Prayer Request for Shag Carpet the Cat & all animals out in the terrible snow storm

From Comment section:

...Will anyone willing to say a prayer tonight for my stray? We call him "shag carpet" because he more or less looks like one. He is a feral adult who wants nothing to do with us, but we provide shelter and food for him. Tonight we are having a very severe snow storm, and my husband and I accidentally frightened him out of his shelter! He ran out and down the road, and the storm is supposed to go all night =( We shoveled so that he would have an easier time getting back in, and have come inside to avoid scaring him again. PLEASE ask for intercession on his behalf. Thank you!

Thank You, Lord.

Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, St. Jude, St. Anthony, St. Martin, St. Rita, St. Gertrude, and St. Francis, please in your mercy watch over ShagCarpet and protect him, guide him safely back to the weather shelter these kind folks have blessed him with.
We have a similar feral friend who is very timid and terrified to come near us but he does know he is loved and I believe does have a sense of trust to a degree. Your ShagCarpet also knows you care for him and look out for him and though he may have initially ran from his shelter, I believe he will make his way back in his own quiet fashion. I know it is so scary when they are out in these storms, and be sure to know my prayers are on the way!; February 9, 2013 at 6:26 AM

We spotted him today dashing through the yard, and based on tracks, he's definitely using the shelter again.

The storm was almost historically bad for our area, with hurricane-force gusts of wind and two feet of snow accumulation in under 24 hours.

I can't tell you how relieved and thankful I am.
Thank you all SO MUCH for your prayers and kind comments!!
Now that I've found this site, I'll be visiting it daily to pray for others' intentions.; February 10, 2013 at 6:02 PM

Prayer for My Pet

In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God,
when You created the Universe
You blessed us with all living creatures.
We especially thank You for giving us our pets
who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life.
Their presence very often helps us get through trying times.
Kindly bless my pet.
May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me of Your power.

May we realize that as our pets
trust us to take care of them, so we should trust You to take care of us,
and in taking care of them we share in Your love for all Your creatures.
Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species
so that we may continue to appreciate all Your creatures.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers for Animals and their Masters

Hear our humble prayer,
O God,
for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering:
for animals that are over-worked,
under-fed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.

We entreat for them all
your mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves,
to be true friends to animals
and so to share the blessings of the Merciful.

Theologian and Humanitarian

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its
many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,
there is a land of meadows, hills and
valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring
weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
But there is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who
loved them on earth.
So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one runs from the group.
You have been seen.
When you and your special friend meet,
you take him or her in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again.
You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
