Baranduin’s Kitties Harry & Penny Fund

[lavendertook]

It’s Giving Tuesday and it would be lovely for the rescue that is taking care of baranduin’s cats Harry & Penny got donations in their name. The wonderful rescue is called Feline Friends of Sammamish and their website is Feline Friends of Samamish and there donation page is: https://donorbox.org/general-donation-192 . Please check the write comment box on the donation page and write: For Harry & Penny.

If our donations stretch over the care these two need, it would be wonderful--this rescue has really earned it. Max Pau, their rescue coordinator Contacted me back so quickly, and went back and forth on the weekend to find Harry and Penny and get them safely inside, caught them, and brought them to the rescue with loving care. He is owned by a flame point siamese, and Lora told me she hoped to get a flame point one day.

After Max took them in and got them vet checked, he sent them home with his top vet tech volunteer Carerra who has been taking care of them in her guest room in her garage with loving care. They have been bathed, treated for parasites, as Harry had many which accounts for why he’s so thin, but can now begin to fatten up. They are undergoing multiple tests and vet visits as Harry tested positive once for FeLV, but the test is notorious for false positives, so both are getting more tests and Penny is getting the vaccine. She had one dose of the vaccine two years ago, so fingers crossed it protected her.

Harry and Penny have been coming out of their shells due to the repeated loving brushing Carerra has been giving them. She has been wonderful at updating me and hanarobi daily. Carerra told us Penny comes out from under the couch when she can’t stand the sound of Harry being brushed anymore and that she”is pretty sure Penny would sell her soul AND Harry’s for a good brushing." If I can upload pics here, you’ll see evidence of this.

Feel free to link and share the donation link to Feline Friends of Sammamish widely. And if you know anyone in the greater Renton, WA area (south Seattle down to Tacoma, WA) who can foster, even temporarily, two sweet cats who could benefit form being with someone they could climb into bed with right now or can spread the word where they live, please share all info here far and wide. There’s nothing more baranduin would want us to do in her memory.

So glad they're being so well cared for! ♥ And ****more hugs**** to you for all the work you've done to make sure they're safe and well.

Oh, man, they are pretty little goobers. (That's affectionate; my own goober is currently hunting a moth.)

Thank you for all the wrangling; I donated some, as I could. I'll set a reminder to check and see if I can give more after the holidays.

thank you so much for all this.

I am in that area and I will do my best to spread the word.

I would include Bellevue up through Everett as local too; Everett is about as far from Renton as Tacoma is from Renton.

This is so heartwarming. I know Lora would be so pleased that everyone was so kind to these two. I love that Harry was treated for parasites and has a new lease on life. Thank you for filling us in.

Done!

Thanks for putting out the call for donations!

Had the cats run away? I'm so glad they were found and are being fostered. I've given what little I can manage.

Thank you so much for sharing!
