 The cats love to snooze on top of the deep freeze. From left: Peaches, Jamie, and Kit. |
 Sylvie was found in a neighbor's yard, and was brought over, since the shelter was so convenient! We advertised, but no one came forward to reclaim their cat. She's a love bug, and we were happy to keep her! |
 We named this one Marble, because she has a marbled statue look with shades of gray throughout her fur. She's incredibly friendly! |
 Rufus is a 'Persian' style kitty, with 6 toes on his front paws, a 'Hemingway' Cat, or, polydactyl. Not sure how old he is - he was rescued from a hoarder, who had 40 or so others who looked just like him! Due to deformities and health issues from inbreeding, half of them died. Most of the others have been adopted now and only Rufus remains. |
 Here are Kit and Rufus again. You can see Rufus's toes better in this view. |
 Ringtail was rescued from the street as a kitten. He was adopted quickly, as kittens usually are, but his family decided to move, and they left him behind in the yard to make his own way. A kind neighbor brought him back to us. |
 Magellan likes to 'climb' up my leg to say Hi! We rescued him at 10 days old, as his mother had been taken away by people who thought she was a pest. The rest of the litter were all adopted, but Magellan refused to go with the person who wanted him. He tends to 'freak out' with strangers. |
 Sonny came from a farm rescue during the summer of 2004. It was an abuse situation and we got 18 cats that day. |
 Holly is most likely about 22 years old now. She had been rescued by a nice lady who was forced by the city to relinquish all but a few of the cats she had in her home. You can see Holly was treated well, as she is a very loving, cooperative kitty! |
 Ebony approached me in a parking lot, as if to ask me to please take him home with me.So I did! The clerks in the store said he had been there for 3 days, begging for attention and food from customers, and kept trying to get inside the store. He wouldn't leave! I took him to the vet's office and advertised him as lost, but no one claimed him. He's still here! And what a love he is. |
 Sox came in as a kitten from a deteriorating neighborhood where she was being abused and harassed. She's very affectionate with people, surprisingly, but not other cats. |
 Mystery showed up, well, mysteriously, one day. I was gone for a while, but there he was when I came home, relaxing in a cage in one of the buildings on our place. He's neutered (we can tell), and is obviously a well kept cat. Of course, his collar was gone, so we put another on him. |
 Callie is 11 years old, displaced from her home when her owner died 2 years ago. She has finally learned that this is her new home. |
 Ciego is the Spanish word for 'blind.' This little gal was being tortured as a kitten and by the time I got to her, her eyes had been poked out. Three vets recommended euthanasia, but I didn't think that was necessary. She needed massive doses of antibiotics, but she recovered, and is a very happy 8-year-old cat who even trusts people! |
 Fancy came in as an older kitten and never got adopted. He's very shy, doesn't approach you, but is very happy to let you rub his tummy. Now, how nice is that? |
 Shadow is like a wild cat, but loves people. He is a 'late-neuter-tom' that is still aggressive. We think his people thought neutering would tame him down. But it didn't, and they took him to the pound, where we found him. (Some people don't neuter soon enough, when it would be more effective for behavior issues.) |
 Georgia came from...yep, Georgia! She was rescued from an inevitable fate at many shelters, being put down because they need the room for the next wave of rescued cats with no place to go. She has grown very large but is a real pussycat with a playful streak! |
