Moxie Arrived

Moxie arrived on a hot afternoon. She swaggered into our colony’s community area with a look about her. She told everyone to back up. She was going to eat and the were going to leave her alone. She had moxie from day one. I thought she was a boy at first and started calling her […]

The Serious Stuff, Part 2

Part two of the house across the street drama unfolded unexpectedly on Wednesday afternoon. I had wondered if there would be any follow up after the three cats were removed the previous Saturday. I worried that maybe they hadn’t seen or been able to trap any other cats inside the house. Well, that is no […]

Princess Nara

Pepper / Nara 5-13-15 I LOVE getting updates on our furry friends who found furever homes! This one came in on a day that was kind of difficult, so it was such a great message! “Wanted to give you guys an update on Nara… She’s growing into such a beautiful cat. Easily one of the […]

The Serious Stuff, Part 1

It’s very hard for me to write this because it’s been a long and painful internal battle of mine. And it also is about emotional issues, as well as legal vs. right. But this is the thing that started the wheels spinning in the right direction, and helped to bring resolution to a situation that […]

I can’t tell you how much it breaks my heart that some cats are inside and loved, and some are outside and unnamed. That’s one of the reasons I start by giving a name to the regulars in the colony. It’s the first part of having a place in the human world. It’s so easy […]

Spider got adopted out before he could really meet Volvo, but with the weather getting cold and Voldemort darting into the house lately, Fighter […]

Sophie’s First day

  Sophie’s first two day were just for relaxation and evaluation. She hovers in the kitten room uncertainly, alternating between the windowsill and the hut at the top of the cat tree. Her roommates, Saffron and Ginger regarded her nervously at first but soon let down their guard. Observationally, I have become more convinced Sophia […]

Sophia loves the cat tree!

Sophia

Temporary Name: Sophia Gender: Female Color: Black & White Fur: Short Born: Unknown/aprox 8 months Mom: Unknown Family: Unknown Update: Adopted! This is breaking news to everyone, including Sophia.

Boris is Back

It was two weeks after his nip day that Boris turned up again. He looks so much like Alice, a skinny tabby cat, that it took me a blurry early-morning moment to do the math and realize I had too many cats on my porch. He’s been hanging out for a few weeks now. The […]

Boris’s Nip Day

SO EXCITED! Well, mostly tired, but so excited to catch Boris. He’s so skinny. There has to be a turning point for forgotten animals. A place they come to where fortunes change and they have a chance. I was up late checking traps with no luck, and decided to leave the traps open all night. […]
