過年流浪犬貓大清倉?北市動檢所駁斥 2008/02/04 19:00:21

(中央社記者林紳旭台北四日電)對於近來網路電子郵件流傳公立流浪動物收容所將因應春節,實施「過年大清倉」,台北市立動物衛生檢驗所今天駁斥,指傳聞應是動物保護團體歷年媒體操作手法,北市流浪犬貓活的好好的,過年時不但有保溫設備,還有「加菜」慰勞。

動檢所表示,因應春節期間寒流來襲,已增設動物畜舍保溫裝置,犬籠架設紅外線燈泡,藉其所產生之輻射熱,達保溫效果並控制風扇啟動頻率及於犬籠週邊架設塑膠帆布,以防範冷風,確保收容犬貓都能安然舒適。

動檢所指出,春節期間每日皆安排兩位員工,犧牲假期妥善照顧收容動物,委外清潔人員仍維持正常上班人力,以確保動物收容品質,為迎接新的一年,除夕夜依照民間習俗,也為收容動物開肉罐加菜,補充熱量禦寒,希望牠們也能共享過節的喜悅。

動檢所表示,新春期間屬國定假日,台北市動物之家二月六日到十二日暫不開放,年後再對外開放,歡迎欲認養或是欲參加為動物志工的民眾洽詢,電話為02-8 791-3252。970204

秘魯一“神奇”貓咪愛好衝浪運動
“尼古拉斯”喜歡衝浪      

   貓咪怕水人人都知道,但是你聽說過喜歡戲水並且愛好衝浪的小貓嗎?近日在秘魯就有這樣一只喜歡衝浪的可愛貓咪。

   據了解,這只小母貓名叫“尼古拉斯” ,主人多明戈是在一次帶著它去海灘時,偶然發現“尼古拉斯”喜歡呆在衝浪板上的。多明戈稱這只小貓喜歡在水中表現自己,而不是在地上抓老鼠。

   不少網友在看到“尼古拉斯”衝浪的照片後表示,“‘尼古拉斯’確實喜歡在水�呆著,看起來它很高興。”(石磊)

  南美洲現在正是艷陽高照的夏天,海邊成了衝浪天堂。但在眾多衝浪客中,竟然還可看到小狗小貓在挑戰巨浪。這麼特別的奇景,帶您一起來看看。喵?貓咪在衝浪好手的背上大叫,不知道究竟是爽快還是害怕。不過這隻只有四個月大的小貓,適應力驚人,一下子就在衝浪板上站穩,重心放低,真的衝起浪來了。一般的寵物貓,別說衝浪不行,可能連把身體弄濕都非常厭惡。但這隻小貓會衝浪、還會游泳,神奇吧!不讓小貓在海浪上一"貓"當先。阿根廷這隻五歲的小狗、也輸人不輸陣,拖著衝浪板往海面衝去,一看到海浪打來了?小狗剛好跳上衝浪板,時間點抓得恰到好處,四條腿的小狗恐怕比兩條腿的人類站得穩多了。這條衝浪好"狗",在阿根廷海灘也是出盡風頭。看來人類衝浪已經不稀奇,帶著自家阿狗阿貓衝浪,才是南美洲海邊的最新流行。民視新聞 孫琬婷綜合報導I

日本政府撥款為流浪寵物設“醫保”
2008年01月29日 07:21:37  來源:新華網
新華網北京1月28日電 日本政府日前決定在新財政年撥款3.5億日元(約合300萬美元)作為“寵物預算”,為遭主人拋棄的貓狗等寵物支付醫療和養育費。

   據新加坡《聯合早報》網站1月27日報道,為鼓勵人們收養被遺棄寵物,日本政府26日宣布,撥款3.5億日元,作為被人領養的被遺棄寵物的醫療和飼料補助。

   日本人出于寂寞喜歡養寵物,然而,在一波波“寵物熱”中,不斷發生寵物被遺棄事件。雖然日本地方政府管轄的保健所有收留被遺棄寵物的設施,但按規定,如三天內這些動物未被其原來主人或領養人帶走,它們必須被處死。


   據報道,在“寵物預算”出臺前不久,日本厚生勞動省已對被遺棄動物收留機構發出一道“不殺生”命令,要求它們盡可能為這些動物尋找收養者。

   報道說,“寵物預算”之所以會順利通過,主要歸功于日本國會熱愛動物的議員越來越多。在這些議員影響下,日本不但決定設立“寵物預算”,還擬定目標,要在今後10年使被遺棄寵物的數量減半。

