When I was a baby I was living outside and was so, so hungry that I went into a cage that had food in it. What happened next scared the hijibees out of me! Next thing I knew I was in a place and when I woke up my little hiney hurt for a while. They called me neutered after that! But my name is Zippy!
Things got better when I was taken to another place and was given toys to play with and lots of good food to eat at a place called foster care. Soon my siblings arrived and I wasn't alone at foster care. It was fun for awhile, but being in the same room for a long time is getting kind of boring, even though I have my sisters to play with. I really would like to get out of this room and have new adventures! I could be Puss in Boots! Or the Cat in the Hat! or Leo the Lion! Anything but a cat stuck in a room!
If you would like to help me to become the adventurous feline I am destined to be I would be so happy! And promise to make you happy too! Look, I'm a stand up comic! Not really, but I pretend to be sometimes. Please ask about me. I just might make you laugh if you would give me the chance. Thank you for listening! Signing off for now, Zippy (or you could also call me the Zipster)

More about this rescue
TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO RESCUE IS DIVINE!
Divine Intervention arose out of one woman's belief in the following statement:
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."
Author, Edward Everett Hale
Over the course of 4 decades of helping multitudes of helpless animals, I've looked into hundreds upon hundreds of eyes looking back at me, each soul with a story that without words were conveyed through those eyes.
Now my day has come to lay down the gauntlet of the fight to save them "all" as I close my doors and try to save myself and what is left of those who had come to me at an earlier time as I prepare to lose our home.
Kittens and puppies are irresistible, I know. But until you look into the eyes of an old soul and watch those eyes go from fear and distrust to gratitude and love, you are missing out on something special. They came to me from all the places you would never want for them to be, some from unimaginable suffering. They may not be cute balls of fluff, but they are more than that, those old souls. And now they need to be rescued again.
I do not want their ship to go down with mine. They have come this far and I want for them to live out what is left of their lives. They may not be so young as to attract enough attention to save them before the doors close here, and that is my fear.
What is my hope? My hope is that this message will reach those with a special kind of compassion that will divert the heartache that I the rescuer now feel for the rescued that have no inkling yet, that as I lose my home, they will lose theirs too.
My mission has certainly changed from what it had been when I was younger and bursting forth with all the energy in the world in my one person crusade to alleviate as much suffering as I could.
My proudest achievement in life is the hundreds upon hundreds of animals who went from suffering to happy endings. Now there are just these few left. I still have a little bit of time and some hope that there may still be a happy ending to this. I'm calling all Angels!
