It’s been sad and frustrating for me to watch Alice try to integrate herself into our little colony here. She’s a tiny little thing, scrawny and used to scrapping for food. And she’s obviously used to standing up for herself to the bitter end. For whatever reason, after release from being trapped and nipped, she […]
Sometimes cats show up on my porch to eat and I don’t understand how they can be that goddamn skinny and still be alive. Alice was one of them, and then Boris showed up. I initially called him Boston, but he was this awkward, amicable, think, gangly cat that reminded me of an Eastern European […]

NMHP is part of the drive to end unnecessary euthanasia in Alachua County, and part of that is stopping the flow of unintended kittens and puppies. […]
Temporary Name: Temporary Charlie Gender: Male Color: Black & White Fur: Short Born: Approximately 4/17/14 Mom: Lil Mamma Family: 6 kittens Currently available for adoption. Charlie was the smallest of the litter. A little crusty-eyed kitten that could barely compete for a milky nipple. Of course I’m a sucker for the underdog (undercat?). In the […]
Temporary Name: Elusive Number 6 Gender: Female Color: Black & White Fur: Short Born: Approximately 4/17/14 Mom: Lil Mamma Family: 6 kittens Currently available for adoption. When we first went out to bring these kittens in from our neighbor’s yard, we thought there were five and called it a day when we got five kittens. […]
