3 The Freedom to Choose Letter from Lori Dear Friends, My life has been filled with many rescue pets over the years and I have loved them all. Yet every once in a long while a special one comes into my life, and we form a bond that surpasses all others. Such was the case with Strippey Cat, whom I recently lost. This loss has been devastating, but I don t have to tell you, our readers, about loss. If you are reading this, chances are you have shared my experience with loving and losing a pet many times over. My relationship with Strippey started very differently than with my other animals. He was my first Working Cat, brought to our farm in Spencer County as a rodent manager to live in our horse barn. I had made animal welfare my career and always had cats who were kept safely indoors and out of harm s way; yet here I was, staring at Strippey and his two litter mates and realizing that as feral, three-month-old kittens, my barn was their only hope for survival. What developed was a love affair like no other. We hung out in the spring sunshine together that first year. We chased butterflies and rolled in the grass, played with twine from hay bales until we were exhausted. And I became his hero the day I climbed a tree and got him down when he was stuck. I will never forget how he hugged me tight with his little paws as if to thank me for saving him from life in a tree. From that day forward, he hugged me every day. He loved me with an obsession that bordered on the ridiculous. He came when I called, quicker and more reliably than my dogs. His favorite spot was on my lap where he would drool and purr as I petted him. As a free-roaming outdoor cat, Strippey could have gone anywhere, done anything, chose anyone. But he chose me. As Strippey and I celebrated his 10th birthday last spring, I started wondering, What happens as outdoor cats age? Should I be restricting his freedom for his own good? Is he still nimble enough and fast enough to avoid coyotes? Is he still strong enough to fight off stray cats that challenge his turf? In the end, nothing traumatic happened to Strippey. He wasn t hit by a car, tortured by a cruel human, nor did he meet any other type of violent end. He succumbed to what many other pets do. Cancer. He didn t just disappear one day never to be seen again. In the end, he was sitting in his favorite spot on my lap as I helped him cross the rainbow bridge. Just like my indoor cats before him. Strippey taught me one of the biggest lessons in my animal welfare career. Having an outdoor cat doesn t mean you love them any less. In fact, depending on your lifestyle, it may mean sharing a life full of enrichment and adventure beyond anything experienced with an indoor cat. I no longer make assumptions about quality of life for a pet based on my own assumptions. Strippey ruled my world for over 10 years. He wandered into my house one day and Strippey claimed that territory as his own just like he did my yard and my barn. He demanded when to be fed, did not tolerate closed doors, and he kept my other dogs and cats in line. When I think of Strippey, I think of a favorite adage, If you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it s yours. If it doesn t, it never was. Strippey had the freedom to choose. And he chose me. While writing this has been cathartic for me, it is also a call to action for cat lovers. If you haven t considered an outdoor cat and you live in an area that would support one, please consider giving it a try. Your heart may get broken. That s reality. But you also might just find the love of your (cat) life. To learn about the Kentucky Humane Society s Working Cat Program please contact cats@kyhumane.org.

4 Rescue From Trash to Treasure Puppies Saved from Freezing by Local Hero It was an early morning in February with 9-degree wind chill. Gregory Curry was making his rounds as a driver for Rumpke Waste & Recycling. On National Turnpike in South Louisville, he noticed something unusual. A lightblue plastic bin was flipped on its side. The bin was without a lid, but someone had pushed it up against the side of the dumpster. Inside the bin, Gregory saw something fuzzy. His first thought was that the bin was full of stuffed toys. And then he heard a whimper. What he saw next shocked him to the core: inside the bin were four puppies. Two were shivering and crying. Two more, sadly, were dead. The top of the bin was up against the dumpster, so there was no way the puppies could have escaped. There was no food, no water. They had been left there to freeze to death, he said. Who would do something like that? The puppies were soaking wet from urine, very cold and hungry. Gregory had worked as an emergency medical technician in the past, and he knew these two puppies would have been dead within the hour without his help. Gregory placed the two puppies in the cab of his truck. He drove to a 24-hour gas station on his route and asked the clerk for a box to place the puppies in. A patron at the gas station donated his jacket to keep them warm. I knew they had to be warmed up slowly after being so cold, said Gregory. The puppies