About Us....

Most of these cats are rescued ferals from the groups living in my yard or the neighborhood block. Some live with us inside - the elderly ones who need more attention and medication. The rest have their own house with a screen porch for warm weather (we cover it with plastic in cold seasons) and a nice snuggly indoor area for winter.There are 19 of us cats so scroll down to make sure you meet them all. We have black cats, black tortoiseshell, gray tabbies, brown tabbies, tuxedo blue, and all white cats! Some are more tame than others but they all have a safe forever home with us.

Yoko goes to the VET!


Sixteen year old Yoko who has a touch of Hyperthyroid (not full blown but running high) is going to the VET today. She has been dehydrated and not herself the past week. We need to find out what is going on. Purrs and Prayers for her please!

UPDATE!
Thanks for your purrs and prayers. Yoko had a long day yesterday and is resting today. The VET took blood - not easy with her. They had to use a face mask or hood to cover her head and then she was calmer. They gave her fluids, a vitamin B12 shot and an antibiotic shot cuz her gums were sore from teeth issues. We will have to deal with that on another visit. Poor Yoko peed at the vet's cuz she was scared - they cleaned her all up. We had to drive in a horrible rain storm and got soaked getting out of the car! What a day! We will find out the blood work results by Friday or Monday. Will keep you posted.
