, but two, 00:05:00.610 --> 00:05:03.410 because now I can just blame her when people 00:05:03.410 --> 00:05:05.790 are fussing at me for the dumb names that their 00:05:05.790 --> 00:05:09.959 fosters have. Because I am the one assigning 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.920 fosters now, I know who is coming in on intake 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.860 mornings for reassignments. So these are animals 00:05:15.860 --> 00:05:18.160 that are already up there in the system and they 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.240 are just getting new fosters. Since I know who's 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.620 being picked up now, I am going to do just a 00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:26.439 brief recap of the stories for those fosters 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.310 in case they're tuning into this transport. Hummingbird 00:05:31.310 --> 00:05:34.569 came up on the bird transport on March 22nd. 00:05:34.569 --> 00:05:37.069 You can go to that episode for more details on 00:05:37.069 --> 00:05:40.180 her story. but she was super pregnant, ended 00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.779 up giving birth just a few weeks later in Virginia. 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.240 Hummingbird had been seen at a gas station here 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.579 in town for several days in a row back in January. 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.079 We were about to have super freezing temps and 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.220 our town's doggy daycare owners saw her sitting 00:05:56.220 --> 00:05:58.379 there and they took her home so that she wouldn't 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.879 freeze to death. They expected to find her owner 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.259 soon, but of course no one came looking for her. 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.899 They never do. Then... They realized that she 00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:09.079 was pregnant and they kept her for us until we 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.480 could get her on transport. The foster who has 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.120 had her and her puppies in Virginia this whole 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.980 time said that she is the perfect dog and the 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:21.420 best little mama. If you are fostering one of 00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:24.639 three puppies that have names that are not NASCAR 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.439 related, I don't know their names yet. They are 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.660 from a local rescue up there. I do not know what 00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:33.800 rescue they came from, where they came from, 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.860 or any information on them at all. I know that 00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:41.220 they were originally a litter of six and the 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:44.180 rescue found someone to take three of them, but 00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:47.000 the rescue wouldn't take these three, so wolf 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.360 trap offered. And if you are fostering black 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:54.629 coffee and her... Kitty, Beans and the Bell Fry, 00:06:54.829 --> 00:06:57.550 they are from the April 5th coffee transport. 00:06:58.129 --> 00:07:00.850 Mama and her three kittens were from our Alabama 00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:03.189 shelter friends. The other two kittens have already 00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:08.290 been adopted, but Beans has not yet. Okay, so 00:07:08.290 --> 00:07:10.470 that is everybody that's already up there that 00:07:10.470 --> 00:07:12.910 is coming to intake. The rest of these stories 00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:15.069 will be the animals that are being transported 00:07:15.069 --> 00:07:18.569 on the van to Virginia for the first time today. 00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:23.939 Pit Stop, formerly Booger, was an owner -surrender. 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:26.180 They are friends of ours from church. The husband 00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:29.360 was diagnosed with stage four cancer and then 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.759 died literally just a couple weeks after the 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.750 diagnosis. It was... devastating so fast and 00:07:36.750 --> 00:07:39.550 of course so shocking for the family. His wife 00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:42.490 is elderly as well and just couldn't manage Booger 00:07:42.490 --> 00:07:46.170 and his energetic goofball self so she reached 00:07:46.170 --> 00:07:47.889 out to us to see if we could help find him a 00:07:47.889 --> 00:07:50.750 better home. She was so tore up about giving 00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:52.430 him away she said it felt like she was losing 00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:55.029 her husband all over again because he loved this 00:07:55.029 --> 00:07:58.110 dog so much but she knew that he would be happier 00:07:58.110 --> 00:08:01.319 with another family. He has spent the last month 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.300 at Doggie Daycare down here and has been doing 00:08:03.300 --> 00:08:05.379 great. Everybody loves him. He's best friends 00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:08.500 with all the other dogs there. When Jessica texted 00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:11.120 them yesterday to say that we would be picking 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.379 him up, her phone auto corrected his name to 00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:17.259 