🐾✈️ UPDATE: Okay, NOW we know the whole story! 😂
Remember these six cats who showed up at FieldHaven after what sounded like the most mysterious game of telephone?
Well… we have MORE INFORMATION! And it turns out this wasn’t nearly as random as we originally thought. There were just… a LOT of cooks in the kitchen. 😂
So, in the interest of making sure we tell the story RIGHT, here’s the updated version:
A local animal advocate in Northern California heard about a man in Redding who needed help with these six cats. She tapped into her network and connected with our team at FieldHaven to see if we could help.
We said YES. ❤️
As luck would have it, a pilot with Pilots N Paws was already heading to Auburn. Once FieldHaven confirmed we could take the cats, transportation was coordinated.
The cats hopped aboard the Pilots N Paws flight, landed safely in Auburn, and then another wonderful volunteer stepped in to drive them from the airport to FieldHaven.
Talk about ALL HANDS ON DECK! 🙌🐾
So while our first version of the story may have gotten a little… telephone-game-ish 😂… the important part was always right:
Six cats needed help. A whole network of animal lovers came together. And they made sure those cats got to safety.
And THAT is the story we love. ❤️
Most importantly: Alpha, Bravo, Lima, Sierra, Tango and Helicopter are SAFE. They are settling in beautifully and doing AMAZING. ❤️
In fact, just look at Alpha! 👀😍
He is already showing us just how much personality is underneath that initial nervousness!
Some of the boys are already available for adoption, and the others will be ready soon as they complete their care and continue settling in. 🐾
To everyone who helped make this journey happen—from the advocate who made the connection, to the FieldHaven team, to Pilots N Paws, to the pilot, to the volunteer who drove them to us—THANK YOU. ❤️
This is what collaboration, networking and grassroots animal welfare look like.
And these six cats are the very lucky recipients. 🥰🐾