日本政府將撥"寵物預算"3.5億日元照料遭棄貓狗

中新網1月27日電,在日本掀起寵物熱之際,在多名
議員的施壓下,日本政府決定在新財政年撥款3.5億日元
作為「寵物預算」,為寵物支付醫療費和撫育費。

   據新加坡《聯合早報》報導,寂寞的日本人,養一
隻寵物來作伴的風氣已極為普遍。然而,在一波波的「
寵物熱」中,也不斷發生動物被遺棄的事件。

   就日本全國的保健所統計,在2006年,受遺棄而最
後不得不走上被殺「絕路」的狗貓寵物就多達30萬隻,
其中絕大部分是因為飼養者年老以及其他個人原因,而
不得不將之遺棄。

   日本地方政府管轄的保健所,設有收留野狗野貓的
設施,但也規定如在3天內飼養者或收養者不將它們帶走
,就必須將之處死。由於被遺棄的寵物有增無減,養育
狗貓3天的飼料費已漸漸成為負擔。

   在近期,日本衛生部以及環境部卻對這些設施發出
一道前所未有的「不殺生」命令,要他們盡其所能,不
要殺這些小動物,並給被遺棄的寵物尋找收養者。昨天
,日政府進而對外宣佈,將在新年度預算中,撥出3.5億
日元來作為寵物預算。今後,每一隻被遺棄的狗貓,將
可獲日本政府分發2300日元。而且,日本政府也決定支
付願意收養遺棄寵物的日本人打針和飼料津貼,以作為
獎賞。

   這筆新設的「寵物預算」是日本國會的一大突破。
預算所以會順利通過,主要歸功於日本國會近期有越來
越多的「愛狗家」議員。民主黨議員松野賴久就經常在
國會為貓狗說話,提交了不少寵物法案。在這些議員的
影響下,日本政府也不得不考慮「狗貓權」。新措施還
擬定目標,在今後10年,要把被遺棄的狗貓數量減半。

Five-legged cat to lose two paws  

Baby Girl will have two paws removed in the operation
A five-legged cat is to undergo surgery to remove a superfluous paw growing from the left side of her body.
The stray was found by a US family in Cannonsburg, Pennsylvania, and taken to a local animal shelter, where she was named Baby Girl.

The operation will not make her a four-footed feline, as vets also plan to amputate a deformed left hind leg.

But staff at the shelter say Baby Girl is already adept at getting around using only 60% of current paw power.

Chrystin Rice, who works at the Washington Area Humane Society, says Baby Girl is in good health as she waits for her operation, scheduled to take place within the next fortnight.

"She's a little bit wild, but she is very easy to handle," she said.

"The veterinarians who have seen her are just amazed that she has five legs. It's probably from in-breeding."

The operation will improve the cat's quality of life, the society says.

So far no one has applied to adopt Baby Girl, although there have been a number of calls to inquire about her progress.

But Chrystin Rice says people shouldn't be put off by the extra leg - or the forthcoming lack of one which should be there.

"It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said.

5-Legged Cat to Undergo Surgery
13 hours ago

EIGHTY-FOUR, Pa. (AP) — Cats may have nine lives, but one unique feline has five legs — for now.

The cat, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg, though the operation has not yet been scheduled.

The surgery is expected to leave the cat with three legs, and improve her quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society, where the cat will live until a home can be found for her.

Chrystin Rice, a kennel associate, said a woman brought Babygirl to the shelter on Jan. 19. The woman had first seen the stray animal as a kitten about a year ago in Canonsburg, south of Pittsburgh.

Babygirl appears to be in good health, Rice said Saturday.

"It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said.

Rice said some people have expressed an interest in the cat, but no one has applied to adopt her.

"We've had a few calls come in, but everyone's just kind of asking how's she doing, when's the surgery," Rice said.

Cats are known for having nine lives, but one feline in Pennsylvania has a little something extra somewhere else.

A black and white cat named "Baby Girl" was born with five legs as the result of inbreeding.

She's living at the Washington Area Humane Society in the Pittsburgh area until she can find a permanent home.

"Baby Girl" needs surgery to move the extra leg and another one that's crippled.

The shelter is asking for donations to cover the surgery.

