Underground Railroad Rescue


Hi! I want to tell you about the lady and big guy's journey yesterday helping the Underground Railroad Rescued Kitty Network (URRKN) get a kitty named Scribbles from Massachusetts to California. They drove him from Pennsylvania to New Jersey. Starting yesterday, he has many car rides and then a plane ride before he reaches his final destination on May 9.

Scribbles was found in a parking garage, covered with grease in the Bronx on Dec. 26, 2014. He was taken to NYC Animal Care Control and sadly was put on "Death Row" for Jan. 8, 2015. Fortunately, Scribbles' luck changed when a woman from California saw him through social networking and wanted to adopt him. He was fostered in MA while all the plans were put into place for Scribbles to begin his journey to his forever and ever home.

Scribbles was the perfect gentleman, quiet and actually seemed to enjoy the journey. He loved getting chin and cheek scratches.

We will be excitedly following all the update posts and pictures on Facebook, looking forward to seeing him arrive home.

    Bravo for the ride for Scribbles! My Dad does that from time to time too and says is it so rewarding to help a kitty get home.

    How awesome! We live in California, but with our location, we never get called on to help with these.

      Where in California do you live? URRKN posts our transports on our facebook page and rarely actually call drivers. Come check out the page everyone: https://www.facebook.com/groups/URRKN/

    That is so wonderful to help out Scribbles! What an exciting journey he has ahead of him! Mom would love to do this only she doesn't drive the big interstates.

    what fun for you to be a part of it, although I was thinking it was too bad they couldn't fit a train ride in there somewhere
