๐ โค๏ธ Greetings from METRO! He is a big boy now.๐ ๐
Do you remember his rescue in 2022?
Here goes-
๐METRO-was adopted by the Kind Lady who Discovered him stuck on the
Metro North Tracks.๐
๐ปLittle METRO had a Harrowing Tale to Tell.๐ป
John Debacker was called to rescue him in Nov 2022 after this dear lady heard desperate cat cries from a track below. John netted the tiny, terrified orange tabby.
More from John:
"After being heard screaming down on the metro-north train tracks since yesterday, we flagged down nearby cops that were able to get the power shut-off and escorted us onto the tracks to save the terrified kitten.
Thank you to Kristine Malone for making the call to us."
METRO went to Last Hope with an approved application from Kristine Malone until he was old enough to be neutered.
On his adoption day, he met his new Mom & rescuer for the first time-face to face. She & her daughter were at Last Hope to pick him up & bring METRO to his Forever Home.

๐ ๐ฉ Listen to MILLIE speaking to her Mom Sarah (Last Hope volunteer) in this video..
Yes, MILLIE is communicating her concerns. Sarah is the only person MILLIE speaks to.
But a young lady like MILLIE, should always consider her mother to be her BFF. ๐ ๐ฉ
MILLIE had a troubled past, and a Cinderella story.
She came to Last Hope in fall 2023 from Texas after she & her brother were hit by a car there.
Her puppy brother was killed, and MILLIE suffered lacerations which later tests showed included a deeper orthopedic injury.
MILLIE has had several specialists look at her leg, including orthopedic experts at the Schwartzman Animal Medical Center in NYC, who all agree there is no surgical way to fix her leg without pain & a limp that linger.
So maybe, MILLIE is lamenting her slight lameness, or her "girl troubles".
Or maybe , MILLIE is really upset she hasn't been chosen as flower girl or bridesmaid , now that her Mom Sarah is engaged.
๐ฌ On a serious & scientific note, researchers at Univ of Michigan are using AI to try to decipher the messages behind different vocalizations when a dog barks . See the link to the AI Bark Study below:

๐โโฌ๏ธ JESSE "Catcalling" his sister SADIE. ๐
JESSE ( formerly MAGOO) was 1 of 89 cats rescued from a hoarder house in Bellmore several years ago.
Most were hiding inside the
walls, but, JESSE, was the Cat Mr. CONGENITALITY of the bunch when Last Hope met & took him from Town of Hempstead Shelter where all tge seized cats were held.
SADIE ( formerly SLIPPERS) was a sweet Field Spaniel mix who came to Last Hope on a Georgia rescue transport in August .
Both have been so fortunate to be adopted by Kim and Sue.
Kim happens to ve both a Last Hope dog & cat volunteer so he meets all our orphans.
This duo hit tge Pet Lotto Jackpot when they crossed paths with Kim

My Question: Have JESSE & SADIE bonded?
๐ป Update on "A Kitten Called WANDA" ๐โโฌ๏ธ
This is WANDA, the tiny tortie that John Debacker netted & saved when she was stranded against the median on Wantagh Parkway during rush hour last week.
WANDA has been chilling at Last Hope since her ordeal seen on TV news.
She is about 7-8 weeks old & quite frightened. John has bern working with her at Last Hope Wantagh, and lots of TLC & handling have softened her fear.
Previously, she would hide under her blanket, shivering in fear.
NOT ANY MORE...WANDA is a purring machine, welcoming petting. [ Listen carefully to the video]
The person who first noticed WANDA stranded on the parkway & posted her danger is interested in adopting WANDA.
WANDA is waiting to be spayed so she can move to a safe & loving home.
This tiny tortie is on the cusp of beginning
of " A WONDERFUL LIFE".
