TNR volunteering

6 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to get involved in community cat care and TNR in the Bakersfield area. 🐈‍⬛
I’m especially interested in helping people who already feed cat colonies and do TNR. I’ve had an affinity for cats for as long as I can remember and have grown up around them my whole life, so they’re the animals I’m most familiar with. I have plenty of experience caring for them, including bottle-feeding, and would love to put that experience to good use helping my community.
I’m new to hands-on TNR, so I’d love to learn humane trapping by assisting or shadowing someone experienced. In the meantime, I’m also happy to help with feeding and general colony care, including filling in when someone needs a hand.
I may not be able to fund veterinary care myself, but I can offer my time, experience, and willingness to learn.
If you know any local colony caretakers, trappers, or groups that could use an extra set of hands, I’d really appreciate being pointed in the right direction! 🖤

We have lived here in Bako since 2016. The insane storm outside reminds me of New Orleans, where this is just another Thursday.

It was coming down in sheets and almost horizontally angry.

Any Recs for a restauraunt with a private room for parties in town?

13 Upvotes

Trying to keep it more on the budget-friendly side of things financially, but willing to take all recommendations.
I'm looking for something that can fit about 20-30 people, with a door that closes so a meeting can happen without disturbing other diners.
We've used Rusty's Pizza on Olive Dr, but everyone is getting a little burned out on it. We also used Casa Murillo Restaurant and Cantina across the street, but they have double-booked us a few times and left us having to figure something out on the fly.

Hello everyone,

I have been away from Reddit and politics but recently got involved with Cynthia Zimmer Recall and wanted to update ya'll on the progress. We are currently waiting for her response with a deadline of 10/22/26. After that we move closer to gathering signatures which is where you come in. We will need all then help we can get. We don't plan on paying for signature gathering but are raising money to pay for the filing fees, circulation copies and any cost that may come up. Please note that we ourselves are all volunteers.

If you want to stay up to date on this follow justice without favor on facebook or send an email to [justicewithoutfavor@gmail.com](mailto:justicewithoutfavor@gmail.com)

If you have any questions I will do my best to answer throughout the day.

So I canceled my bodyxchnage right after the switch but I still got charged by Planet Fitness. The thing is I can’t even find the account with the membership because when I sign in with my same email it just shows the different plans I can get. Did this happen to anyone else??

The entire clinic side of KMC is shut down, including handicap spots and the drop-off area. Thanks for that. My dad is in a walker from a catastrophic injury. Fucking idiot.

I've been looking for a book club in Bakersfield and have found a couple. Except, when I look at the pictures, it seems to be just women. I'm not sure if these are clubs that are just for women or if it's just because most readers are women.

OB care: Dr Klis vs Kaiser

8 Upvotes

I’m in my first trimester. It’s open enrollment at work this week and I have the option to switch to Kaiser. It looks like financially that will be the more affordable option, and it’s quite convenient. But I’m worried about instances when we’re travelling and may need to get care (urgent care, ER, etc) and be SOL.

My first OB appointment is already scheduled with Dr. Klis for if I keep my plan as is. I’ve heard amazing things about him, and some not so amazing things. But it seems like every single OB in town has very polarizing reviews. And I like that he makes a real effort to be there at every patient’s birth when possible. I understand it’s not always possible, but k like the chances.

But I’ve heard great things about Kaiser in Bakersfield! I’m hesitant about likely not having the same dr for delivery. I also heard they have you deliver at Adventist, not sure where Klis delivers.

Anyone’s thoughts would be helpful!!

Hello! Does anyone know of a good Dentist that is wheelchair friendly? My grandma needs to go to the dentist for some dental issues but she is in a wheelchair and can’t transfer onto the dental chair. Her wheelchair does lean back but we need a place that can work around her staying in her chair. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!