Bogart. And the guy texted back and was like, 00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:19.240 oh my gosh, we thought this whole time that you 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.879 said his name was Booger, we've been calling 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:23.019 him Booger. And she's like, oh no, it was just 00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:24.759 auto correct. That is his name. And the guy was 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:27.819 like, oh good, because Booger is much more appropriate 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:34.009 for him. Oliver Behrman, formerly known as Parvo 00:08:34.009 --> 00:08:37.649 Pup. He showed up at a lady's house one weekend, 00:08:38.389 --> 00:08:41.529 just terrified and hid under her chair in her 00:08:41.529 --> 00:08:43.750 garage the whole time. A couple days later, she 00:08:43.750 --> 00:08:46.950 messaged us that she thought he was sick. So 00:08:46.950 --> 00:08:50.360 she started keeping him in a live trap. after 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.940 that to be sure that her dogs didn't catch it. 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.600 We of course did not know that at the time. So 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.539 Jessica went by a day or two later and was just 00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:00.659 going to give him some meds and assess the situation. 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.620 But when she saw one, where he was living and 00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:07.860 two, how close to death he was, she immediately 00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:10.879 brought him back to her puppy shed and got a 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.879 hard positive on the parvo test. So she started 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.360 him on fluids and meds, but he was so, so sick 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.080 and we were all so, so busy and she had other 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:23.460 healthy puppies that she was fostering as well. 00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:28.200 He was not moving and had diarrhea literally 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.899 oozing out of him. She said, you can leave that 00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:34.179 part out if you need to, but y 'all need to hear 00:09:34.179 --> 00:09:37.820 that too. So we decided for the first time ever 00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:40.139 that we were gonna take him to the vet and leave 00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:42.340 him there for treatment. We usually treat all 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:45.220 of our parvo puppies ourselves, but again, we 00:09:45.220 --> 00:09:50.250 are... We are in a tailspin right now. So he 00:09:50.250 --> 00:09:54.210 stayed in the ICU there for six days getting 00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:57.129 IV fluids and meds until he finally started keeping 00:09:57.129 --> 00:10:00.169 food in him. Jessica wanted me to point out, 00:10:00.289 --> 00:10:03.450 not to brag, that it was actually her boiled 00:10:03.450 --> 00:10:06.070 chicken that he finally started eating. That 00:10:06.070 --> 00:10:08.970 was the first thing that he started eating. He 00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:12.090 spent the next week and a half in isolation where 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.250 he finally started gaining some strength and 00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.809 getting his appetite back. He's been up at Jess's 00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:20.190 house since his negative parvo test last weekend 00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:22.429 and he's getting more and more energetic each 00:10:22.429 --> 00:10:25.029 day and we are so excited to see him coming out 00:10:25.029 --> 00:10:28.129 of his shell. He's still a little head shy and 00:10:28.129 --> 00:10:30.149 just getting to where he isn't scared of her 00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:32.610 backyard, so it'll be super fun for whoever's 00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:34.389 fostering him to watch him come out of a shell 00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:37.730 and turn into a full -fledged annoying puppy. 00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:45.450 The Y letter of two were owner surrenders. Non 00:10:45.450 --> 00:10:49.200 -rescue people down here call this an oops litter 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:53.019 those of us in rescue call it a how can you be 00:10:53.019 --> 00:10:55.419 so irresponsible and let dog after dog after 00:10:55.419 --> 00:10:58.179 dog of yours continue to get pregnant litter 00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:03.700 so this guy's bulldog got knocked up by a neighborhood 00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:06.639 dog he assured me that she's the only dog that 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.570 he has now that hasn't been spayed That would 00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:12.470 be because we have spayed and or taken all of 00:11:12.470 --> 00:11:15.590 his other dogs, but whatever. Nonetheless, they 00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:18.110 are still super precious little puppies. Usually 00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:20.370 this guy will give away as many puppies as he 00:11:20.370 --> 00:11:22.669 can and then reaches out to us to take whatever 00:11:22.669 --> 00:11:25.809 is left over. This time she only had two puppies 00:11:25.809 --> 00:11:27.769 and he contacted us when they were two weeks 00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:30.049 old. So we will at least give him credit for 00:11:30.049 --> 00:11:33.309 that and we will be getting his mom spayed for 00:11:33.309 --> 00:11:39.309 him. The E letter of two. Someone was walking 00:11:39.309 --> 00:11:42.490 with his four dogs out in the boonies. So basically 00:11:42.490 --> 00:11:46.169 just walking down a semi -paved gravel road with 00:11:46.169 --> 00:11:49.090 woods all around. His dog started going crazy 00:11:49.090 --> 00:11:51.649 and sniffed out these two puppies which were 00:11:51.649 --> 00:11:54.570 off on the side of the road and some really tall 00:11:54.570 --> 00:11:57.389 grass in the ditch. He couldn't leave them there 00:11:57.389 --> 00:11:59.230 so he brought them home with him and contacted 00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:03.480 us and agreed to keep them until transport. The 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.559 J letter of two, our owner surrenders. Okay, 00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:09.159 newbies, if you haven't listened to my other 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.639 episodes, I used to be an elementary school teacher 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:18.000 many, many moons ago. I retired. I retired at 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.059 the ripe age of 23. when Dr. Burton offered to 00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:26.320 match my teaching salary if I would come on full 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.379 time with Wolf Trap, but I still get contacted 00:12:29.379 --> 00:12:33.360 fairly often by my former co -workers and former 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.740 students' families to take animals for them. 00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.259 So these two are part of a litter of six that 00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:41.899 belonged to one of my former students. They were 00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:44.399 supposed to give me three puppies, but decided 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.580 at the very last minute to keep another one in 00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:50.259 addition to the other one that they were already 00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:53.159 keeping. They currently have those two puppies, 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:58.080 the mom, who is an Aussie -Palm mix, the dad, 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:02.059 that's a purebred Great Pyrenees, and then a 00:13:02.059 --> 00:13:05.299 random stray that looks a lot like a Roddy mix. 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.700 So fingers crossed that they come to their senses 00:13:08.700 --> 00:13:11.440 soon and surrender the other puppies to me soon. 00:13:12.580 --> 00:13:15.159 They gave away the other two puppies, I don't 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.100 know who has them, but I did tell her that if 00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:20.460 she would surrender at least one more puppy to 00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:23.059 me I would give her a spay voucher for the mom 00:13:23.059 --> 00:13:27.220 so hopefully she will take me up on that. The 00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:31.759 M litter of seven Their mom was run over when 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.740 these puppies were about two weeks old. They 00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:37.759 were posted on our rescue Facebook page and our 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.460 bottle feeding foster offered to take them. They 00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:43.059 bottle fed them until they were weaned and then 00:13:43.059 --> 00:13:45.679 Mama Becky took them for a little while and then 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.100 we sent them to another foster when my mom left 00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:50.980 for vacation. So these puppies have been all 00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:55.539 over the place. The A litter of 10 have quite 00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:58.379 a story. We got a call one morning about them 00:13:58.379 --> 00:14:00.500 from someone who said they had found 10 puppies 00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:02.360 on the side of the road and couldn't take them 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.899 home, so they just left them there. Then we got 00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:07.580 a call that afternoon from someone. I guess it 00:14:07.580 --> 00:14:08.980 was later in the evening. It was pretty late. 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.559 We got a call that night from someone who found 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.659 six puppies on the side of the road and was going 00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:15.480 to take them to Walmart the next day to give 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.240 them out in the parking lot. And then the next 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.740 day we got a message from a man that said he 00:14:21.740 --> 00:14:24.179 found 12 puppies on the side of the road, picked 00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:27.100 them all up and took them home with them. After 00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:29.279 comparing the pictures and locations from all 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:32.080 three stories, we realized these were the same 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.830 puppies the whole time. The person who took all 00:14:35.830 --> 00:14:38.870 12 of them home gave one away and was going to 00:14:38.870 --> 00:14:41.250 keep two for himself, but thankfully when Jessica 00:14:41.250 --> 00:14:44.129 went by to vaccinate them, she was able to convince 00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:49.549 him to give us the 10th one as well. The R letter 00:14:49.549 --> 00:14:52.590 of six are owner surrenders. The owners brought 00:14:52.590 --> 00:14:57.019 them to Dr. Jamie's clinic. newbies. Dr. Jamie 00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.860 is one of our local