9/9/2016 This morning, Nala Serval didn’t come out to eat. When we called her to the side of the cage she was holding up her left foreleg. It turned out to be broken. She probably did it while bounding around after a bird or squirrel. She’s an avid hunter and one of our youngest and most active cats. Nala will be in the West Boensch Cat Hospital overnight. She has the Nest cams on her. /cams She will go into the Humane Society of Tampa Bay tomorrow for a plate in the leg. They didn’t want to do it tonight because she was sedated for the exam, and then it would have been hours under anesthesia to drive her over there and then do the surgery. Better for her to wake up and go in tomorrow. A man called on Dec. 13 and I called him back the same day and told him we would take his father’s serval if he would contract to never own another exotic cat. On the first call he said that his dad was in the hospital and not expected to survive. I told him all of the rules for us taking the cat and he agreed, but then I didn’t hear from him for 20 days.

Meanwhile, on Dec 18 we were asked by USDA to take 2 bobcats from a Donna White, but I never have been able to connect with her. mambo hoodies ukAlso, on Jan 1, one of our supporters asked us to rescue a rehab bobcat in CA. epcot hoodieWe contacted the rehabber there and offered to assist, but they had been misquoted in the press and the bobcat was doing fine.g star hoodie usc On Jan 2 he called and said his dad had died and that he wanted us to take Nala. hoodie weather soundcloudI told he we would need a health certificate and would have to ask the FWC for an import permit, which can take 2 weeks.zack & zoey hoodie

On Jan 3 his vet called and asked what we needed him to do as far as a health certificate because no one could handle her. sepultura hoodieI told him that the vet only has to look at the cat and say it is breathing for the purpose of the certificate. lacoste tennis hoodyHe said his wife was a vet who had worked at Jeff Kozlowski’s big cat place in WI and that he had done some exotic cat work, but that he was very happy he didn’t have to handle her. He said that he knew her vaccines were not up to date; that he thought she was declawed and thought she might have been spayed. Jason faxed me the health certificate that night and the next morning I applied to the FWC for the import permit. On Jan 4 the son called and asked me, again, what airline to try and I told him Delta might do it, but that it was hit or miss with them. He asked if they would come get her and I assured him they would not and that he would have to catch her, put her in a dog kennel and then at the airport he’d have to show the health certificate and even then they might not take her.

I told him a couple hours in the air would be a lot less stress for her than riding all day in the back of a van, but that if the airline wouldn’t accept her, we would come get her. Much to my surprise the FWC issued the import permit the same day and faxed it to me. I emailed the son and told him the import permit had arrived. He called me late that night and said that Nala had cost him a lot more already than he thought she would to send and that he was going to ask his brother to help pay her 360.00 airfare. On Jan 5 the son sent an email saying Nala was “paradise bound”, was in the air and would be here by 3PM. We picked her and released her into her newly renovated Cat-a-tat and video will follow soon. ** January 2013 Advocat Newsletter – Nala Arrives – Nala arrived on Sunday, January 5th at Tampa International Airport.  She was met at the cargo warehouse by BCR CEO Carole Baskin, President Jamie Veronica, and volunteer veterinarian Dr. Justin Boorstein.

Here is how to insert a drawstring quickly and without difficulty. Attach a large safety pin to one end of the string. Push the safety pin into the opening of the waistband or casing as far as you can. Feel through the fabric from here on in. Squeezing outside the waistband, pinch the back end of the safety pin and push more fabric over it from the front. Then, push another length of fabric over the safety pin, and so on. You should have a length of fabric bunched up over the safety pin.

Pinch the front of the safety pin through the fabric and pull the excess fabric back along the drawstring. Repeat this action as necessary to pull the drawstring all the way through so that the safety pin emerges at the other end of the casing. Remove the safety pin. Pull the ends of the drawstring so that they extend an equal length. As appropriate, knot the two ends of the drawstring or tie them together to prevent them from slipping through again. If you tie knots in the end of drawstrings, you can avoid this. If you insert drawstrings often, look for a device called a bodkin, designed for this purpose. It is longer and more slender than a safety pin and it will do the job faster and more easily. It looks like a pair of tweezers with teeth and a ring to pinch them shut. You will find them in a shop that sells sewing supplies. If you are sewing the casing, an alternative is to sew it with the drawstring in place, thus saving yourself the work of threading it through.

Just be careful not to sew the drawstring to the casing. When the drawstring is pulled through and centered, in the center of the back of the item, stitch through the casing and drawstring to secure the drawstring and it will not pull out again. If you are sewing the casing, make it and the openings a little wider than the drawstring will require, so that you'll have space for the safety pin or bodkin. If the drawstring is only pulled partway into the casing, you might only need to reach into the hole with a pair of tweezers to grab it and pull it back through. If you're feeling especially lazy, straighten out an old coat hanger (the wire kind) and insert it through the entire casing. Tape the drawstring to the hanger and pull on the other end. Sometimes when you try to get the safety pin past seams in the casing, the pin will get caught under the edge of the seam allowance. Pull the safety pin back a little bit and maneuver it over the edge of the seam allowance.
