UPDATE: Kitty is home!

Please share.

12/11/2023

When your kitty is missing, this is a great example of why it is soooo important to make sure all of your neighbors know and check their sheds and garages. Cats are quick and like to investigate aka snoop. Thankfully, this neighbor noticed a kitty trapped in her shed and saved a kitty who had been trapped for 2 days.

Advice: Don’t just “wait awhile” to see if kitty comes home. You need to take action - knock on doors, etc and ask people to check their sheds, garages , etc.

This is outside of Grimes but these kitties need help. Do you know anyone with a boom truck or other such equipment who could help? Off 7th near Riverview Park in DSM.

UPDATE: GOOD NEWS! Ashanti is out of the cold. Thanks to Krystal Faith for raising the original alarm about Ashanti’s situation and for her determination to save Ashanti. Krystal spent many hours in the cold searching (after already saving Ashanti’s sister). She also posted signs in the area and made many calls, and set out food. Brenda Nowell Walker also posted signs.

The signs and posts worked! Another caring person from Providence Pointe saw our posts and signs. She recognized Ashanti’s description and connected us with an internal resident message board that included a report of a kitty matching Ashanti’s description being rescued at the apt complex. The Johnston police had picked the kitty up and took her to ARL.

faith has confirmed that the kitty at ARL is Ashanti! She is out of the cold and waiting for a new family.❤️Thanks to all who shared our posts.

**********************************
Please share: The search for Ashanti continues. Last seen in Providence Pointe apartment complex. If you know someone who lives in the Providence Point apts, please send the info to them.

Kudos to guardian angel Krystal Faith for her endless searching.
Thanks to Kinzie Sara Buchwald for her continuing support.
Thanks to Brenda Nowell Walker for braving the cold to post signs to spread the word.

In a wonderful display of “Grimes Nice” and the importance of “When You See Something, Say Something, Do Something About It”, Rachel Carlson Rohrbeck and her daughter have reunited a lost Urbandale kitty with its family.

Simon had been missing for 2 weeks. Rachel’s daughter found the kitty in Grimes and they did something about it! They posted immediately, kept kitty safe, searched online, and contacted the number from an online post.

Thanks to Rachel and her daughter for saving Simon!

We don’t know how Simon ended up in Grimes but are glad Rachel and her daughter did not just assume kitty was a neighbor‘s cat. It always pays to post because you can save a life.

WILL YOU HELP? GFF needs more outdoor cat huts for Grimes homeless cats. Our supply is exhausted.

The time commitment is small, but the impact is life-saving. Maybe you need a project for tomorrow? Or maybe you know a troop or class looking for a project? Please share. Any help is appreciated.
