Hurricane Matthew

I am so thankful that Hurricane Matthew has stayed far enough off the east coast to spare us any damage at the sanctuary.

 

I appreciate all of the dedicated staff and volunteers who made sure our cats would be safe, even if it had been much worse.

 

I’m happy that Jamie is on the other side of the world, far away from all this stress.

 

I’ve been delighted to listen to Gabrielle Bernstein’s new book, The Universe Has Got Your Back and to be reminded of all of the power of The Secret.

 

Later I got this email :

 

Hi all, Watching Matthew on cat cams - looks like it may pass you by, for the most part?  I am working on Colorado rescue moves. Do you guys want the tiger that mauled Joe Exotic?  Female orange tiger, 8 years old, now named Chainsaw?  Understand if no, just want to know if I should move her elsewhere.  Thanks!  

 

To which I responded:

 

I have forwarded to Jamie, as we usually take the eldest of cats.  8 is probably going to be OK w/ her, but she's still in S. Africa, so I'd like to hear from her before committing.

 

I still haven't seen a list from you guys of cats and ages yet.

 

We can probably make room for four big cats.  We had tons of room for smaller cats (about 20 cages that were over 1200 sf each) but they aren't suitable for tigers because of the door, tunnel and feeding lockout heights.

 

The storm was a non event for us, THANKFULLY.

 

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.
