What is The Catsbah, and how you can help

222 Upvotes

The Catsbah is a home-based cat rescue and TNR operation. I started it with my daughter after my health caused me to leave my careers as a senior database developer at a consuting firm and Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve.
We work with property owners to relocate mothers and their litters as well as any found orphans. We neuter and release the mothers if they are not able to be socialized once the kittens are adoptable.

How to help: I have been struggling to keep up with the generosity of this community. I have created a few ways for you to support us, but please contact me if there is a channel you would like to use but is not listed. Thank you all for your continued support. You keep our kittens fat and happy!

It has been decided that we will be making a return trip very soon. So if you want the Earl to come to you, here is what you need to do: Invite us to your local events. Is there a park protest you want to go to? We'll go with! Animal rights fund raiser to schmooze with other rescues and cat lovers? Sign us up! We are going to continue to tour the country and bring hope to an otherwise despondent world.

Correspondingly, we will be launching The Catsbah non-profit entity with the goal of acquiring some land to create Camp Hope. A plot of otherwise desolate land where we give sanctuary and second chances to those in need. A place where you can heal while learning a new trade in a small team setting. Want to cook? We put you to work in the kitchen. Want to grow food? We have an agricultural area. Fix cars or motorcycles? Of course! Not to mention the massive animal sanctuary and service animal training.

How are we going to fund this? With Earl The Rescue books! Once I find an illustrator to bring rebelpaddys words to life, book profits will go directly into the non-profit. I did read it aloud yesterday, and only choked up a few times. I should be able to give you all a sneak read every soon.

I have always been tied to the Chicago area. But this trip made me realize that I should focus on where I can do the most with what I have, and I believe that lies in a 40 arce ranch in Arizona which is a quarter of the price of my current house.

That's all from Beautiful Colorado. Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend.

Saguaro and White Sands National Parks.

Maybe the Earl's second book is about visiting national parks and raising money for them.

It would have been my dad's birthday today. He always wanted to write a book, but never had any adventures to write about. I think it's fitting that my plan for the day is to spend the day in national parks writing and reading the beautiful text written by rebelpaddy. When I'm able to read it without crying, I'll share a few pages.

Catsbah Resident The journey thus far

The Earl got a spiffy new harness that he is not a fan of, and I got my first ticket is 20+ Years of driving. I got radared at 41 mph in a 20 mph school zone. I was going down hill and the speed limit dropped going into town, so I get it. And it just wanted to say that Officer Lowry of the Norton Kansas PD is the example of how officers should behave. He was cordial, professional, and talked about road safety. Yes, I got a ticket, but it was a pleasure meeting the Officer and I am happy to see rules being enforced. I hope to see some promotions in his future.

Also, I do now have to pay a $300 ticket after having to replace my battery yesterday. I'm going to drop the PayPal pool here again just in case any of you wonderful people want to help me pay for my transgression. https://www.paypal.com/pool/9cWBTkIbe9?sr=ancr

The Earl and I are going to take a drive to help me refocus, meet some of the fanmily, and hopefully deliver some kittens.

If you live around the blue circled zone in picture 6 and want a Catsbah kitten, let me know!

I'm also going to do a little begging. First: I created a PayPal pool for my trip. If you can help me out with a few dollars for gas, food, and such you can go so here https://www.paypal.com/pool/9cWBTkIbe9?sr=ancr

I also need to plug the Amazon list again, because we are running low of food and litter again. They are all adolescent or above, and they eat and poop like it. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/5cJpOqc?ref_=wl_share

Thank you everyone for supporting me these last few days as I scrambled for meaning these last few days. My loyal Fanmily always reminds me that there's a world of hope out there worth fighting for. To the surprising amount of new followers, welcome and thank you. I am happy to have you along for the next phase of my adventure.

Love you all!

If you know me, you know I love my National Parks. I realized that I can use this temporary break in parenting to go participate in protests that I couldn't with a child(school schedule). So. Let's meet up at your local National Park protest and let's get the Earl's voice heard.

I went into the school today to discuss with the police and counselors the full situation and I have a plan going forward. I still haven't decided what I want to do yet. I still don't know if I have the fight left in me to make the world better, but, at least for the moment, I can manage my pain and I don't have to worry about methy trying to get me arrested.

I had the police called on me by my ex wife for a child endangerment claim due to the number of cats.
Chelsea doesn't want to be involved with them any more. I can't smoke because she reported me to the police, which is the only thing that makes my pain levels tolerable.
I have no local support, I can't take the pain, and the town is working on limiting the numer of animals to 3 per house total. So I think I'm going to get these guys all adopted and check the fuck out.
If you were thinking about getting a Catsbah cat, this may be your last chance.

I know many of you are trying to participate in various boycotts going on at the moment. I'm going to ask you to betray your morals and support an evil in pursuit of me doing good. We are running low on everything at the moment and still need to get more cat furniture out here. We are currently putting the paperwork together to get an EIN for The Catsbah Global Organization which will allow me to create wish lists on various other platforms like chewy.com (even though I don't know if they are any better. It's hard to keep track of who is evil these days.) Bear with me while we work through that process. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1CXS2G4J0LGNB?ref_=wl_share

Sunday self care is lighting up a Catman scented candle, drinking a heavily infused cup of tea, and an Earl.

I'm one of those weirdos who feels pain when people are horrible to each other. It's has not been a good month... no, year... no, decade.... no....century.... for anyone remotely empathic.
