Have I ever mentioned the hotel cats on this blog? (smile) Peter Pan came from a feral colony living in an abandoned hotel in Florida. He and his sister (Tinkerbell) came on the The Rescue Railroad from that hotel to me. Peter Pan is quite young – maybe 8 months... Continue reading

Sixteen Minus Three Plus Four

My plan for today was to continue my June Is Adopt-A-Cat Month campaign. However, even though this won't be an adoption post highlighting an individual Winnie's Wisher, it is definitely related. Early last week my aunt emailed that a feral mom cat had a litter under her deck. She thought... Continue reading

My plan, long before now, was to introduce you to Traci. You don't know her story because I have not yet written about her on this blog. In order to tell you about Traci Mae, I have to go back. Do you remember a kitty I took in named Ivy?... Continue reading

Kippie is part calico and part Siamese. She has crossed blue eyes which I find completely adorable. She is an absolute beauty with a personality to match. Kippie had been living in a small cubicle in an animal control facility and for some reason this gorgeous girl wasn't chosen for... Continue reading

Teddy is a big beautiful boy who had been passed over for adoption at an animal control facility because of his age. He is seven years old. I know this cuts down on the number of years he will be part of your family, but I don't consider seven to... Continue reading

June is Adopt-A-Cat Month

As I was counting down towards my wonderful vacation in May, I started making my mental plans for the blog in June. I decided that it was time for another big Adoption Palooza. I had such WONDERFUL adoptions over the Winter and into the early Spring that my cathouse started... Continue reading

Vacation (Heading Home)

There was no way I was going to leave Goldie behind. Cheryl had worked tirelessly to try to save another kitty from the hotel. I had come prepared to take hotel kitties back with me. Circumstances seemed to work against us. On the last afternoon in Florida, my daughters and... Continue reading

Vacation (Part III)

After spending a week in paradise, it was time to return home. I would be returning without any hotel cats. Things just hadn't worked out. Younger Daughter suggested we take a kitty off death row at an animal control facility since we had planned all along to take cats back... Continue reading

Vacation (Part II)

For several weeks before my vacation, I was in contact with Cheryl (Feral Cat Colony Feeder at the abandoned hotel > now demolished hotel). Throughout this period the buildings were going down and then clean-up of the rubble was underway. Cheryl moved the feeding stations to the edge of the... Continue reading

Vacation (Part I)

I returned from my vacation last week. Each year, when I get back home, I dive headlong into my busiest season in terms of my boarding business. That's why I'm just now back to blogging. It took all of last week to catch up and get back on track. My... Continue reading

This is “the week before”. We leave for Florida at the end of this week. My sister and I were talking about how the week before and the week after make you wonder if the time away is worth it (smile). Of course, it IS worth it. As I've said... Continue reading

Cats With Your Coffee

Grab your coffee and settle in. I've got LOADS of pictures of cats and kittens today. Enjoy! I hope to find out by this weekend if anyone has stepped up to become a temporary foster for all of my fosters. The FIFTEEN kittens and their three moms in my Kitten... Continue reading

Mariela or Gabriel?

We've taken in kittens who were so weak it was a sure bet that they wouldn't survive. It can go either way. I was fostering three little sweethearts for the shelter, one of which was in a near-coma state, in the Fall of 2011. The two little boys made it,... Continue reading

With No Place to Go

I've talked about the three foster families I have in my NEW Feline Room. The kittens are old enough now to be adopted, but it is much better for kittens to stay in foster care than to be housed in the shelter. They are not fully protected at such a... Continue reading

On The Road Again

Remember me saying something about spending the next couple of weeks doing updates on Winnie's Wish kitties who need homes? And remember I said this - Of course, around here you never know when something will happen to shake things up a bit. Well, let's just say I'm going to... Continue reading

Foster Families for Foster Families

Yesterday, I said I wanted to spend the next couple of weeks doing posts about the ten current Winnie's Wishers. But I completely forgot about an update on the shelter cat families I have here. We are searching high and low right now for foster placements. I will need to... Continue reading

THIS is the wonderful month that takes me to Florida. Every year in May, we close up the kennel for a couple of weeks and head for the land of palm trees. Have I ever mentioned that I love palm trees? Yeah, OK, maybe I have. Well, have I ever... Continue reading

We Never Gave Up

The plan was for me (this past Saturday) to drive north in Illinois on Interstate 57 as Janet was driving west on Interstate 70. Where those two interstates come together, I would hand off Hershey Bear and Frosting and head back home. Janet would continue her drive west – to... Continue reading

Baby to the Bridge

Today is the day Hershey Bear and Frosting will be in their forever home with Mary and her husband. Mary has promised pictures, so I'm sure before this week is out, we will all be able to see these two lucky kitties FINALLY with their new mom and dad. I... Continue reading

On Monday, I teased about telling you something this week that would “re-sweet” Valentine's Day. My Valentine's Day post was about two Winnie's Wish kitties being chosen by a couple in Los Angeles. For two months following that post, I've been searching high and low for a way to get... Continue reading

Mindy Slimmer said in her comment on my Monday post that the hint about one of the good news announcements indicated an adoption - because adoptions are one of my favorite things. She is right! So . . . What is black and black and black all over? Wait. Let... Continue reading

Does anybody out there happen to remember the outpouring of support I received when I added the second room on to my cathouse? The money came pouring in and ended up covering a third of the cost! It was amazing. The second room is bigger than the original one-room cathouse.... Continue reading

Glimmer's Kittens

My makeshift maternity ward is now a nursery. Sixteen kittens from three litters. The three little families are in three separate cages. Last year during Kitten Season I wished for a special room set aside just for pregnant moms, nursing moms, and then playful growing kittens. Over the Winter, the... Continue reading
