“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
Warwick, is facing charges for abandoning an animal and unnecessary cruelty. Next to a dumpster outside the Bayside Apartments on Sandy Lane, one of the employees of the property found cardboard box and went to throw it away. That’s when he noticed there was something inside of it.It was a cat, but looked like a ball of fur.It had 12 pounds of fur on it. However, the fur actually saved it from freezing to death outside. It was 23 degrees that day, and his fur froze to the side of the box, and was dusted with snow.He barely looked alive. His eyes were hidden underneath his fur and were crusted shut.The cat was covered in urine and feces.It took vets two hours to cut him out of his matted fur. When they finally did, they saw his tail was purple and cold to the touch.Amazingly, the cat was otherwise okay, aside from some minor medical issues that the Warwick Animal Hospital took care of.Norman, as he has been named, will be up for adoption at the RISPCA soon, but Dr. E.J. Finocchio cannot fathom why he was not brought there in the first place.“Bring a cat like that to a facility such as ours…don’t dispose of an animal just like a piece of garbage.”That is something he is unfortunately seeing more and more of.“They seem to get worse and worse each case you have is worse than the one preceding it...

IrmaPHOTO GALLERY: See Irma’s devastation in Florida and GeorgiaThey were not alone. Significant portions of the metro area, from Snellville to Sandy Springs and Conyers to Cabbagetown, remained in the dark Tuesday, with nearly 900,000 Georgia residents — more than 320,000 in metro Atlanta — still without power as evening approached. Gov. Nathan Deal urged the state’s residents – and thousands of evacuees from Florida sheltering in Georgia – to stay put on Tuesday as workers remove debris and clear roads damaged by the remnants of Irma. The governor warned that recovery is “going to be a little more slow” because the massive storm touched every corner of the state. At least three people died as a result of the storm, including a Dunwoody man killed when a tree fell on his house as he slept and a Forsyth County woman killed when a tree fell on her car. “All things considered, I’m just thankful no one got hurt,” said Dunwoody resident Ken Burnett as he surveyed damage from a 60-foot sweet gum tree that crashed into his mailbox, taking nearby power lines down with it. “It’s going to be a hell of a cleanup.”September 11, 2017 Atlanta: A sleeping Sandy Springs man died Monday after a tree crashed through his home.? JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM JOHN SPINK / AJC/JOHN SPINK / AJC DeKalb County appeared to take the brunt of the storm. Dunwoody City Councilman Terry Nall warned the clean-up effort will take time. “Despite the massive power outage and loss of traffic signals, everyone, so far, seems to be calm, patient, and considerate, especially at intersections,” Nall said. “This will not be a quick fix, as outages are expected to last for several days.” As of 5 p.m. Tuesday roughly one out of three Georgia Power customers in the county remained without electricity. Half of DeKalb’s school were also without power late Tuesday. Schools there will remain closed Wednesday, as will the Fulton, Gwinnett, Clayton, Cobb and Atlanta school districts. With children staying home and power out, local merchants prospered, especially those offering creature comforts usually ... (Atlanta Journal Constitution)