were also dehydrated, so he offered them a little water. Given his medical training, he knew not to give them food right away. With Gregory s care, the puppies began to revive. But what to do with two needy puppies? Gregory knew he couldn t keep them. Around 5 a.m., he drove over to the Kentucky Humane Society s Main Campus, but the campus was closed. He noted the hours and went back to his route. The puppies remained in his cab. When our Admissions Department opened a few hours later, Gregory returned with the puppies. Our team rushed them back to Veterinary Services to be examined. When Gregory brought them in, the puppies were absolutely filthy, said Robin Vincent, KHS Shelter Operations Director. They were covered in urine and were very, very cold, but they were in pretty good health besides that. We gave them baths, gave them their medical checkups, dewormed them, and gave them their first vaccinations. After the puppies were warm and comfortable, the KHS team alerted the authorities so they could investigate this heartless act. Louisville Metro Animal Services found the plastic bin with the deceased puppies. They checked with local businesses; unfortunately, there 2

5 Dante s Heart Puppies with their rescuer were no video cameras or witnesses, so the officers had little information to go on. Local media also asked witnesses to come forward with information, but no one did. Gregory Curry is a true hero for animals, said Robin. He s also a great reminder that we can all make a difference for companion animals, whether that is saving them like Gregory did, or adopting, sponsoring an animal, donating or volunteering all of us can do something to help. KHS staff named the little brown puppy Gregory in honor of the man who saved them. The little black puppy was named Samson. After a week in care, the puppies were ready for adoption. Given the tremendous interest in the puppies, KHS decided to hold a lottery for their adoption; families interested in adopting submitted applications. Two families were then randomly selected from the qualified adopters. Gregory was adopted by Jason and Michelle Kennedy; he lives with two other dogs and the Kennedys 15-year-old son. Samson was adopted by Alex and Megan Carbello of Louisville. We were so amazed by the number of people who came forward wanting to adopt. But we reminded them that every day, the Kentucky Humane Society has wonderful dogs, cats, puppies and kittens looking for loving homes. Each of the animals in our care has his or her own story, and each deserves a happy ending, said Robin. U DONATE to help more animals like Gregory and Samson: kyhumane.org/donate 1000 Lyndon Lane, Louisville, KY It s called Pulmonary Stenosis, a heart condition that will lead to congestive heart failure without intervention. And five-month-old Dante had it. Dante was a happy pup. He didn t know he was sick or why people looked at him with such sad eyes. He didn t know why he shouldn t run and play with all the other dogs. But Dante s time was running out. The veterinarians gave him one, maybe two years to live. Unless he received lifesaving surgery that costs $3,000 to perform. Realizing that we couldn t do it alone, we brought Dante s story to the public. We wanted him to have a chance at a happy, healthy life, and we knew we needed help to make that happen. We shared his story, and we waited. The response to Dante s plight was amazing. Donors gave what they could. Some gave $5 or $10. Others were able to be far more generous. After a few weeks, we had the funds we needed! Dante went to Purdue University s Veterinarian College to have the surgery done. He came through the surgery and is already joyfully bouncing and playing with his foster family. His prognosis is good, and he will soon be ready to take on his next challenge: being someone s forever dog. U Dante with one of our photo volunteers, Payton Dante came through surgery and is happily recuperating. 3 3

6 Spring, and a Cat s Fancy Turns to... Kitten Season, a Time to Learn About Spay/Neuter Spring is in the air! Along with the warmer weather comes what many animal welfare organizations refer to as kitten season. Kitten season begins in early spring and ends in fall, and it is when the greatest number of kittens are born. This occurs because the feline reproductive system is influenced directly by warmer weather and by the the amount of daylight in a 24-hour period. As the amount of sunlight increases, so does an intact female s desire to mate, and many go into heat by mid-january. While this is an exciting time for the shelter, it is also the busiest time of the year. Often times, the Kentucky Humane Society becomes flooded with litters of young kittens needing care from the beginning of spring into the beginning of fall. While kittens are adorable and fun, the large number of kittens turned in can overwhelm the shelter and leave us very short on supplies and foster caregivers. In addition, many of the kittens who arrive need time in foster homes to grow and socialize before they are ready to find their forever homes. Love kittens and want to help? Along