When Phil was Director of
Operations for
Dubsdread Golf Course,
there was a small feral community that lived around the
clubhouse. The mother cat kept having litters of
kittens, and thankfully they were all adopted by kind
golfers. The last litter was found and rescued just
before Hurricane Charlie hit Orlando. The three adult
females all survived the storm, but Phil decided
something had to be done about their situation. He
contacted
CARE Feline Rescue, Inc.,
and began the process of Trap-Neuter-Return for the
cats. This program calls for a long-term commitment to
care for the animals. Over the following
hurricane-filled months, the cats were given appropriate
names: Charly for the biggest of the group; Francis for
the youngest; Ivana for the mother (Hurricane Ivan put
the golf course on alert but moved elsewhere, and you
can’t name a girl Ivan!). The "girls" became more
approachable and visible, actually becoming part of the
lure and lore of Historic Dubsdread. When Phil left the
course in August 2005, Dave P. took over the feeding and
care of the group for him.
Fast-forward
to March 2007, and
Dubsdread Golf Course is
finally closed for a long-overdue renovation. Dave P. is
transferred to another course and the clubhouse becomes
quiet compared to the days of hundreds of golfers
arriving at its doorstep. All that remains are a few of
the course architects and crew, a couple of management
personnel, and lots of loud, heavy machinery. Phil knows
he has to honor the commitment he made to the care of
the Dubsdread cats. He starts going to the course every
day to feed and visit with the "girls." The course
general manager says he had received many calls
inquiring about the cats and he assured each of them
that they were going to be fine. Other concerned
neighbors, Diane F. And Jackie R., have also taken up
the task of daily feeding or checking up on the "girls."
Many have donated food for the cause, and a big Thank
You! goes out to them, especially Katharine C. and her
feline crew of Mercy, Moses, Grace & Loppy. It is quite
the sight to see Phil or Diane walking up to the
clubhouse with the three cats running alongside, meowing
their greetings.
For
the fifteen-month construction period, the "girls" had a
growing list of visitors checking up on them at their
newly remodeled home. Unfortunately, Franny became
visibly ill and had to be euthanized. This was a very
difficult decision as Phil considers the "girls" to be
his cats. She was only a few months old when he joined
Dubsdread in February 2004, and was the first of the
group to trust him, setting in motion the socialization
of the others. It is sad that the visitors to the new
golf course will not have the chance to meet the pretty
little dark-striped girl. We know that Sunny and Padre
have met her at the Rainbow Bridge and have a new
friend. Our thanks goes out to Linda and Don L. and the
staff of the Veterinary Emergency Clinic of Central
Florida, South Orlando.
Ivana and Charly have had
to make some adjustments to their lifestyle since
Dubsdread reopened. The course is beautiful, attracting
more visitors than ever before. The increased traffic
along with the longer hours of operation due to the
lighted range has made them somewhat shy. But you can
still see them at feeding time in the early morning and
late afternoon as they pop out of the bushes around the
clubhouse looking for Phil or Diane!

Early
one morning in mid-October, Phil was leaving a client's
home when he spotted an odd-looking animal in a
neighbor's driveway. Dog? No. Opossum? Maybe. As he
moved closer, Phil realized that the animal feasting on
the bountiful crop of acorns was a pig!
We
are talking about Harvard Street in College Park, maybe
two miles from downtown Orlando! It was obvious that the
pig was somebody's pet as it was unafraid of Phil. A
couple of cars slowed to take a look at the odd sight,
one man getting out to snap a picture, saying "Nobody
will believe me without this."
By
this time, the pig was on the move eastbound on Harvard,
crossing Westmoreland and headed for Edgewater Drive.
Harvard Street residents Peg and Niles
joined in the rescue operation while Phil called several
agencies hoping to have one assist in the venture, but
none would help with a non-domesticated animal. One
dispatcher suggested contacting Green Meadows Farm in
Kissimmee, so the call was made. By now, the hungry
pig
had been coaxed into a cage using cat food from Phil's
stash and a bowl of fresh water, completely unaffected
by its situation.
The return call from Green Meadows
provided a name of a person who had inquired about
obtaining farm animals for their ranch. When Phil
reached Anna,
she
said she would be happy to take the pig to a new home.
So the three-hour ordeal ended cheerfully, and here is
"Babe" with her new family. Thank you, Anna! |