動物星球╱德州好奇貓 協助逮到戀童犯
2008/01/26 18:19
記者許瑜菁╱編譯

西方有句諺語說「好奇心殺死貓」,但貓的好奇心會發生什麼事呢?美國德州一隻貓咪,就因此找到了兒童色情DVD,還讓警方逮到了一名戀童癖嫌犯,最高將判處10年徒刑。

一隻名叫蘇菲的貓,幫德州警方破了個大案子。貓主人艾美史賓瑟說:「蘇菲爬上去四處挖,我一開始想牠可能找到毒藥或是捕鼠器,我的朋友跟著爬上去,用手試探一下,結果找到7支DVD。」

不過令人驚訝的是,這些DVD裡面的女孩竟然只有5到11歲,在裡面和成人男性擺出性愛姿勢。艾美史賓瑟說:「真是太可怕了!我本來以為這是家庭錄影帶,因為上面沒有標籤,然後前7秒,我就開始知道怎麼回事,我一輩子從來沒有看過這種東西!」

警方在調查之後,發現原來這些兒童色情DVD是屬於前房客路易斯吉門茲。美德州警官派翠克寇其蘭指出:「這些畫面真是讓人憤怒,這不是青少年色情圖片,而是年僅5歲的女童,一大堆都像這樣。」

俗話說「好奇心殺死貓」,但是蘇菲這隻貓的好奇心,卻讓警方逮到戀童嫌犯路易斯吉門茲,這名戀童嫌犯因擁有兒童色情影像,最高可能被判10年徒刑。

Man Arrested After Cat Discovers Child Porn Stash

Amy Spencer can blame her cat for a shocking discovery she made when she moved into her South Austin new apartment: a stash of child porn.

Because of the cat's discovery, 24-year-old Luis Jimenez is now behind bars in the Travis County Jail, charged with the possession of downloaded child pornography.

Spencer says she had just moved into her apartment and was trying to find extra space when she and a friend noticed her cat, Sophie, clawing at something on top of the cabinet.

Spencer said she was shocked by what Sophie discovered.

"Sophie was up there, digging around, and I though at first maybe she had poison or a rat trap or something, and so my friend got up there and stuck his hands underneath and pulled out a stack of seven DVDs," Spencer said.

The DVDs contained video of girls aged 5 to 11 performing sexual acts with adult men.

"It was horrible," Spencer said. "At first I thought it was just like a home video because there was nothing on it, and then it became apparent within the first seven seconds, actually, that we watched that what it was. I've never seen anything like that in my whole life."

Police, however, said child pornography is not rare in Austin.

"This was an unusually large amount, normally you find some on the computer or something like that but to have six full DVDs," Sgt. Patrick Cochran of the Austin Police Department said.

"It's pretty outrageous stuff that's on them," Spencer said. "I mean, it's not teenage stuff. We're talking about, like, a 5-year-old girl on one, and stuff like that," Spencer said.

Spencer turned the stash over to apartment management, who provided police with the names of former tenants. Police were able to track Luis Jimenez through an e-mail address his girlfriend had given the Hunterwood Apartments when they had moved.

"They found one video on the computer, and at that point we used that as probable cause to search the rest of the computer," Cochran said. "He admitted to they were his DVDs, and child pornography was on them."

Officers credited Spencer and Sophie for helping them to make the arrest.

"It would have been the easy thing for her to do is just throw them away, but then we wouldn't have found him, and he may have gone on to get more pornography," Cochran said. "It's unlikely he would just stop on his own."

Spencer said she is happy police were able to catch Jimenez.

He is being held on a $40,000 bond. Because of the severity of his crime, Jimenez must pay the whole amount if he wants to post bond.

Possession of child pornography is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years behind bars and a fine of up to $10,000.

AUSTIN  --  Austin Police arrest a man for having kiddie porn, after a curious cat finds his secret stash of DVD's.

Police say 24-year-old Luis Jimenez lived in the Hunterwood Apartments in South Austin until August of 2007.  After Jimenez moved out of the apartment, a woman with a cat moved into the same apartment unit in September of 2007.  Police say the cat was exploring his new home when it discovered a hidden gap between the pantry and ceiling in the kitchen.

Police say the cat's owner then reached into the gap and found several DVD's, which contained child pornography.  She gave them to the apartment managers, who in turn contacted the Austin Police Department.

