Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005WHOOOOOOO - HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh man did we need *THIS* bit of good news. One of my daughter's dogs, Gypsy, was found and is safe; and we're hoping the other was with her (she was chipped, but Digger was still a puppy and had not been chipped yet). Here's is the link with her rescue picture (my daughter is Erin). I didn't even wait for my daughter to complete the call to the rescuers before rushing downstairs to my office to tell you all (the phone lines are getting herd to use because of Rita). http://www.iberiahumane.com/Rescued%20Dogs.htm *THANK YOU*** purrers!

I was just thinking about you and wondering if either of the daughter's dogs had been found. I hope the puppy turns up as well. Did he have a collar with some I.D. on it? Both our cats wear collars with tags, but I have put microchipping way up at the top of my list. My only hesitation was deciding which brand would be the most likely to be read by the most common scanners. Do you know what brand of microchip Gypsy has? I can hardly wait to hear about how they will be reunited. I've been wondering all along if your daughter's dogs would turn up in Houston because so many of the pets rescued in New Orleans have been taken there. Where do they have Gypsy?

Wonderful, wonderful!!!!!! We're happy for you all and for Gypsy. Sandy is wagging her tail in pleasure and will continue to send doggy-wags for Digger to be found A-OK.

Digger is safe along with Gypsy. Prrrrrrrrr.... Rita turns far enough north so that Houston is on the backside of the circulation. Prrrrrrrrrrrr.... Rita comes ashore as a minimal category 4 or even category 3. Prrrrrrrrr.... All the Crewes and relatives in Houston ride out the storm in safety. Prrrrrrrrrrr....

Prrrrrrrrrrr.... What Wayne said. Dogs are very good swimmers and there is still hope for Digger. It's just a case of finding out where he might have been rescued to (I hope..) It would be wonderful if he was found - then you would all be known as safe.

Great news. But seeing all those poor lost doggies made me cry. Purrs for all of them to either be reunited with their people or to find good new homes. SignatureMarina, Frank, Miranda and Caliban.

I am always looking for amazing stories about pets being re-united all because they were microchipped. It's one of my "causes" I guess, I try to put them in the newsletter. People like to read that kind of story, and maybe it will convince someone to microchi;p their cats and dogs. Sherry > I"d love to heard the story how they came about finding him.

People like to read that kind of story, > and maybe it will convince someone to microchi;p their cats and dogs. > Sherry Catnipped said that it was the I.D. tag that identified the dog, not the microchip. The I.D. had information on the owner. This is not to say that the microchip isn't important. Although both our cats wear collars with I.D. tags, I've been thinking a long time about getting them microchipped, too. My only hesitation is deciding which brand to get. As for I.D. tags, one of my pet peeves is people who will put a collar on a pet, but no I.D. on the collar. I really appreciate it when a stray dog wanders by and it has an I.D. tag with the pet's name and the owner's contact information. When the I.D. tag is missing, especially in a situation like Katrina, the microchip would be essential. I mean, how many black cats with yellow eyes are there? If we got separated from our kitties, how would I be able to tell if the found photo is of Cinder? Or the gray tabby is Rosie? Annie >> I"d love to heard the story how they came about finding him. I am >> always looking for amazing stories about pets being re-united all [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > tabby is Rosie? > Annie Persia has a collar and a tag. The tag identifies her as belonging to me and gives my phone number. It also indicates she is microchipped so they'll know to scan her for my info if they weren't going to do it already. When I got her chipped I didn't know there was more than one kind, but the vet said what she has is the one most commonly read by the scanners in the U.S. I firmly believe in both a collar with tag and microchipping. Just remember if you move to update the info on both.

Annie > ...When I got her chipped I didn't know there was more than one kind, > but the vet said [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Annie I had her chipped back in 2001. I don't know the brand but the service is the Home Again Companion Animal Retrieval System. I just called them and they said it's readable by nearly all shelter and vet offices. She'd only been with me a month when she managed to slip out the door as I was retrieving a package on the stoop. Then a neighbor let out two dogs (not on leashes - totally against the law) and they scared her so she ran off. I was wandering around calling for her for two days. I could barely function at work. After 48 hours I gave up on her; figured she was lost or dead. I sat on the patio swing and cried. I called for her one more time, then went inside. Suddenly I heard this plaintive MEOW?! at my back door. Persia! OMG! She found her way back to me! I made an appointment the next day to have her chipped. Nowadays she doesn't try to get out; I think she had her fill of the big OUT. She had mud in her coat and leaves stuck to her; she'd obviously spent a couple of nights under a bush somewhere. I bought her a kitty-walk enclosure so she can be outside but within my supervision. Jill Rusty already had a chip when I adopted him more than 10 years ago from Humane. All the cats and dogs from the local Humane were chipped before they are put up for adoption.

Purrs were flying about in several directions. I'll look into that Home Again chip. I think that's what my daughters have in their respective dogs Annie Jill, where did you get a kitty walk? Do you have pictures? Rhonda > I bought her a kitty-walk enclosure so she can be outside but within my > supervision. > > Jill > Jill, where did you get a kitty walk? Do you have pictures? > > Rhonda Here's Persia in her KittyWalk. It's basically a long tube with mesh covering it and I added a little covered "kabana" at the end. http://community.webshots.com/photo/92115860/135114987hYyQpe I ordered it from www.drsfostersmith.com They don't ship outside of the U.S. but there are others who sell the system who may. They can be purchased to stake into the ground, or, like mine, sit flat on the patio or deck. They can be connected to a cat-flap. There are climbing towers available and larger "rooms" IIRC to attach and more than one unit can be hooked to another for more length. She loves it. Here's a picture of one with an upstairs (different merchant): http://www.catsanddogspa.com/kittywalktownandcountry.html Jill >> I bought her a kitty-walk enclosure so she can be outside but within >> my supervision. >> >> Jill > Here's Persia in her KittyWalk. ...> http://community.webshots.com/photo/92115860/135114987hYyQpe Jill Persia is a cutie.

Persia doesn't have anything that elaborate; just the main Kittywalk tube and I later added the kabana on the far end of it. She loves being able to sit outside and will ask at the back door for me to please put her in it :) Jill I'm so very happy and relieved!
