Baby it’s cold outside!

Yikes! It’s -18 degrees Celsius here in Montreal this morning! That’s darn cold for a Georgia boy! It reminds of my first snow last year. My peeps adopted me in September 2013 and all was nice and warm and fallish for a couple of months, and then… White stuff fell from the sky!

Here I am scoping it out with Colby, not too sure of how to react I was… Note my spiffy winter coat, I’m definitely more into heat than this cold stuff, and my vets want me to keep my slim physique to not put extra weight on my front paw so I don’t have much extra padding to keep me warm!

Well, have a good day all, I’m off for our morning walk, us tripawds need to keep our muscle mass strong to support our limbs, nothing better than good walks!

And then we were three…

Hello fellow tripawds…

How interesting to find a site dedicated to us… Most sites seems to focus around those strange four legged creatures… We live with one ourselves, quite odd really, but that’s getting ahead of things, allow me to introduce myself!

I’m Cooper, a tripawd Redbone Coonhound from Georgia, now living in (cold!) Montreal, Canada… I share my treats and cushions with Cinta, a fellow tripawd Maine Coonecat and a strange four-legged Golden Retriever, Colby. She walks funny but we like her anyway… We’ve tried to teach her the hopalong without much success…

Here we are:

Compassionate Placement

Well folks, I need a bit of compassion here—I recently had one of my front legs amputated because of unfixable damage, BUT I am as good as NEW!

Just WAIT until my beautiful long hair grows in again and covers the area, bet you will never notice, because I get around just GREAT in my foster home, I am truly an AMAZING boy!

At a bit over 1 1/2 years, I am a Domestic Longhair Cat, as sweet in nature as you will ever find, and I get along FINE with the cats and dogs in my foster home, I am mobile but LOVE to get a good cuddle and I purr like a kitten! Exceptionally loving, you will never regret making me your life partner!

I am neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FelV tested negative, dewormed—good to GO! Are YOU my Earth Angel?

Gerdy’s Rescues & Adoptions Update
December 15, 2011 ·
“Why are we never surprised” department: Gerdy got a call from a woman about a cat with a paralysed leg, a stray, would we help? Gerdy agreed, we had the leg amputated as was the only solution, THEN found out the cat was really that person’s cat and had been to the same vet with the leg problem in SEPTEMBER, in pain, left the vet’s without treatment then. Why not just tell the truth in the first place? Of course we now have the poor cat in rescue to be adopted. Is anyone willing to foster during the convalescence, can you help?

Gerdy’s Rescues & Adoptions What a SWEET boy this 3 legged lad is! He is up and walking about, all stitched up and taking it all in stride. The vet did a wonderful job, his long fur will grow in and cover it up in no time. his name is Peppermint Paddy, he is ready for adoption but we need a foster temporarily!! EARTH ANGEL NEEDED, folks!!
