They were all sick and she didn't have anywhere to go with them as she currently has many of her own cats, fosters and ferals she already takes care of.

Our sweet, beautiful girl, Miracle, has been adopted, and it was our 1,000th adoption!<br /><br />Our sweet Miracle came to us months ago and has been in loving foster care homes since. She is a loving soul, despite having a rough start to life. She was found malnourished, and her tail was improperly docked. A wonderful person took her in, brought her to a vet for repair on her tail, and gave her a second chance at life. Miracle truly IS a miracle, and we are blessed that her foster home took such wonderful care of her and that a loving new forever family found her and brought her into their lives!<br /><br />Here are snapshots from our beautiful, magical 1,000th adoption!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFA2Uv47I/AAAAAAAAA7A/DaxV05e9dDA/s1600/1000th%2Badoption%2Bb1.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFA2Uv47I/AAAAAAAAA7A/DaxV05e9dDA/s320/1000th%2Badoption%2Bb1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888321525834674" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBSMQEXI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/JRwbE4WrH1A/s1600/miracle%2Badoption%2Bb2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBSMQEXI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/JRwbE4WrH1A/s320/miracle%2Badoption%2Bb2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888329006387570" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBB86eoI/AAAAAAAAA7I/4Ozw7Y9ddRQ/s1600/miracle%2Badoption2%2Bb3.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBB86eoI/AAAAAAAAA7I/4Ozw7Y9ddRQ/s320/miracle%2Badoption2%2Bb3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888324647090818" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBYBVSXI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Whs6Q7UzWwY/s1600/miracle%2Badoption4%2Bb4.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBYBVSXI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/Whs6Q7UzWwY/s320/miracle%2Badoption4%2Bb4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888330571204978" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBnSt0oI/AAAAAAAAA7g/NxIvZxkzIvo/s1600/miracle%2Badoption6%2Bb5.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFBnSt0oI/AAAAAAAAA7g/NxIvZxkzIvo/s320/miracle%2Badoption6%2Bb5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888334670647938" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFTQFGz8I/AAAAAAAAA7o/sqMcGkuwyPQ/s1600/miracle%2Badoption8%2Bb6.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFTQFGz8I/AAAAAAAAA7o/sqMcGkuwyPQ/s320/miracle%2Badoption8%2Bb6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888637677195202" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFTkrtV6I/AAAAAAAAA7w/b3wHc8fGVIQ/s1600/miracle%2Badoption12%2Bb7.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/TQxFTkrtV6I/AAAAAAAAA7w/b3wHc8fGVIQ/s320/miracle%2Badoption12%2Bb7.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551888643207813026" /></a>Emily Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17366184741606391574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332893527082649662.post-27599291032954635652010-12-12T15:09:00.002-06:002010-12-12T15:18:34.302-06:00Kitty Perry: Proof that semi-feral kittens can be tamed!Kitty Perry came to OARS as a wild little semi-feral kitten...she ran from us, hid and could barely be touched.

We are thrilled to say that three adult kitties went to their forever home, and another adult kitty was adopted, and possibly two of our dogs, because of this event! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wn2Q1OI/AAAAAAAAAmk/7gZfCheTu6I/s1600/brat+fry.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wn2Q1OI/AAAAAAAAAmk/7gZfCheTu6I/s320/brat+fry.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478488493905122" /></a><br /><br />Everyone enjoyed the brats, burgers and Boca veggie burgers (my personal favorite). Thanks to Nicole and Tim B, Nate and Sarah, Natalie, Russ, Louise and hubby all for running the show; Corey, Denise, Mallory and Jodi for running the adoption Center, and Linda and friend, Sharon W and Amy for cleaning, planting, taking up a fence, weeding and other chores; and everyone else who made this event successful! We couldn't do it without you!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wUqmdOI/AAAAAAAAAmU/CKalYT_Hihk/s1600/booker+sarah.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wUqmdOI/AAAAAAAAAmU/CKalYT_Hihk/s320/booker+sarah.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478483344717026" /></a><br />Sarah with Booker T, the star of the day!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2546olBI/AAAAAAAAAnM/qlqY_im_tyA/s1600/mal+booker.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2546olBI/AAAAAAAAAnM/qlqY_im_tyA/s320/mal+booker.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478647694464018" /></a><br />Booker loves all the ladies - here he is flirting with Mallory<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wdhwJpI/AAAAAAAAAmc/4VHdT7VLHkM/s1600/booker+the+lap+dog.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2wdhwJpI/AAAAAAAAAmc/4VHdT7VLHkM/s320/booker+the+lap+dog.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478485723522706" /></a><br />Booker thinks he's a lap dog :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P25mOhn9I/AAAAAAAAAnE/lBCkSRoS6uM/s1600/grillin.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P25mOhn9I/AAAAAAAAAnE/lBCkSRoS6uM/s320/grillin.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478642677620690" /></a><br />The boys grillin'<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P25UGYsdI/AAAAAAAAAm8/lFpH8QotccA/s1600/brat+fry3.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P25UGYsdI/AAAAAAAAAm8/lFpH8QotccA/s320/brat+fry3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478637811642834" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2w2vCLTI/AAAAAAAAAms/oJfDH6MuQKw/s1600/brat+fry2.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P2w2vCLTI/AAAAAAAAAms/oJfDH6MuQKw/s320/brat+fry2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459478492490116402" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P3aEdYGNI/AAAAAAAAAnU/tHSNexqviLw/s1600/brat+fry+4.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-qhJmISwqVE/S8P3aEdYGNI/AAAAAAAAAnU/tHSNexqviLw/s320/brat+fry+4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459479200548788434" /></a>Emily Andersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17366184741606391574noreply@blogger.com1