with supplies, the Kentucky Humane Society is always in need of foster caregivers! Foster caregivers provide loving, temporary homes for animals who need a little extra TLC before going up for adoption. Some may foster one litter a year, while others foster dozens throughout the year. These amazing individuals help KHS expand our shelter walls, allowing us to save even more lives, and we are so grateful to all of them. If you are interested in being a foster caregiver, visit kyhumane.org to learn more or contact our foster coordinator at foster@kyhumane.org. U Kitten Shower To get ready for all the little arrivals kitten season brings, the Kentucky Humane Society held a Kitten Shower in mid-march. Dozens of kitten supporters came, bringing much-needed presents such as KMR (kitten milk replacer), bottles, heating pads, soft food, litter, blankets and toys. Shower attendees learned about fostering opportunities, kitten care and the importance of spaying and neutering pets. There were also games, refreshments, items for sale and a raffle. The supplies collected will be used by foster caregivers to provide care along with loving temporary homes. Over 1,000 of the animals KHS takes in every year require a little time in a foster home before they re ready for their forever home. During kitten season, we need more foster caregivers than ever! While some kittens arrive needing only a few weeks in a foster home to grow and socialize, others are younger and need round-the-clock care. Help Kittens Want to help? We continue to welcome supplies for our kittens and other animals. View our Wish List at kyhumane.org/wishlist to see what is needed. U 4

7 Interactive Play The Key to a Healthy and Happy Cat Pet Help Line By Shelby Schulz, Pet Help Line Coordinator We all know that playing with our pets is enjoyable and a great way to bond. But play is also helpful when working on unwanted cat behaviors. Some behavior issues are directly caused by a lack of interactive play! Interactive play refers to playing with your cat with appropriate toys and methods. It means playing with your cat by imitating the prey he would hunt in the wild. In the wild, cats follow a simple cycle throughout their day: hunt, eat, groom, sleep. This cycle requires bursts of energy to catch small prey. The cycle is completed several times in order for the cat to get enough to eat. Domestic cats have not lost this instinct, and providing them opportunities to hunt is important for a cat s happiness and health. So, how do you imitate this hunting ritual? Use toys that allow you to imitate prey without getting your hands in the way. You want to make sure that you are not sending a message to your cat, that hands (or feet) are prey as well. Never play with your cat with your hands or feet, even covered by a blanket. The best types of toys for this are fish pole cat toys. Choose toys that are appealing to your cat, not the human eye. Identify the type of prey your cat likes to hunt. Does she like to chase something that darts around like a mouse? Something that hops and skitters like a bug? Swoops up into the air like a bird? Find what your cat likes and provide toys that allow you to imitate that prey s movement. How will your cat hunt during an interactive play session? First, they will listen for their prey. Make a rustling sound in a paper bag or cardboard box. Use toys with realistic sounds. Don t wave a toy in your cat s face or whip it around too fast. This can frustrate your cat and does not imitate prey. Have your prey slowly come out of a hiding spot in a bag or box, from beyond the couch or a chair. Alternate fast and slow movements, having the prey dart behind things and then come out. Once you have your cat engaged, continue to imitate the movement of prey, but let him catch and kill his prey often throughout the session. You want your cat to feel like a successful hunter. When you are ready to end the play session, have the toy move slower and slower, until it dies. When your cat walks away, put up the toy. This will end the session with your cat feeling proud of his hunting prowess. End this session with a portion of your cat s food to continue the natural hunt, eat, groom, sleep cycle. Active cats need these play/eating sessions three times a day for 15 minutes. Less active cats are fine with two sessions a day. Daily interactive play will keep your cat healthy, help relieve stress during times of change and give your cat an outlet for his energy. If you have a cat who likes to scratch and bite feet as they cross his path, or chase hands as they move, interactive play is the answer. Interactive play can also be helpful for cats avoiding the litter box, integrating a new pet in the home, helping your timid cat get used to new people and many other situations. The physical exercise from interactive play helps reduce stress, and the time spent together helps you form and maintain a strong bond with your cat. For more information on interactive play and its benefits, or for additional help with your cat s behavior issues, contact our free Pet Help Line, or helpline@kyhumane.org.

