More kitty transports!

Today Kim and I did our 7th PnP Freedom Flight.  Today was 3 wonderful kitties going from Torrance, CA northbound on a two leg journey.   We started off with a bit of cloudy weather from Carlsbad, but made our connection in Carlsbad with Toni, who delivered Tiger, Pyewacket, and Joni to us.  All 3 cats were a little nervous, but settled into the 1.5 hour flight well.   Tiger was talkative for a bit, but Kim settled in next to him and gave him some attention, which was all he apparently wanted.

We connected at Fresno/Chandler with another pilot, also named Kim, who was picking up 2 dogs who were also headed north.  As she said, we could not have picked a hotter day to do it, the temperature in Fresno was about 102.  With that in mind, she loaded up all 3 cats and both dogs in her V-Tailed Bonanza and took off.  Later in the evening we got word she had safely delivered all to their destinations.

As with all of the connecting flights, this took a solid team effort, starting with Michelle who organized it all, to Toni and the other rescuers who deliver them to us at the airports.   My thanks as always to Pilots n Paws for being the catalyst that brings these flights together, and to all involved who did their part.
