Pet Adoption Day Meet Patsy, who
is singing the same
Sunday, Oct. 2 sad song as country
Noon to 4 p.m. music legend Patsy Cline
did years ago.
PetSmart Patsy is the lone survivor of a
1653 Millerville Rd. litter left to die. Her first rescuer decided she didn't want the
Baton Rouge sweet little kitten and was going to have her euthanized.
FAWS stepped in and rescued her a second time.
Patsy has already gone through 3 of her 9 lives and is now
waiting patiently for a hero to step forward and give her the
loving permanent home she deserves.
Born around 5/20/12, Patsy is up-to-date with vaccinations .
Her adoption fee is $40 which includes spaying. To rescue Patsy
from a life of loneliness, call today 225-252-5138 or email FAWS.

Many thanks to our great cat wrangling team for another successful LSU Spay Day. Sue, Amy,
Brittney, and I spent our entire Sunday with this event, not to mention taking three trucks to Baton
Rouge. Special thanks to Amy for not only spending her entire Sunday with this event, but also her
Saturday night was spent trapping cats at remote locations. Julie adeptly handled the 6:00 a.m.
signing in desk. Gail and family hauled cats early Sunday and returned them late Sunday night all
over the parish, and then some. Thanks to Candice for setting traps and monitoring them.
Our efforts resulted in 36 cats being spayed/neutered/4-in-1 vaccinated/and rabies vaccinated.
We are getting close to finishing up the TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) of the 60-cat clan that is
located 3 miles north of Clinton. We spayed/neutered 6 of that cat clan this spay day. By our best
estimates, we still have about 10 unaltered cats left there. We have adopted out 13 of those 60
cats and have 4 in foster care. This spay day we started with another large cat clan. That group
has about 30 cats. We trapped 11 for this spay day.
We are especially grateful to LSU Vet School for this excellent service and to Cat Haven for
organizing it all. A total of 120 cats were spayed/neutered Sunday. They gave FAWS
approximately 1/3 of their slots. Without this event, East Feliciana would have no cat program.

Socks is so lucky! Julie Neider fell in
love with him when she saw him on
Petfinder. So she drove from Metairie
in horrible weather to pick up her
new puppy. He has a lot of new
friends to spoil him now.
Snowflake
made a good
choice when
he picked
Carey Lauret
and family to
move in with.
Sadie (on the left) is another
lucky puppy. She gets to live with
Ashlei Smith and will hang out with
Ashlei’s sister, who also has a cute
little black dog.
Spitfire is going to be with
his forever family around the
clock. Doug and Bonnie Hines
adopted him to be their
beloved family pet and will
also take Spitfire to work with
them at the St. Francisville Fire
Department.

Dax looked so cute on Petfinder that
Andrea and Brian Smart just had to adopt
him, even if it meant driving in bad weather
to pick him up. Dax seems pleased as
punch with his new forever family.
Lady Bug
(aka Lady Bird)
got lucky to find
a forever home with
kids. Dianne, her new
owner, sent this us this
update:
“Yesterday the grandkids
came over and they had so much fun with her . . . .
They threw her toys and she fetched happily until
they were all out of breath. Then we turned on the
hose and they all got wet and you know how LB
performs with the hose...the kids thought she was
so funny!

back yard, then marked it with a stone
and a new rose bush.
Now their surviving adult cat sits on the
grave for several hours every day.
Annissa and her husband find it too
sad to see their mature cat without a
feline friend. Puma looks like a real
heart mender!

Birdie was
adopted by
Logan Dixon of
Belle Chasse.
He was so
excited to get
Birdie that he
came right
away to
pick her up.
So he and his
girlfriend made
the long trip to
pick up Birdie. Elliot went to his forever home with

to check out Dax and then couldn't
decide which puppy to get. So, off they
went back to Shreveport. We got the
call Monday afternoon that they really
like Elliot and wanted to come back on
the 4th. Seems like this is going to be a
real good fit.
