Hi there! Right now I have 5 feline friends who own me, my home, and run my life. Annie and Jinx are both 11 yr old DSHs and are extreme rescues. Maya and Caoimhe (pronounced Keeva) are 1 yr old purebred Maine Coons - a lifelong promise to myself fulfilled - and both are over 16 lbs and still...

My Nala 5 months old and the fee was $129 at the local humane society - the price for a kitten under 6 months old. She was my first foster failure and I love her to pieces. She had calicivirus as a tiny kitten and was lucky to survive. The shelter put a lot of money into saving her and I was...

I've read that the vaccine can cause all kinds of...

I'm fostering a 7 yr old semi-feral cat for the local humane society that appeared to be pregnant when she was brought in. She's part of a seizure of a criminal animal cruelty case and I'm socializing her while she gives birth and raises her kittens. Outside of being thin and undernourished, she...