veterinarians. She was Dr. 00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:02.500 Burton's student many years ago at Mississippi 00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:06.360 State vet school and turned into her lifelong 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.139 best friend. Now we help her out with rescues 00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:13.039 and she helps us out with surgeries. The owner 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:15.139 said that the mom was dumped at their house and 00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:17.120 they were fine with keeping her and they were 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.019 about to make a vet appointment with Dr. Jamie 00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:21.200 to have her spayed when they realized she already 00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.360 had milk and was super pregnant. So they have 00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.500 an appointment to spay her next week and we will 00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:31.600 pay the bill for them. Okay, for the cats we 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:36.279 have Zach Brown, not the band. A lady was picking 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:39.379 up door dash delivery at Checkers in town and 00:15:39.379 --> 00:15:42.200 she heard him crying in the bushes. She got out 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.519 in the drive through and followed the sound and 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:48.320 he practically jumped into her arms. She saw 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.500 Jessica's post that a mutual friend had shared 00:15:50.500 --> 00:15:53.379 about our B2Cast fundraiser that we're doing 00:15:53.379 --> 00:15:56.220 right now and all the kittens that she had posted 00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:59.379 in there so she messaged B2Cast to take him. 00:16:00.289 --> 00:16:02.850 Claire Williams is an owner surrender. The owner 00:16:02.850 --> 00:16:05.970 is a client of Dr. Jamie. Dr. Jamie sent me her 00:16:05.970 --> 00:16:09.090 picture and asked if I was interested at all 00:16:09.090 --> 00:16:11.409 in taking her, and I think it took me all of 00:16:11.409 --> 00:16:17.230 two seconds to say, uh, heck yeah. Okay, Amala? 00:16:17.750 --> 00:16:21.210 Emola? Amala? Emola? No, I think it's Emola. 00:16:21.529 --> 00:16:28.779 Emola, if you have the I litter kitten. She was 00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:31.340 found shut up in a box in someone's driveway. 00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:33.500 The homeowners are elderly and they don't walk 00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:35.419 to the end of their driveway very often, so it 00:16:35.419 --> 00:16:39.159 is a miracle that they found her. The box was 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.820 taped shut and close enough to the road that 00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:44.440 someone could have run her over very easily. 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.360 Lewis Hamilton was found wandering through someone's 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.940 yard when he was about five weeks old. They never 00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:53.940 found the mom or any other kittens and they called 00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:57.460 one of our rescue partners to take them. The 00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:59.940 G litter of two wandered up to someone's house. 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:02.860 She posted them on Facebook and Jessica nabbed 00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:06.519 them up because they are so cute. The T litter 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.519 of five were found in a flower bed. They were 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.400 left for a day hoping that the mom would come 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.660 back, but she never did. So one of our rescue 00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:16.380 partners got a call about them, took them home 00:17:16.380 --> 00:17:18.359 and they were so young that she actually had 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.460 a bottle feed them for a little while. The S 00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:25.119 mama and her four kittens were owner surrenders. 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.000 I'm going to read y 'all exactly what Jessica 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:32.299 wrote about them. She said, quote, their story 00:17:32.299 --> 00:17:35.599 is pretty boring. This lady's car got pregnant, 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.279 but I've had really good stories this week so 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.180 we can just look past this one. Someone's car 00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:44.259 getting pregnant would have been a really interesting 00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.579 story, Jess. I wish you would have elaborated. 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.900 Obviously, she meant cat. That is all of the 00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:54.019 stories for this week. I am actually on my way 00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:56.880 out the door to go to transport now So fingers 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.200 crossed that everyone shows up. Everyone is healthy 00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.339 and no one shows up with more than they're supposed 00:18:02.339 --> 00:18:05.079 to Except those jay puppies. I'm really annoyed 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:07.240 about that still I'm hoping she has a change 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.680 of heart and will give me the other ones Thank 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.980 you so much for fostering.
