In 2005, the Jacksonville Humane Society became a no kill organization.   In 2014, the city of Jacksonville joined in with that same decision and now works in cooperation with other groups in the city to save animals.

If you’ve been following along, you know that we are going to tear down our childhood pool to make way for other things.  Today, while preparing the 20 x 40 olympic size pool for demolition, two kittens moseyed out onto the floor (no water) of the swimming pool into the open surprising all of us, especially Daniel who was driving the excavator.

Everything stopped and we tried to catch the young kittens but to no avail.  We thought they could not get out of the pool area but as we prepared to “go in”, out jumped both of them.

Daniel went to the store and bought soft cat food and in short time, they were full and happy.  They stayed around to watch the pool come down.

We do not know the future of these young kittens but you can be sure they are visiting with a no-kill family. (Oh, BTW, we’ve already named the black one with white paws, “Socks”. Also, food is already on the counter for tomorrow.)

See you tomorrow,
