Missing Cat, Sammy

Kristen writes: Hi, folks- Our cat, Sammy, has gone missing (again).  Sammy is a juvenile, female, gray/white short-hair tabby - VERY friendly and social.  She was last seen Saturday morning on Wallingford, roaming between 47th (where we live) and the qfc parking lot. She was wearing a (pink?) collar with our address and phone # on the tag (no chip).  She is well known around our area, and no one has seen her, which makes us think she's stuck in a…

Dogs and Chickens

We heard this tragedy from Alison over the weekend: Here is a photo of the late, great Rhode Island Red, Ginger.  She and her flockmate Cricket were killed yesterday (Friday) at about 9.00 a.m. in my upper Wallingford backyard by two dogs.  They injured a third chicken, Lacey, so severely that I had to kill her, and Rita is sitting in a cardboard  box in my kitchen.  We'll see if she will manage to pull through.  Why am I hoping that…

Stray Cat Shuffle

Suzanne writes: I currently have 2 cats that showed up at my back door. Bella (the tabby colored one) is sweet and would love a quiet, adult home. Sweetpea (the black Norweigan Forest cat) is very active. She loves to play and would love a home with a family and preferably other animals. I live in a very small place and having these two is giving my existing kitty anxiety. I do not want to turn them into a shelter. I would prefer the right person/family adopt them. Please email me at skempowered…