After an investigation, police learned that Jimenez was living at the apartment with his girlfriend until August 2007.  Jimenez was called into the police department for questioning, where he admitted to officers that he downloaded the pornography from the Internet without his girlfriend's knowledge.  

On Thursday, Police arrested Jimenez on possession of child pornography charges.  He could face two to ten years in prison if convicted.

Curious cat finds child porn stash, leading to man's arrest
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A cat snooping around its new apartment found a hiding place where the previous resident hid a stash of child pornography, police said.

The woman who owns the cat noticed it could stick its head in a gap between the pantry and ceiling, then a friend reached into the gap and found DVDs containing child pornography, according to an arrest warrant.

The woman took the DVDs to the apartment office and police tracked them to Luis Jimenez, who had moved out of the apartment last year.

Jimenez, 24, has been charged with possession of child pornography and was being held on $40,000 bail. Possession of child pornography is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a fine up to $10,000. There was no attorney listed in Jimenez's jail file Friday.

頑皮貓 佛州搭機到德州
潛入行李箱 飛行1300哩


【本報綜合二十三日電訊報導】10個月大的小貓格蕾西18日晚爬進主人的行李箱,毫不知情的主人帶著行李通過機場安檢,在空中飛行1300哩,下機後行李箱在傳送帶上被認錯行李的陌生人拿回家。這位好心的陌生人發現後聯絡到主人,終於使格蕾西得以在20日與主人重聚。
佛羅里達州Sun Sentinel報23日報導,住在佛羅里達州的凱莉.李維(Kelly Levy)最後見到她的寵貓是在送丈夫去機場之前,但她返回棕櫚灘公園的家中後發現,愛貓格蕾西不在通常等候她的地方。

格蕾西數日前剛被割除卵巢,凱莉找遍整個房屋,她和父親還掀開衛生間的瓷磚,搬開壁櫥裡的架子,也不見格蕾西的蹤影,只好在住家附近張貼尋貓啟事。凱莉說,她接到一個電話稱:「你好。你可能不信,我是從德州福和市打來,我錯拿了你丈夫的行李。我打開行李箱時,裡面蹦出一隻貓。」

打電話的是37歲的卡特。他說,直到回家打開箱子前,他都不知道拿錯了行李:「我打開箱子,看到一些衣物後,知道不是我的箱子。正要關上時,裡面跳出一隻貓來,竄到床底。嚇得我驚叫起來,跳到半空中。」

卡特說,他最終讓貓從床底出來,「看到貓脖子的標牌上有牠的名字和電話,於是就找到了正在哭泣的女主人」。

卡特承認,他在與貓的主人取得聯絡之前,曾考慮收養牠,「準備為牠取名『行李箱』」。

美“偷渡貓”安全返家  
2008年01月25日 08:50:06  來源:新華網  


【字號 大 中 小】 【留言】 【打印】 【關閉】  【Email推薦:    】


   美國佛羅�達州一戶人家的寵物貓趁主人不備鑽入行李箱中,不料淪為“偷渡客”,順利通過機場一係列安檢,被陌生人帶到得克薩斯州。經過一番周折,這只“偷渡貓”20日晚安全返家,回到主人懷抱。


   痛失愛貓

   美聯社24日報道,這只虎斑貓名叫格蕾西,剛滿10個月大。格蕾西的主人是利維夫婦,家住佛羅�達州棕櫚灘。丈夫名為塞思,現年34歲;妻子名為凱莉,現年24歲。

   凱莉18日晚送丈夫前往勞德代爾堡機場後,閒逛了一會,而後返回家中。她以為格蕾西仍會向往常一樣,在樓梯最底層臺階上等待她歸來。但這一次,她發現格蕾西以往等她的位置空空如也。

   凱莉心中一沉,馬上意識到事情不妙。她奔向浴室旁的一處空隙——格蕾西平時最愛的“寶地”。格蕾西生性靦腆,害怕生人和噪音,經常獨自躲避在這�。

   凱莉輕聲呼喚愛貓,但無論她的聲音多麼溫柔,都沒有得到任何回應。

   凱莉21日接受採訪時說:“我當時找不到它,簡直像發瘋一樣,把整個屋子翻了個底朝天。”

