I love Cats

After my last sad post, it's time for some shots of rescued cats happily asleep, safe and warm...these are their stories.Ernie was abandoned last February, his people moved and left him outside along with a couple of other cats.  I took two to THS for medical treatment they were adopted.  The woman who found them was going to keep...

Pebbles has been missing for almost two months and we pretty much knew he was gone but yesterday sadly I received confirmation that he is dead.  There is a musician who lives there in a trailer and he told me yesterday that he found him a few weeks ago in the cab of the trailer.  I know at one point the window was open a bit and...

I've been helping a woman on social assistance who used to have many many cats but now just has three, one of them is a 13 year old cat who has had litter after litter her whole life since she also has a male she refuses to neuter.  It sounds like she had a few litters a year, and they used to take the kittens to No Frills to find them...

I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who donated money or food recently.  Amazingly, thanks to everyone's generosity, I have enough money to buy six month's worth of food for the ferals.  I've received money from many people who I don't even know, and I truly appreciate it.It's been a hard winter for all of us creatures, and I have felt weary many times, but am buoyed by this outpouring of support.  In...

My heart sank this morning when I got an email from Andrew saying that he had to return Keiko, that he's not ready to have a cat, the old it's not you it's me story.  So sadly he is bringing Keiko back tonight.  Rick, his foster dad, is great, and is happily accepting her back.That's two returns recently and both so quickly.  I feel like in both cases they didn't give it enough time but once people's minds are made...

Last September Jackie asked me to feed her ferals, who are near our colony.  I showed up to do just that and a little black cat ran up to me meowing.  I thought well you aren't a feral cat, but we didn't have a carrier with us and she was gone when we went back.  The next day Steve went back and there she was again so he scooped...

I don't even want to talk about how depressing the weather is, that storm yesterday was brutal, I can't believe my poor ferals have to endure yet more cold and snow.I've been dealing these week with two of my problem cats, each of their costs are now at about $1000 each.Kempo belongs to a guy on social assistance.  I took him in for...

I finally trapped Wanda. Wanda in the trap, finally It took me forever. Wanda was altered on Feb 27th.  Mission accomplished.  Thanks, Wanda. Thanks to my friend, the other lady of the cats, for believing I could do it and sponsoring her alteration. Godspeed, Wanda! Beautiful Wanda Busted   ...

Here are some pics of the cuties at our place, enjoying the sun streaming in, I can't believe they are forecasting a snowstorm tomorrow, I thought we finally made it through.Bunny was living behind Marineland in Niagara Falls for many months, when she was first rescued she was very timid, but she's doing very well now, still a bit shy, but...

Some of you may remember the two senior cats who were rescued in December from squalid conditions, Snowball with his nails grown into his pads and Caesar his tabby pal.  They were adopted by a wonderful woman named Mai, a doctor, and who better to take care of Snowball.  It turned out his swollen abdomen was not caused by cancer,...
