Hello all,

My sweet old boy passed away earlier this month from cancer. He’d been diabetic since last year, and while he used most of the insulin bottle he was on, I still have about 50 unused insulin needles in their sealed packages. Does anyone know any animal rescues that might want them? I emailed my vet’s office who said to email a local shelter, but that shelter apparently doesn’t answer their email. It feels like a waste to throw them out. Thank you!

Just throwing it out there if anyone needs a wheel alignment. Purchased extra from Groupon and would like to recoup some of my cost. I bought it for $85 for a service that’s normally $130. I’ll sell it for $60.

Does anyone remember the bar called Peppers in the late 80s/early 90s?? I’m sure it’s long gone but does anyone remember the location/what might be there now?? TIA

Hello friends,

I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this subreddit but I'm a week out and at this point I'm losing my mind as I type this. My boyfriend and I moved into our rental home in Old Town Orange about 2-3 years ago. We don't do anything besides keep to ourselves as we're turbo nerds and mainly just stay indoors playing video games. We ran into a stray cat that walked into our backyard one night in pretty poor condition. This was in the middle of a heatwave, so even at 9pm it was still over 100 degrees. He actually decided to walk into our house and passed out on the tiles.

Alarm bells were basically going off at this point. We, as non-pet owners, didn't really know what to do as we had 0 preparations for any animals, so we brought him into a vet to get him scanned and checked out. Mind you, we had no carrier or ANYTHING, so we had to stuff his poor behind in a moving box and pray for Jesus as we brought this literal stray baby into an emergency 24/7 vet office. He had no chip, and we had to register him as a found pet to various directories.

He was covered head to toes in fleas. Doused in the worst scarring on his face from the bites and more. He had a rolling skin condition and more. I had to work incredibly hard to get him cleaned up to even be allowed back to other vets for further check-ups and appointments. On top of that, we were stressed trying to de-flea our brand new home and figure out how to find his owners. We contacted many different potential matches on websites to no avail. After some time, he was deemed abandoned so we decided to rescue him ourselves.

I fell in love with this little idiot. We figured maybe a previous resident left their cat purposely behind, especially for the sheer amount of fleas on him, it definitely wasn't an overnight thing. We asked neighbors with no leads either and more. We went through the legal work of microchipping and officially adopting him. We restored him back to full health and fixed up some of his other medical issues. He became an eager indoor cat, as I have heavy beliefs against allowing an animal be an outdoor cat for many, many reasons: coyotes are prevalent in even the most urban places in California, they murder birds and wipe out the existence of songbird species, and also humans are assholes and harm cats for fun (or get hit by cars often). Not dealing with that. However, we did make him a little catio so he can chill out and go in and out of the doggy door that our house came with.

On Wednesday 10/23, we had a strange old lady and her older daughter knock on our door demanding that the cat is theirs and to hand it over. I don't know how they found out our info, and it's fine if they were the previous owners from many years ago, but there's a lot more to this case than a simple "oh yeah, here's the cat, here you go". At this point, this is our pet. We tried finding the owners, we used pawboost, nextdoor, facebook, and other local resources -- this animal was relatively abandoned. We told them that it's most likely not their cat and that we have had him for quite some time now, also that he's chipped. They were really hostile and slamming on our glass door before we even answered, yelling at us and the cat. It was fucking bizarre.

Regardless, we didn't think much of it and went off on our small weekend trip. Gone for only two days, we saw on our ring camera the women approaching our house every day with more and more of their family to intimidate us. They were claiming that they will show up to our home daily, we were home and purposely not coming to the door, a whole slew of work. We again, figured we would just settle this once we're home, no problem. Kept all of the receipts from the years on our cat and more. Not to mention, their cat description literally didn't match the one of the cat that we owned, they listed off issues that simply didn't match.. the cat we have.

Regardless, nope, not good enough. They found out we weren't home and decided to *break and enter our house and steal ONLY the cat*. Also, conveniently, they stopped showing up to our home before we called the cops, which... c'mon.

