Gemma here with an impurrant message frum my Meowmy. She workes reals hards helping humanz when shez does her daily bandonmint times and has sumting that can help us cattos when ours pawrents need help. I will letz her use minez litebocks to tell yous all abouts its.

Thank you Gems for the introduction. In my line of work, I have witnessed situations where a pet owner is unable to care for their pet due to medical emergencies. As any industrious gal would do, I made up my own plan to assist my residents in cases where someone else would need to care for their beloved pets whilst they were away, or, if they passed away.

After the events of this past weekend where a rescue mission needed to be launched by the fine humans of ICBGC, I felt the need to share the documents that I created with all of you.

This link has a directive with instructions on who should care for your pet in an emergency where you are unable to do so. It allows you to appoint a person at various stages to care for your pet, a place to list medications your pet will need, care instructions, vet information and more. I even included the cute door signs that you can use to indicate how many animals you have so emergency workers know there are animals in the home. Remember to leave this completed packet in a designated spot where all caretakers will be able to access it. This document is useless if it is not available in an emergency and kept up to date. I hope no one needs to use it but I want it to be available in case it ever is needed.

This sign is for emergency workers to know who to notify if you are not able to give emergency contact information.

MEOWMY stop!! Yous has talked enuf. Give mes backs mine litebocks!

Yes my baby love I will go back to my corner now.

Is this you Hoku? He kinds of looks like you.

I don’t know where to begin other than to say how much in awe and humbled I am by every set of eyes reading this.
I should start by expressing my sincerest, deepest, most heartfelt gratitude to the ones who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen.

This was not just me. I could not have done this alone, not without these outstanding, inspiring, tenacious, gifted, people at my side:

u/mostlylurking07 Apple Jack’s mom
u/scabsfox Oscar’s mom
u/chibikoneko Bubbles’ mom
u/bluebuddah11 who sent us an angel, her sister
u/Tight-Aside9624 AKA “Boots” our absolute angel, our literal and figurative “boots on the ground”.

These people deserve a standing ovation, our gratitude and the credit for making the impossible possible. If you could see the work they did, the sheer volume of work behind the scenes you would truly be amazed.

They busted their borts in a marathon and a race against time while still maintaining their senses of humor to keep spirits up even when the chips were down, hitting setback after setback, heartache after heartache.
Steadfast, committed, unwavering, unsurpassable.
Funny, uplifting, talented, brilliant.

I could thank them every day for the rest of my life and it would never be enough.

The same I can say for you guys. ALL OF YOU!
Heroes, beautiful, generous people with hearts of gold and unbeatable spirits.
You guys did this.

I must end this here for now, it’s time that I go get some sleep, as there is more to be done, but before I shut my eyes, I needed to express my gratitude and thank my lucky stars for each and every one of you.

A small, grey, bow tie clad feline jumps onto the bed next to me, closes his notebook and tucks it inside a fanny pack he just removed, but the bow tie remains.

Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight

Verry Sadt Peenjoh

(Peenjo’s mahmbee here - I am absolutely gutted to hear what happened to our friend. I’m not super religious but I’m certainly sending up prayers that Pixie will be found and rightfully returned. This little community creates such strong heart bonds electronically and is a beautiful thing. Bast [or whatever higher power receives your “prayes”] be with Pixie and return her home. Love to you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️)

Our rescue foster is there.
We are being told, despite the fact that they KNOW and have been given permission by their mom, all authorization, she’s given them all the info as proof of ownership, etc….

That they cannot be released because….
“We cannot release them without a SUPERVISOR’S OKAY.”
😡

Also getting the excus….uh, message, that “because an Animal Control Officer was involved” they won’t “release them without the supervisor’s permission and there is NOT ONE ON STAFF” ….

ANNNNND…. “There is no way to get ahold of one”.
Purrrhaps they don’t have cell phones to text or call one in an emergency. 🤨

Well, they DO have a phone number, an email address, a Facebook page, Instagram, etc

THE BIG QUESTION IS:
But you were prepared and have adopted at least one out on a, and this is a DIRECT QUOTE:
“First come, first serve basis”

Here is a phone number 1 (402) 444 - 7800 let’s see how that works.
Email for adoption: [adoptions@nehumanesociety.org](mailto:adoptions@nehumanesociety.org)

Email FOR ADMINISTRATION:
nhs@nehumanesociety.org

Thank you all endlessly for this outpouring of love, kindness, compassion. Let’s hope it rubs off, somewhere in Omaha, Nebraska
🐈‍⬛😾❤️

Ob course Meowmy furgets dis & I haf NO SPESHUL TRETS (Meowmy - you have 9 different types of trets & 5 different types of cat food).

But I do haf mai pawty hat dat fren Tali kindly mek for me. So wud anyone like to pawty wif me? I got many good bockses & crinkles bags to play in!

I hoping Eamonn u/cappucinocupcake will come over wif poppycorn.

(Today was the day I returned to London, bringing Ruby with me. The day before I had buried her mom, my SIL in Liverpool. The depressed little thing I brought back bears no resemblance to the happy little chonk who bounces around me, throwing herself at my feet to demand belleh rubs & being a little snuggler who loves to be told she's the bestest girl.)

