You like what you see

Now that we've gone through the adoptions for 2012, let's take a look at who we currently have in our adoption stable. This list is always subject to change, not because we're adopting them out so fast, but because some cats have been on it so long we basically consider them residents (I'm looking at you, Marbles).

Hello I must be going

After Malibu & Co. were adopted, we planned for a quiet summer. We said we weren't taking on any new projects, no TNR, no fosters. Then of course, stuff happened. We did a small TNR project in Sunset Park that yielded us a new foster (Shelby), and other cats literally wandered into our lives (Frostbite, Arrow). Of course, tragedy also struck when our foster friend died, and we couldn't help but get swept up in the ensuing work to place all of her cats. That's still going on, but since August we have adopted out 10 cats! That's a new record for us, even though we still have way too many at home. But more on that later. For now, here's the 10 who found new homes since August. Read More »

Now that 2012 is over, I can finally sort some of it out. The year included venturing into new territory, primarily the world of animal rescue.

We got to help out when a woman who was fostering some of our cats suddenly and tragically died, leaving her 14 charges homeless. Read More »

Creflo, one of the new guys

My site is working again! Actually, it's been working this whole time, but after the hurricane I wasn't able to post from work. But things are getting back to normal again, so it's time to add some updates! And there has been a lot of stuff to mention, but I'll have to save that for a later post. Expect a rehash of the last few months shortly! It's been pretty nuts; suffice it to say, we're down to 13 cats in the house right now, if that's any indication of what went down over the summer/fall. More soon!

Family affair

Last time all the kittens were together

Malibu and her kittens have all moved on! It took just over 3 months, which seems both like a long time and no time at all. There's no time for us to rest, of course, we've already got another foster in the house, another calico! But more on her later. Here's how the family left when they moved out: Read More »