Our cat, the love and joy of our lives, was stolen from our home. This cat has a permanent skin condition from mistreatment, flea scarring and a whole bunch of other issues from being mistreated. When I mean he had hundreds of fleas on him, just picture his face being swarmed with insects. It was heartbreaking to even look at it, I had to bathe him several times just to get rid of any flea on him. We feel scared that our home was broken into, and they managed to do it off and away from our ring camera. We can't quantify the amount of pain that we're feeling over this situation and just want him to come home. A detective is working with us, and we found out who was in our ring camera initially while we were away with the power of weaponized autism and the internet.

If anyone has any information or sightings on our cat, we will reward you greatly. We will also reward a large $ if he's found. I have been unable to sleep since he's been taken. I love our cat so much and he's been nothing but a positive addition to our lives.

We believe the thieves live in Hesperia and would be forever grateful for his return. While he was stolen in Old Town Orange, he could also be placed in hiding as we have understanding that the family is trying to cover and lie in their tracks. Very conveniently when I started piecing together who might've done it, I noticed a few of them have ME blocked on instagram (logging out I can see, logging in I cannot). Which is funny!!

I won't blast the people publicly that did it as I am working with the police to get the job done, but either way I'm distressed, feeling hopeless and just want my cat to come home.

I appreciate it if you made it this far, I'm not a good storyteller and not sure where else to share this. I'm going to also post in other community subreddits. Long time lurker, first time poster.

Does anybody know where I can get a good quality thick mexican blanket?

I'm sure you know which weeds I'm talking about. Wife wants to get some goats thinking they will eat them. I'm not sure they will eat those

Anyone know a good place besides Tractor Supply to get some egg laying pullets up here? (Not meat birds) It's pretty late in the season so TS doesnt always have them and I don't want small chicks.

Hi guys, just introducing myself. I'm new to the high desert and thought I would join this group. I'm 40, married, a couple kids under 5. Looking to find out what's good here, but also would like to meet either of the following:
-Guys who like hiking, camping, walking, day trips, Korean Spas, I dunno whatever's cool around here
-Couples with small children

I do drink, but straight edge beyond that.

Time is busy at this stage in life but I would like to make some new friends in the area.

Where are some good places to meet new people here in the desert. Definitely just for connections and friendship, nothing s3xual

I’m 21m, I feel lonely and bored most of the time, I want to make friends and connections. The only place that I can call social is the gym but I haven’t gone in a while

Any info or anything on the 79 yo lady who was killed? I know somebody seen something. She wasn’t homeless and definitely deserves justice for whoever killed her and left her in the fucking dirt. I hope whoever seen anything can speak up or whoever did it to turn themselves in.

Hey! My friends and I are building a labyrinth out of empty glass bottles, and I'm trying to source like 1710 of them. This is obviously hard since they have a cash value when recycled.

I've called some local bars and might be able to get some from them. But if anyone knows of another place I might be able to get some I will be super grateful! I'm in Victorville and can drive to pick them up!

Good morning y'all! Do you guys have a go-to sports bar to watch ufc/ boxing fights/basketballgames?

Hi, my mom wants to become a radtech/x-ray tech but there aren’t any accredited schools up here. It’s looking like she will have to attend a community college here for pre-requisites and then transfer to a school down the hill. But she would rather not have to make that drive so often for classes. The idea of going to school for four years also makes her a little nervous as she works full time. I’m wondering if that’s the only route she can take to get this kind of job? If there are any radtechs in this community, could you please let me know how you got your job/what schooling you did? I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

Been a minute since I had me a papusa and I know there'sa place next to sub machine on the west side is it any good?

Hey yall! Make sure you get an and vote this year. Make a plan, and make your voice heard. It doesn't matter who you support, your vote is important. Don't let this opportunity pass by.

Should be a good time :)

Anyone else having issues with loose dogs in the High Desert? Victorville Animal Control will not pick them up. It’s like all these people dumping their unwanted dogs in the Desert.

Anyone know what they're going to be building? Corner of Mojave and topaz fencing just went up this week.