8 KHS Opens Adoption Center at Pewee Valley Feeders Supply The Kentucky Humane Society celebrated the opening of our newest adoption center on March 3 at the brand-new Pewee Valley Feeders Supply, La Grange Road in Louisville. The adoption center has three large-dog kennels, two puppy pens, and condos for kittens and cats. This is the eighth KHS adoption center located in a Feeders Supply store and our 10th adoption center overall. The unique lifesaving partnership between KHS and Feeders Supply started in 1996, when the late Roy Gibson, founder of Feeders Supply, offered a permanent adoption site to KHS at the Springhurst store. For the last 20 years, the locally owned, family-run, pet-supply business has provided free adoption space to KHS. The value of the floor space is approximately $100,000 a year, making Feeders Supply one of KHS most generous ongoing supporters. All adoption counselors at the sites are KHS employees, and pets are available there for adoption 361 days a year. It s a relationship that allows KHS to take in more pets and to save more lives. In 2015, the no-kill animal shelter found homes for over 6,300 pets. U My father was very concerned about pet overpopulation, and he wanted to do something about it, said Pam Longwell, President & CEO of Feeders Supply. We were never interested in buying and selling dogs and cats, and we have always supported the adoption option. This decision helped create a model for other pet stores and shelters to follow. Twenty years ago, Feeders Supply became the first pet supply company in the region and one of the first in the nation to allow an animal shelter to have a permanent adoption center on their premises, said Lori Redmon, KHS President & CEO. Today, over 50 percent of all of the animals adopted from KHS are adopted at a Feeders Supply location. Little Orphan Abner Finds A Family You can t tell by looking at him now, but Abner, a beautiful Thoroughbred, had a rough start in life. His mother had severe birthing complications and the owners needed immediate assistance to save the baby. The very next day, our KHS Equine crew arrived to rescue Abner and transfer him to one of our rescue partners, Dark Horse Training Center. Several challenges were still ahead for baby Abner, as he needed an immediate plasma transfusion and was faced with other medical issues requiring constant monitoring. In addition to giving milk replacer feedings four times daily, our KHS volunteers gave Abner the care and attention desperately needed when a baby is orphaned at such a young age. He started adjusting to life on a farm by interacting with people, other pets (several KHS adopted cats and dogs are on site), and learning life lessons from the other horses. Acclimating the horse to a farm is a critical step in KHS s Equine C.A.R.E. (connect, assist, rescue and educate) program and gives the horses a great shot at adoption. Luckily for Abner, he didn t have to wait long to find a home. KHS President & CEO Lori Redmon and Feeders Supply President & CEO Pam Longwell cut a ribbon to open the Pewee Valley Feeders Supply adoption center. Brett and Mary Rose Cissell from Dark Horse decided to adopt Abner as a wedding present to themselves! Fast forward to now and Abner couldn t be happier. He s well adjusted and enjoying life at Dark Horse Training Center. The farm sits on over 100 rolling acres in central Kentucky and is assisting KHS Equine in fostering and finding homes for other rescued horses. You can help, too, by spreading the word about our new equine services and, in doing so, helping find homes for so many horses in need of permanent families. U 6 6 Abner with Mary Rose and friends

15 Volunteer DeTails Fostering Confidence Love animals and want to give back? Become a foster caregiver! Every year, the Kentucky Humane Society takes in over a 1,000 pets who need a little time in a home before they can be adopted. Typically these pets need a temporary home because they are either too young to be spayed/neutered and adopted, or they are recovering from illness, injury or surgery. Other animals may be wallflowers who are shy and need time in a foster home to relax. Many of our foster caregivers work full time and already have pets on their own. Interested in learning more? Visit our website, kyhumane.org or foster@kyhumane.org. by Megan Decker, PR/Marketing Assistant Tori Miller has loved animals since she was a young girl and has always aspired to save as many as she can. After moving to Kentucky when she was nine years old, her mother developed severe allergies, and Tori was no longer able to have pets. As soon as Tori grew up, found her own place and became financially stable, she began preparing for a new addition. The first place she started looking? The Kentucky Humane Society. Tori adopted her first dog, Maya, from KHS in 2015 and quickly adopted her second, Luke, three months later. During Luke s adoption, Tori learned about our foster program and immediately sent in her Foster application. Tori says she wanted to join the foster program because, after learning more about KHS, she fell in love with the organization and wanted to help as much as she could. There are no words for how excited I was to start fostering. I always want to help as much as I can, and fostering gives me the chance to make a difference in these animals lives. Since she began fostering, Tori has provided a temporary home for more than 30 needy dogs and puppies. Tori says while she loves fostering puppies, her favorite animals are the Wallflower fosters. Wallflowers are very shy animals who often hide from new people and are easily spooked by sounds and objects. Wallflower foster caregivers focus on building trust and confidence in these shy, fearful dogs and help them become welladjusted companions. They are often big dogs, but they are scared of even the tiniest thing. Seeing them get braver and learn how to interact with people is truly amazing. These dogs don t understand how human interaction works, and seeing them finally accept and love me is the best feeling. When Tori isn t dedicating her time to KHS animals, she works as a leasing agent and enjoys bowling and going out with her friends. Tori has three dogs and a cat, all of whom she adopted through KHS. The latest adoption was one of her recent Wallflower dogs, Melody. Honestly, the thing I like most is fostering. I love hanging out with the Tori with Melody animals and playing with them. I love taking my dogs out to get ice cream or Starbucks Pup Cups. They are my hobby and what I do when I m not working. I have an obsession, but I am 100 percent okay with it!
