Babs Needs a Home!

I try not to do this too often – I know it’s not what anyone’s following this blog for, but this poor baby’s story keeps punching me in the heart. The sensation moved up to my brain and I started thinking maybe I could do something to help.

Babs’ beloved person passed away. Instead of taking her in, surviving family absolved themselves of her and left her with animal control.  By then, her coat was so matted, she needed to be shaved. The displacement and stress of being in a shelter has been very tough on her and she’s starting to shut down. She’s lost her appetite and is spending more and more time huddled with her face hidden in the corner of her cage.  She’s also come down with a fever recently and is being treated with fluids and antibiotics. The vets think she’ll be okay, but this is no way for a sweetheart to live.

—————————–

Babs is fixed, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV negative and about 8-10 years old. She didn’t much enjoy being shaved (who would?) but never motioned to swat or bite anyone, and I’m pretty sure her whiskers set some kind of record for length.  Also, don’t tell the shelter workers I told you, but her adoption fee has already been taken care of.

She’s with Shelter Friends of St. Charles, Missouri. 314-750-7979

So…is there anyone in the Missouri-Illinois area in need of a pretty lap cat?

Can you help me spread this around a bit to give her a chance at the kind of happy home she belongs in?

Thank you!

i sent a friend cupcakes to try to cheer her up after the loss of a pet but UPS delivered to the wrong street

and her neighbors brought the box to her a day later, after it had been outside on some dude’s porch, in the blistering Midwestern June sun

and as it turns out instead of cupcakes I got my grieving bestie

a giant pink box full of ants

Age Of Ultron:Deleted Scene (Source: (x))

It’s so frustrating that with the quantity of useless garbage that made it onto the screen in AoU, Whedon decided this scene was expendable. In a few seconds, it illustrates how the influence of SHIELD/Hydra has shaped the Sokovians, and by extension, the Maximoff twins. It also plays into Steve’s growing unease with the role of Captain America and how it may conflict with his personal values, a development which culminates in his decision to drop the shield at the end of CW. Instead we get endless iterations of that stupid, out of character language joke.