   情急之下,凱莉找到父親幫忙。她的父親甚至用錘子敲下浴室�壁兩塊瓷磚,在縫隙中尋找格蕾西,但仍無結果。

   錯拿行李

   當凱莉焦急地尋找格蕾西時,在千�之外的得克薩斯州沃思堡,羅布·卡特卻被行李中躥出的不速之客嚇了一跳。

   卡特現年37歲,是摩托羅拉公司一名管理人員。當他滿身疲憊返家打開行李箱,卻發現�面物品並非自己的綠色襯衫和黑色皮鞋。當卡特正要拉上行李箱拉鏈時,一個毛茸茸的小東西從�面迅速躥出,鑽入床下。

   卡特回憶當時情景說:“我像個小女孩一樣尖聲驚叫起來。”

   受到驚嚇之余,卡特感到一絲憤怒:有人竟為省下幾十美元,把寵物藏匿在行李箱中。他當晚開車帶著錯拿的行李返回機場,找回了自己的行李。此時,那只貓仍躲在床下不肯出來。

   第二天早晨,卡特終于設法把那只貓從床下弄出來。“我近距離觀察這只貓,發現它的衣領上有電話號碼。我撥打那個號碼,接電話的正是另一名乘客的妻子,她痛哭流涕。”

   貓歸原主

   丟失愛貓的凱莉在家附近到處呼喊格蕾西,卻失望而歸。正當她打算張貼尋貓廣告時,電話突然響起。這是個陌生號碼,區號也來自不熟悉的地區。

   電話另一端,一個陌生男子說道:“你好,可能你不會相信,這是從得克薩斯州沃思堡打來的電話。我錯拿了你丈夫的行李。當我打開行李箱時,一只貓跳了出來。”

   凱莉驚喜萬分,立即通知了丈夫塞思。最終,塞思從卡特那�領回了格蕾西。這一次,他花80美元為格蕾西買了一張機票,讓它不必再扮“偷渡客”。

   重見格蕾西,凱莉非常激動:“我可憐的小貓咪,幾天前剛做完絕育手術,卻被困在行李箱中,通過勞德代爾堡機場安檢,又乘飛機到達得克薩斯州。”

   卡特事後說,如果找不到貓的主人,他就打算收養它。“我已給它取好名字,就叫‘行李箱’。”(張旌)

This Cat Has a Long Tale


Gracie Mae, a 10-month-old kitten living in Florida, got a little too curious when her owner was packing for a trip to Texas.

The tabby crawled into Seth Levy's suitcase, went through an airport X-ray machine, got loaded onto a plane, thrown onto a baggage belt and mistakenly picked up by a stranger far from home.

At home, Levy's wife said she searched for the cat everywhere. Then she got a phone call from Rob Carter in Fort Worth, Texas.

Carter told her: "I went to unpack . . . and saw it wasn't my suitcase. A kitten jumped out and ran under the bed. I screamed like a little girl."

Gracie Mae made the 1,300-mile trip home safely on an $80 plane ticket.

Hey, Mr. Spaceman


Within a few years, some wealthy tourists could be blasting into space in a craft that looks like a cross between a space shuttle and a corporate jet.

British businessman Richard Branson this week unveiled a model of a spaceship that he hopes will take the first paying passengers into space as early as next year.

The cost: $200,000 for a short trip.

Letting the cat out of the bag
Here's a cat who crawled into her owners suitcase in Florida on Friday, got accidentally loaded onto a plane to Texas and ended up with a stranger who had mistakenly picked up the wrong bag and brought it home.

Gracie Mae made the return flight Sunday night and was reunited with her owner, Seth Levy, of Palm Beach Gardens (seen in the AP photo to the left.).

Levy's wife had taken him to the airport Friday and dropped him and the bag off, according to an Associated Press story about the incident.

When she got back home, she couldn't find Gracie Mae, who had been spayed just days before. She and her father took out bathroom tiles and part of a cabinet to check a crawl space and papered the neighborhood with "lost cat" signs.

Then, amid the searching, she got a phone call. "Hi, you're not going to believe this, but I am calling from Fort Worth, Texas, and I accidentally picked up your husband's luggage. And when I opened the luggage, a cat jumped out," Kelly Levy quoted the caller saying.

Rob Carter said he made it home with the suitcase before realizing it wasn't his -- and there was a big surprise inside. "I went to unpack and saw some of the clothes and saw it wasn't my suitcase," he said. "I was going to close it, and a kitten jumped out and ran under the bed. I screamed like a little girl." Carter said that he eventually was able to get the cat to come out from under the bed, called the owner and made arrangements for the cat's return.

