Reise Cougar’s Name Means Journey
We are expecting a new arrival this Sunday.  Her name is Reise and she is a cougar from Texas who ended up at the Southern Florida Wildlife Rehabilitation Center where JoJo came from.  As most of you know, the owner is terminal and in the hospital, so his volunteers have been trying to place all of the animals.  Reise had been declawed in TX, but they had just butchered her paws, so the nails keep growing back.  There was a vet who helped SFWRC’s owner, Dirk, by donating his services to try and repair the paws.  I’m not sure, but it sounds like this has been done several times, so I don’t know why it hasn’t been permanent.
 
When this vet, Dr. Patrick Mornane, heard that Reise needed a new home he offered to take her but he lives in N.C., and I’m told his health is bad.  Originally we had been told that all of the cats had new homes, and that all of the other animals, even the chickens and koi had been placed, but the deal to send Reise to Dr. Mornane fell through.  That left Reise as the last animal to need a home, but no one wanted to deal with her medical issues.  We agreed to take Reise and have been trying for weeks to arrange a time that we, the FWC and the volunteer from SFWRC can all be there.  Currently the plan is to bring her in Sunday.
 
 
Jamie whacked herself in the face with a pair of fence rippers and knocked herself off a ladder.
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
