EMERGENCY!!!!! URGENT!!!! FOSTER HELP NEEDED… WE NEED HELP WITH 3 PG FEMALE CATS THAT ARE READY TO HAVE KITTENS SOON PLEASE HELP!! IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO HELP THEN PLEASE SHARE!!! EVERYWHERE.. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Catnip and Tails Rescue would like to THANK all the volunteers that assisted us today in rescuing 33 cats from a Plattsmouth hoarder. Homeward Bound in the Heartland, Husker’s Hope Dachshund Rescue, Feline Friendz of NE, Northern Plains Boxer Rescue and Happy Paws.

Folks, please note the dog groups that came forward to help a feline. This is what “rescue” is about and the efforts of all involved was humbling! I would personally recommend EACH of these groups to anyone and it was my pleasure meeting them, some for the first time today. I am honored to call you all, MY FRIENDS! Thank YOU!

Now watch for upcoming adoptions for these Plattsmouth felines….

Tears filled my eyes today seeing about 20 individuals (6 rescue groups) come together to aid these cats. I was 1 of the 5 individuals allowed into the home to capture these felines. We spent 2 hours collecting cats and putting them in carriers. We handed them off to volunteers outside that numbered each kennel, weighed the cats, collected info from home owner, transported them to the Plattsmouth shelter. More volunteers were at the shelter setting these cats up into kennels and offering them love. Happy Paws volunteers prepared and set up LOTS of food so that all of the volunteers had “plenty” for lunch.

We would also like to Thank the Plattsmouth Police Department for assisting us and keeping us all safe and secure while collecting the cats. It was a little humorous listening to the comments and watching the reactions from 2 detectives in particular that joined us inside the residence. This helped lighten the mood of the conditions we had to work in.

And finally a Thank you to Sue Baker for trusting me and Catnip and Tails to organize this “rescue roundup” when she confided in me two weeks ago. I feel it was well executed and we had a huge support preventing a lot of stress at the location. Cats are now all at the shelter and on their way to recovery.

Latest Update from Vet: 6-8 felines with raging Upper Respitory, ALL have many dental issues, some severe, All had ear mites ranging from mild to severe, 1 possible ring worm, several suffer with diarrhea. Best news – all are treatable. Having been apart of this seizure I have to add – overall health was better than I had expected.
