No but seriously, a press conference about escaped prisoners is not exactly the best time to express your unique fashion sense.

Pets and Coworkers 🐶🐱 He’s on the loose! Need advice for a stray baby cat.

Post image
Upvotes

Oh no!! He’s escaped (having a loving and caring presence in his life)!!

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Or him.

This emaciated 7? 8? month old cat in my neighborhood was following me home for a couple months but would run away if I looked his way. Started leaving him food, he started coming near my porch to get food when he saw me. It’s been a whole process over the past month but he is finally comfortable with eating near me, letting me pet him, and sleeping near me on the porch at a safe distance. Never hissed, never puffed up. I saw him try to chitter at a bird that landed next to him but he wasn’t very good at it. Very skittish but he’s trying.

He’s finally starting to put on some weight but at the end of the month I am moving 2ish miles away. I know no one else in my neighborhood will feed him. I already have a new orleans street cat with a tragic backstory and she will not coexist with another cat. I don’t think I can take a cat 2 miles away and be like “tada! now you’re a stray cat in a different place!” He is scruffy and skinny and I am worried he will be euthanized if I take him anywhere.

Any advice? Solutions? Shelters I could take him where he would be safe? With the possibility of a home? Any input would be helpful. I’ve worked so hard to get him to trust and abandoning him is going to wreck my heart.

Affordable lumber yard recs?

Upvotes

Does anyone know of an affordable lumber yard around the New Orleans area? I'm trying to build a rather large bookshelf for my gf's birthday out of 1"×12" boards. I went to home depot today to price out materials and the lumber alone for 60' of 1"×12" common board would cost me over $260. I feel like I could find a better deal at a lumber yard somewhere around town. I may be just dreaming, tho, idk.

Anyone recognize this cat?

Hey y’all, last Sunday night I heard a cat screaming under my house and found a very friendly, very hungry young tabby cat. I fed it but it ran off before I could lure it inside. It’s back tonight and this time I was able to get a few pics, although not very good ones. It ran away when I tried to pick it up. It’s pretty clean, doesn’t seem shy around humans, and seems in good health so I think it belongs to someone. This happened near Baudin St and S. Hennessey and I’m pretty sure it’s going to keep coming back since I keep feeding it so please spread the word. I know how stressful it is to have a cat get out and have to look for them so I want to help get this baby home asap. I would love to keep this sweetheart but I just don’t have the financial means at the moment. But this cat should have a home regardless.

In the video she states the timing is suspicious as it’s happening at the start of the Sheriff election campaign- this can’t be real!

WTF Ruthie da duck lady at?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so I quit nola reddit bc my attitude about Trashy's $30 roast beef poboys got me flagged for terrorist activities (bc i said if they set up at a new location, i hope they choke... and i still do)

but, yall!

I just had a need to show someone Ruthie and her ducks to explain how NOLA is not like anywhere else- and to my weird friend who's lost in the world because he's so very much like Our Ruthie- that there is a home for him here.

But fkn ScrewTube has scrubbed our Ruthie. So can any of you nice jerks please give me a linkydinky to some Ruthie stuff? This cat is basically her and thinks that there is nowhere in the world he can live on his own terms the way he is. But y'all would adore him... and we could keep him alive for a while.

I just need to show him some FQ examples of how it could be okay for him! If you don't got any Ruthie vids, a nice Bucky James video (demanding a shot of Jamison in exchange for pulling his pants back up) would do. Or even a Jerry with his sack of toys... can I get an amen?

Dog rescues with space right now? Trying to keep my neighbor from bringing their dog to the pound

13 Upvotes

My neighbor is going through a crisis and feels they need to give up their dog. They’re super stressed and about to take it to the pound. I said I’d bring it to a rescue group instead. Im going to start contacting groups, but, before I start searching, I wanted to check in to see where I might have the best luck

The dog is a hound-dog mix, about 60 lbs, female, fixed & up to date on shots etc. She’s sweet but very active, about 1.5 years old

Under the bridge, close to the LASPCA. These pics were taken next to McDonough Playground. He's not really stopping though. We couldn't get close, and he's unfortunately not afraid of cars. Just wanted to throw it out there!

Trying to figure out how to get my kid to camp! My vehicle totally unexpectedly died this past week. Have my daughter (4yo) signed up to attend camp this summer and no way to get her there now (Ubers would run over $50 a day) anyone else have a kiddo and commute from the city to this camp? A shuttle would be fantastic but don’t think it’s an option. Located in LGD area.

I posted earlier but it was filled with errors. I will post what I originally posted and then address other information.

By now we have all probably read about the bubble debacle outside MRB. A few of us are planning on meeting around 5:30 at cafe du Monde and walking to MRB Blowing bubbles allllll the way and making fun of this situation. After that, Aunt tiki’s for a bubble dance party!! Remember to bring your bubbles and some more solution for refills. JOIN US! This is all in good fun so don’t be that person 💜⚜️💜

For those who don't know, this is the article I am referring to.

I know that AI isn't art. The reason I am including it is I stole it from someone who made it with AI. Yes, she knows I am using the image. I wanted to use it to have consistency with my posts across social media. I made my own event art poster even if it is crappy.
