Short On Luck (S.O.L.)

Short On Luck

 

...is an emergency foster program for needy cats.

...working in cooperation with community rescue groups and Animal Services Departments.

 

will purr for food

A new phase of the Short on Luck Program was launched in February of 2004. The Safe Place component of the S. O. L. is being developed to provide a temporarily safe place for cats that are caught up in a domestic violence situation and/or at risk of violence from their environment. The concept is to provide a temporary sanctuary through a network of emergency foster homes.

We hope to work cooperatively with local law enforcement, Animal Services and battered women's organizations. If you would like to participate in this new and unique program, please contact us via our website or at (925) 808-8364. For more informaiton on current S.O.L. kitties, please visit our website at www.fffcatfriends.org.

S.O.L. RESCUE!

Meet Mikey
Our Featured S.O.L. Cat!


It started with a sad image of a kitten…

.

Mikey when he first came in.

Mikey when he first came in.

It was one of those late nights...perusing Facebook and networking with other Rescues and Shelters. In the myriad of little faces and sad stories desperately needing rescue one little orange boy grabbed my attention and stuck in my mind.

There was something about him that touched my heart. He was in a “high kill, horrible shelter" in San Bernardino, with little chance of getting out alive, along with hundreds more trapped in an inhumane system under capacity for care; a flawed philosophy!

Most would not make it alive!

Mikey on the mend.

Mikey on the mend.



I "shared" his posting, hoping a local Rescue would save him. But after several postings, he disappeared. My conscience made me inquire and network with a local rescue in partnership to save him, ridiculously named "LEMON"!?

Through that collaboration, he was rescued, and paid transport brought him to FFF. He arrived sickly, underweight, listless, and with an infection of toxoplasmosis. Since his time here with FFF, he has responded to his medication, put on weight, and become an active, gentle, loving boy!

Mikey enjoying life.

HE HAS ALSO STOLEN MY HEART! He has also stolen the hearts of all who meet him. He has been renamed "MIKEY" and knows his name! Upon completion of his medication regime, he will remain with FFF for evaluation to see if he qualifies for a therapy cat for our VISITORS IN FURS program.

In the meantime, he enjoys lots of love and rips run with his foster brothers and sisters.

GO MIKEY!