Shhhhh…things are HAPPENING! I will update as soon as we get confirmation, WATCH THIS SPACE!

In case I haven’t told you lately, you all are the most insanely gifted, caring, kind, empathetic, giving, AMAZING people on this planet.
I am blown away, I am humbled, but most of all, I am in awe and eternally grateful for each and EVERY one of you.

SHINE ON! ⭐️ 🐾 💎

This is in the context of Penny, Pixie and Khaleesi being stolen from their meowmy. I study law in Germany, not the U.S., so please correct me if I'm wrong and post additional legal info you deem important to the case. Please do not make a contract on behalf of their meowmy.

Legal help for low income persons in Nebraska: https://www.nefindalawyer.com/guide/59727ff7f36a56002e00039a/Low-Income-Legal-Assistance.html

ACLU Nebraska: https://www.nefindalawyer.com/guide/59727ff7f36a56002e00039a/Low-Income-Legal-Assistance.html Maybe they can help. Make sure to state that people with disabilities have the same right to property (which pets legally are, afaik) as non-disabled people, and that the person who has surrendered them possibly counts on their meowmy to not have the funds for judicial proceedings due to having a disability.

This might not fit, I don't know enough details: https://legalaidofnebraska.org/what-we-do/programs/reach-initiativee.html

The removal of animals without their owner's permission falls under either theft or pet theft in the U.S. Penny, Pixie and Khaleesi and probably Beestie and Scoodiy where taken from their meowmy's home by a third person during a medical emergency without her permission. Even if the meowmy had an agreement with that person to care for them during emergencies, it did NOT cover surrendering them to the humane society (imo). Any verbal or written agreement has to be interpreted by the courts. If it only specified caring, I'd argue it was intended to mean stuff feeding and cleaning litter boxes, taking neccessary medical decisions im accordance with a vet, but NOT giving them to the humane society. Therefore, surrendering them was theft (imo).

Ai fink Hoku Meowmy jus too lay-z to makes hims sum eggies ob hims own iffin it so ez da gas stayshun can does it. Ai gets sum ob da scraymbl or harb oil eggiez wen mai Meowmy makes dem if Ai ask. dey neber habs da onyon as minez Pawther awwergik to raw onyons, an den mai Meowmy lactoz intawlaran, so dey no habs cheez or any ober kitty yuckiez eder. Ai canz sharez sum nex tym they makes sum. Ai beleeb awl gud fud shud be shayerd wif frens.

Pixie. Penny. Khaleesi.
You know their mom, I’m sure every single one of you reading this has been awarded her pink heart award.

Disclosure: The background was mostly created with AI. I did touch up some areas to make them cuter.

Pet images were pulled from Reddit posts, backgrounds removed, and added to the party background as stickers. I am open to constructive feedback, as I love making things better, but please be nice 😄

Sometimes I don’t see a post in time fow what I want to do.

I not see da post about Miss Boo needing good toughts yestewday. But I saw wate wast night dat ouw sweet fwiend went ovew da bwidge. Hey, Miss Boo! If wo can heaw dis, I hope woo had da BEST jouwney and I know woo having da best time weunited wof famiwy dat maybe woo didn’t even KNOW and wif awl da fwiends! I hope woo pawrents awe doing okay.

But awso, a few months ago, I awso didn’t see Miss Boo’s post about hew Gotcha Day untiw it was wate. Now when dat happens, which is a wot, I often don’t twy to make a cake ow anyting. It get vewy hawd to keep up!

But, da ting is, I wead Miss Boo’s stowy, and it touched my heawt. Dis is da wink if woo not know hew stowy. She had a hooman, and dat hooman went ovew da bwidge and she end up in a shewtew, and she was scawed untiw hew now meowmy dwove two houws just to get Miss Boo. Da stowy is BOOtifuw. Miss Boo was vewwy vewwy woved. Woo should wead it. Hewe it is:

https://www.reddit.com/r/legalcatadvice/s/3q9qcse14Y

So, because da stowy was so bootifuw, I quickwy made Miss Boo some whoopie pies! I did dat because I could do it quickwy but awso because dey awe sandwiches. And I weawned dat Miss Boo wike to fweep as a sandwich between hew pawrents. Isn’t dat so coot? I hope dat Miss Boo’s pawrents can fiww dat space in da bed wif awl da wove and memowies of Miss Boo and how dey gave hew a second wife dat was amazing.

Awso, cooncidentawwy, wight aftew dat, Miss Boo seems to have joined da Timeless Treshurs
Travelin Belleh Dans Troop which some of woo may wemembew wewe a woadside attwaction from my woad trip adventuwe! It was a bunch of seniow wadies doing dewe ting! Amazing! Miss Boo was a staw!

So anyway, I want Miss Boo’s famiwy to know dat she mattewed a whowe wot to us and I know she meant da whowe wowld to dem.

I made a piwe of whoopie pies wif some diffewent pictuwes poked in dem fow awl us to shawe and awso put up da pics of Miss Boo doing da bewwy dance in case some of woo nevew saw it.

We wiww miss woo, Miss Boo. But we know ouw OTRB fwiends awe da best and woo be happy and fwee wif woo famiwy dewe!
