We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am thankful for all my cats. They were/are all rescues. Many showed up at our door, others trapped for TNR and I kept them and a few from shelters too.
Right now, Joanie is my only cat from a shelter. I adopted her with her brother, my Angel Sammy in 2010.
Please help spread the word today to help get pets in shelters their forever homes.
Here’s what you can do:
On Facebook, Twitter and Instagram-post a photo of your pet and tag is #RememberMeThursday and #SeeTheLight.
You can learn more about this special day and other ways to help by visiting the RememberMeThursday.org
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
Good post for Remember Me Thursday, Ellen. I will probably repost the one I did last year, to social media. Almost all of our cats have been rescued directly from the streets, roadsides, and woods. XO
I am glad you have rescued so many. XO
Joanie posed so beautifully for these photos! 🙂 <3
Thank you. XO
Us pups are from two different shelters, even though we both first came from Texas. Kind peeps took us and others from there to various shelters in Michigan, where our petcretary ‘found’ us.
I am glad she found you both. XO
All of your cats have found a wonderful home with you.
Thank you. XO
You have the luckiest cats EVER – you always help the helpless, the homeless, the ones left behind. They have a new and happy life at “Pilch-Haven”…….and we think that’s the best gift of all.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
Thank you. Teddy and ANgel Sammy are/were blessed too> XO
I agree with Pam and Teddy. XXX
Thank you. XO
You have provided a happy, safe and loving home to so many fur babies. They are blessed and so are you! All our cats have been adopted from shelters. There are many, many precious little souls in need of good homes. xo
Thank you. I am glad you rescued all yours too. XO
I didn’t remember that Joanie was Sammy’s sister (I interpreted that as in litter mates, but upon re-reading it, that might’ve been wrong).
Yes, they were litter mates or so I was told. I didn’t get them until they were 4.
We’ve always gotten our babies from the shelter. They need us the very most. I love all your kitties too and am thankful I found you.
I’m all ready for the fill-ins. Thank you for co-hosting.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. xoxo ♥
Thank you. XO
Joanie you and Angel Sammy were so very lucky to be adopted by your family
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you. XO
Charlee: “We’re all in favor of helping pets get out of shelters!”
Chaplin: “After all, each one of us was in a shelter once, even if just for a day or two.”
Lulu: “That was me. I was only in the shelter for a day or two before Mama brought me home.”
Java Bean: “Lucky. I was in the shelter for over a month after all my friends from my street pack got adopted!”
Glad you were all rescued. XO
Great post and so important to remind people to adopt rescues. I adopted Oreo and Cookie from a rescue. Kit turned up on our doorstep, a newborn baby abandoned so I consider her a rescue too.
Thank you. I am glad you rescued them all. XO
All your kitties are special and so loved, they are all thankful every single day. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you. Yours are too. XO
Those are challenging fill-ins, Ms E! And we hope your family and kitties are hugging a lot and we send our own hugs to you.
We hope you do them. 🙂 XO
Joanie is a doing a wonderful job as spokescat for your Remember Me Thursday post. Thank you Ellen for all you do for cats and to spread the word about adopting and/or rescuing them.
Thank you. XO
Joanie did a fabulous job as spokescat.
Thank you. XO
Rescued is our favorite breed, and we hope to never be without a kitty in our lives.
Same here. 🙂
It’s such an important day!
Yes, it is.
Rescuing off the streets helps the shelters, too, in a way. Those kitties never have to end up there.
Good point. 🙂 XO
Thank you for taking all these babies in and giving them a good home.
Thank you. XO
I’m looking forward to going to the shelter soon for another cat.
I think that is wonderful and Angel Teddy would approve. XO
Great job helping shine the light about pet adoption, Joanie and Mom Ellen. All of our cats have been rescues, too. XO
Thank you. XO
Thanks for shining a light on pet adoption! Three of ours were strays and two from the shelter.
I am glad you rescued all your sweet kitties. XO
