Stella needs a forever home!

Needs a good home: Stella is 8 months old, spayed, has the worlds LOUDEST purr, Is Best Buddies with an 70 pound American Bulldog, and is frequently caught licking him, rubbing against him, sleeping near him. There is an adoption fee (we paid for the spay) but honestly, its negotiable! We can't afford 4 cats!!!

If you are interested in coming to visit and maybe taking this adorable girl home please call Chris or Joy @ 315-726-2631

Oh I am a BAD BAD Dog Trainer...

To my defense the Westcott Dog Project got seriously sidetracked when I was knocked down by my own big dog and cracked my ankle, then had to have back surgery.

So apologize. To the people who have been e-mailing and asking about dog pictures YES they are going to be up I swear!!!

Starting with two that are close to home.

First because well he is my darling:

Kayne Micheal:



With his mom (me) of course. One of the reasons we still hustle around the Syracuse area wrangling strays and trying to get them back to their homes and telling people about low cost spaying and neutering.

Next up:

DD! aka Dirty Dog.



Resident Shop Dog at Cerios. Sweetheart by day, I do not envy the fool who would try to break into this place. . .Surrounded by people who spoil her rotten all day long and then gets to bark herself silly at every noise and not be told to quiet down, and the vacation and dental plan is great too.

Great job if you can get it!

That's all for now. I have two more but once again I am at a loss as to which computer, or hard drive, or external hard drive, or thumb drive, or G locker I have them in...

Curse you technology!!!

I promise my dog training abilities and Humane education curricula are much more organized.

Paws up!

Chicken in the city

Today while walking your trusty investigator found a house that has been not only had checkens living in their backyard with no chicken coop. Further they routinely slaughter the Roosters when they become of age (ie when they get noisy and the neighbors complain)

You may wonder how I know this. Well the couples wonderfu children, and neighbors told me all of this after I hear clucking coming from the back of their house and was honestly flummoxed.

A few points. It is COMPLETELY illegal to have chickens in the city of syracuse as domestic farm animals in a residential setting.

It is also completely unhealthy, illegal, and cruelty to animals to slaughter them yourself in a backyard with no proper equipment, and completely unsanitary.

Tomorrow I will be calling Codes, the ASPCA, FARM Sanctuary, and the News to get these chickens out of this bad situation.

I was just going to walk to the store and back. that was all!

Foster cat 3.0 Thomas

Thomas was tested again.

I left him out in my office with a pile of cushions and a pile of laundry as well as my office chair and out of his dog pen.

He was out for 6 hours unattended with full access to cat box.

He didn't have an accident or eliminate outside his box.

I even had the dog come in last night and visit him while he was in my lap for 2 minutes, he hissed and was wary but no inappropriate eliminations.

some things I consider.

1. I have a rather relaxed and somewhat quiet household.

2. We don't yell at the cats when they are bad, we just correct the behavior or tsk or hiss.

3. They have plenty of toys and other stimulation including a fish tank and bird feeder outside each window.

4. We try to give all out cats independent one on one time (One cat even get my shower time as his one on one time!)

5. We don't use air fresheners, commercial chemicals, or a lot of strongly scented things.

These may all be a factor in why he is suddenly more comfortable here.

Kitten Update 2.0

So medically he is fine.

But his owner calls us screaming he is urinating outside his box and she can't stand it and wants to return him.

We take him back and have him under supervision.

I immediately rule out Urinary tract crystals with urinalysis.

His diet is switched to Urinary tract health.

Litter box is changed daily,

Toys are plentiful and all specifically made to be stimulating without being dangerous.

He is located in a quiet, roomy but secluded XL Dog kennel with plenty of play space but areas to hole up.

So we sit back and wait.

He goes three days, no inappropriate urination.

So I let him out into my office.

And we wait.

Again, no inappropriate urination.

So I test him again by lettin other cats come in when he is in his cage.

He starts batting at them trying to play and sniffs interestedly under the door, but no inappropriate urination.

I do some research and even call the parents to let them know what our verdict is and ask if they would like to give him another chance.

They do not.

He is a sweet, funny, loving kitty with leopard spots who loves to cuddle, give kisses and play until he drops.

I think he would be good with a one cat house and a person who was a homebody. I don't think he'd be a good apartment cat not because he pees but because he cries when you leave because he is such a people cat.

He is great with kids and LOVES everyone he meets.

He has met our huge Bull dog and shows no fear. I think he would be OK with a large gentle cat friendly dog.

But if you have a lot of antiques or have never had an explorer kitten, he may drive you a little insane because he is a weasel that explores EVERYTHING!

Speaking of which, I need to get him out of my books now.

Tigris, Petland, VegFest Oh MY!

Long Time no shout Out.

Sorry your fearless leader was incapacitated with litter after litter of abandoned kittens in her office.

I have been kitten free for a month and a half! HURRAH!

Petland Demo went awesome, my nephews 1ST! He wants to protest the circus next, his mother said she was willing to let him go, awesome.

Tigris Circus is going to be in town next weekend April 3,4, and 5. From 5:45 to 7 I believe that the shows are the same times Saturday and Sunday as well. If you can come to ANY of these protests I am coming with the elephant checklist, camcorder, digital camera, emergency cells, and nubers for ACLU. We will have 2 minors with us as long as no one trespasses on private circus property and is friendly we will have NO PROBLEMS.

Monty is lead on security again and I knit him a hat last year and sent him a christmas card to he and his wife, we are in like peas and corn people.

Vegfest. Last year we made the previous management vanish into dust and it was our TRIAL RUN people. THis year its not the same day as Juice jam, we will have MORE College kids, MORE youth, MORE professors and their Children and MORE people who want college kids to see their vegan and vegetarian wares.

Vegfest Syracuse is going to be the number one go to event in Syracuse this September, but we need you to make it happen!

Meetings are every other Saturdays at StrongHearts Cafe. E-mail Kindoutreach@gmail.com if you are interested.

No adoptions right now, but soon we will be hearing about kittens because rutting season is upon us and stupid people who havn't fixed their pets are going to be wondering why Fluffy is getting so fat. If you can foster kittens and would like to be a temperary or permanent home to a fosterkitten e-mail us.

Thats it!

KO out.