Cat's out of the bag after journey in a suitcase
1 day ago

MIAMI (AFP) — Just when he realized he had grabbed the wrong suitcase at the Dallas/Ft Worth airport's baggage claim, Ron Carter got a bigger shock as a cat jumped out of the bag, Florida's Sun Sentinel reported on Wednesday.

Carter only realized his mistake when he opened the suitcase at home. He was about to close it again when a 10-month-old cat popped its head out of the suitcase, took one look around and bolted under the bed.

"I must have jumped six feet into the air and screamed like a girl," Carter, 37, said, according to the daily.

He eventually coaxed the furry pet from under the bed, and noticed her collar featured the name and phone number of her owners, who had been frantically looking for their beloved "Gracie Mae."

The cat eventually was reunited with her owners in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

公貓依偎遇車禍母貓久久不散(圖)

公貓撲到母貓身上,用爪子一遍又一遍地撫摩著母貓


  欄目主持 張偉 林丹 張超暉

  一只活貓,一只死貓,就這樣偎依著,在馬路中央,久久不散。圍觀的人都不敢上前,清潔工剛上前一步,就引來這只花貓淒厲的叫聲。

  “它們倆都是流浪貓,經常在那邊草叢里竄來竄去的。”福州三利花園的保安陳師傅說,已經死掉的棕黑色母貓是先來的,後來黃白花的公貓來陪它。兩只貓天天在一起,很親熱的樣子。昨天下午1點,它們跟往常一樣竄到馬路上嬉戲,一輛小車開過,母貓倒在血泊中。

  當時在小區門口休息的劉依伯說,母貓被撞死時沒發出任何響動,公貓還很歡實地往前跑。“像有感應一樣,它猛地一停,扭頭,然後像箭一樣撲過去。那個叫聲聽得人心寒!”

  公貓撲到母貓身上,先用爪子一遍又一遍地撫摩著母貓,“就像醫生急救做心肺複蘇一樣。”做了十幾分鐘,母貓沒動,公貓整個身子都挨了上去,不停地蹭著,簡直都要把母貓拱起來了。

  大約半個小時,公貓就像瘋了一樣,叼著母貓的尸體拼命地甩啊甩,甩不動,就咬著母貓的尾巴,還是甩不動,公貓發出一聲淒慘的叫聲,然後就趴在母貓身上哀號。這時圍觀的人越來越多了,有些十七八歲的小姑娘眼中有淚花。

  兩點半左右,清潔工又試著上前幾步,這回公貓沒動,她就把貓尸收拾到垃圾車里,走了。公貓就這麼呆呆地看著。又過了大約半個小時,它才起身,一步一步,慢慢地走遠了。

  “貓也重情,不比人差啊。”路人們嘀咕著,也散了。

野貓病奄奄 師生合力搶救
更新日期:2008/01/19 04:09

〔記者胡健森╱宜蘭報導〕身受重傷、奄奄一息的野生小貓,在宜蘭市光復國小師生合力下,幸運保住一命,雖然少了一條腿,總算逐漸康復,校方也決定把為小貓募款剩餘的經費成立「光復國小動物保護基金」。


野狗前緊急搶下 小貓一命


光復國小六年愛班學生游芳茹、林耘安、張家瑜、方子旻、林處諠、陳銜懋,去年十一月十日擔任糾察時,發現一隻小貓瑟縮在學校牆外,右前肢嚴重潰爛,還流著血水,一旁有野狗虎視眈眈。


學生趕緊通報老師,送到動物醫院急救,六名學生得知小貓咪得開刀治療,急需醫藥費,在班導師吳兩賜支持下,主動向六年級各班募捐,兩天內募得四千多元;老師們也決定一起負責不足的部分,校長林添財就捐了五千元;不只師生,包括安親班老師、在學校周邊賣衣服及速食店老闆知道此事後,也都慷慨捐助,宜蘭動物醫院也主動減免部分費用。


光復國小出錢出力 還認養


郭曉倫老師不僅出錢出力,最後還認養了這隻小貓,為了讓小貓儘速康復,四度帶到台大動物醫院診治,還提供廿四小時暖氣讓貓咪養傷,這隻曾經流離失所的小貓,在光復國小師生的愛心照料下,現在可是幸福得不得了。
