Sarthur, civilizing and caring for a cat with possibilities is a wonderful thing - I will send good vibes that the lonely tom will come into the fold and enjoy a new life as a (neutered) member of your household. We have adopted other toms that showed up in the past, but they were not violent...

Yes, after several weeks of him showing up at any hour of the day or night, trying to start fights, ambushing and biting our couple of old spayed females sunning on the deck, and hosing down our deck and exterior cage area with urine, we finally trapped him. When at the vet's to have abscesses...

Thanks for all your thoughts on the feral.  I am a giant bleeding heart.  I want to save them all.  I am a vegetarian because all my life I've loved animals to distraction, prefer them to people (present company excepted!), and at the age of 50-something could no longer say, "oh I just love...

I'll have to look at that thread.  I was a little afraid after my last post that some might find my rehoming of the feral tom offensive.  He was so aggressive - bit two of our girls that then required antibiotics for infection.  Tried to start fights through a screen window where the basement...

The mom of the week-old kittens (found under a porch in a cardboard box, nobody willing to claim her), in a state of bliss after deworming, weaning, spaying, lots of food, and the knowledge that she'll never be a street cat again. Sending good thoughts for the return of Newman.  Have you...

That is a beautiful photo of the sleeping group - I wish mine got along that well together - we have to be careful because of this one not liking that one, etc. And yes, "that look" is familiar - people recoil, look at you suspiciously.  We're setting up more indoor/outdoor spots and that side...

I'm going to have to look for one of those dolls too - apparently six is the cutoff to be considered a CCL?  What does that make me at 11? Here is the Olympic champion squirter - weighing in at 50% more than he did when we rescued him.  And I've received a couple of lovely notes from people...

Very good point - why is having lots of (well cared for) critters hoarding or crazy when somebody with a property and multiple buildings full of metal stuff is a "collector"? It does hurt to lose those really old ones - our last several were between 18 and 22 when we had to let them go. And...

Here is another one of the rescued week-old litter (at a slightly older age - calico on the left is not their mom but another rescue age 12).

Thanks for the kind words! I will have to figure out how to add photos - there are plenty, but I'm really bad with computers. It's like running a toddler daycare where they all want to sit on your lap.  They're all so wonderful, how to give equal affection?  Same reason they all stayed here -...
