On the advice of my best friend, Laura, I used the divider, which usually comes with crates, as a shelf.  Now Treasure has over 50% more space so she can take a well-deserved timeout from the kids. Being the great mom that she is, Treasure comes down regularly to nourish her growing babies.     […]

A day well spent promoting our shelter, adoptions and the need for volunteers.                                              

Besides sending out the invitation to all the volunteers, the cats also sent them to a number of VIP’s. RSVP’s are starting to come in.

With the coming of warm weather, our beasties are enjoying the enclosure.  Many are still baffled by the complexities of the swinging “catty door”  which has to be propped open. Getting closer to observe squirrels and birds is a good thing.

Yesterday I told you about the new wall shelves that were installed that our cats were using with great delight. When I came into one of the downstairs rooms this morning, this is what greeted me. The shelves are a perfect height for the cats. Existing wrap-around windows with window-sills are above ground and they […]

I invaded his “hidey place” with the business end of the long brush with little low-growl resistance.  The brush worked its magic while I whispered to him and hummed a long-forgotten lullaby. Later, I asked Tanya to take a few pics during a second session with Mr. Wonderful.  Surprisingly, he did wonderfully.  Touching and petting […]
