Hi! My name is Michele and my friend Rene has been bugging me to finally post so here I am. I have 16 cats and 3 dogs. Well officially two but I am working on my husband to keep my lastest "foster" dog. I work with Rene in her rescue organization and I foster puppies and dogs. My current dog AJ is a abused pit bull cross. He was beaten and actually burned. He still has scars on his back. Rene and I think he was beaten and burned to make him mean. AJ does not have a mean bone in his body so he was dropped off at the pound. I have fallen madly in love with him and I can not give him up. Most of my cats are rescues too. I do have three Maine Coons but the rest have been adopted. I have a 10 year old Rag Doll that I just rescued. She is the greatest. My lastest rescue Colby has cancer and diabetes but he is the greatest cat too. Thankfully right now he does not need insulin he just has special food. I will always do whatever it takes to keep him heathly along with all of my other babies. I am also friend with Sandie and Donna who also post here. We all enjoy going to cat shows together. I have been reading the posts for a while now and I really enjoy this site. I look forward to making new friends here.
