"Pet Tales: Friday Edition"
Another week has passed us by and medical needs at Sammie's Friends seemingly never cease. This week's edition is about a lovely kitty named Rocket.
Rocket was brought to us by a very nice "Good Samaritan" after he found the cat on his porch with actual icicles hanging off the cat's face. After trying to warm up the feline the finder noticed that Rocket's feet were black with what was thought to be frostbite. The kitty was brought to the shelter and we immediately took him to the vet.
The vet removed a very tight collar that had a rope attached to it and treated Rocket for his high fever. The following day the cat was evaluated, the vet determining that Rocket's feet were likely burned, as if he'd been dragged, all of his toes had been traumatically amputated. In addition to the care of his injured feet this poor kitty required debridement of dead tissue, sutures on his legs and care to trauma in the scrotal area.
Rockets recovery will be lengthy and he will likely have a "wobbly walk" for his lifetime which should be long as he seems to be only about three years old.
Even with all he's been through Rocket is an adoring cat, just the sweetest boy who loves to be cuddled, snuggled and is a great lap cat.

𝐂𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓: 𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄! We shared this info initially on 1/10/24 but as alike cases continue to populate here and in neighboring jurisdictions, we are sharing this info again. PLEASE SHARE. Original warning:

“Buyer Beware” is a common cliché in the world of used car sales – but today we want to share “Seller Beware!” to warn the public of a scam we are seeing that is targeting sellers in private party car sales. At least three sellers have contacted us in the past few months, after realizing they may have been duped. And it turns out, they aren’t the only ones. Our research has revealed similar scams elsewhere (http://tinyurl.com/3d262c9p)

The basics of the ruse are that a potential buyer contacts a seller (we’ve seen both Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace used) and arranges to meet the seller to inspect and test drive the vehicle for sale. The “Buyer” arrives with at least one other person, sometimes two, and proceeds to examine the vehicle and request to test drive. At some point, either during the test drive or inspection, the seller is distracted away from the vehicle while one of the persons in the buyer’s group is looking under the hood. The buyer then tells the seller that they have detected a mechanical problem with the vehicle and shows the seller, who is often shocked by the discovery. The buyer subsequently offers a much lower purchase price to buy the vehicle as-is. The seller then accepts a much lower cash purchase price, and the buyer leaves with the “mechanically troubled” vehicle, which was not evident prior to the sale. After the transaction, the seller begins to question the sudden mechanical problem and realizes that someone in the buyer’s group had the opportunity to tamper with the vehicle, tricking the seller into accepting significantly less than the asking price.
If you are selling a private vehicle, we recommend the following tips to protect yourself and your property.

1. Meet potential buyers in a public area, such as a grocery store parking lot.
2. Don’t go alone; have a friend or family member with you during the meeting.
3. Do not leave the potential buyer alone with your vehicle (this includes the test drive)
4. If a mechanical issue is suspected, do not succumb to the pressure to drastically reduce the price until you have the vehicle inspected by a trusted mechanic. Pause the transaction until the defect can be confirmed, corrected, and/or accepted by both parties.
5. Be wary of significant “low ball” offers.
6. Complete all required DMV paperwork at the time of the transaction.
As always, if you have a safety concern or believe you have been the victim of a crime in unincorporated Nevada County, please call our Sheriff’s Office at 530-265-1471 (business line) or 911 in an emergency.
