Harley was the runt of my boyfriends moms cats litter. He was so tiny!
Now he's a 18lb monster


We adopted Bayley from our local Humane Society. Best thing I ever did, we adopted him after my sweet angel Davidson passed away, this past March

My 3 girls all came from the shelter I volunteer at - Stumpy and Smudge were fosters I couldn't give back, and Lily was adopted as a playmate for Stumpy (before Smudge came into our lives).

Here and there
I got Loki from the Humane Society branch in Maryland Heights, MO (a suburb of St. Louis). I got him because I was going to be living on my own for the first time in a non-dorm situation, and I knew I would be lonely.

I got Possum from Columbia Second Chance. I got him because Loki seemed to be lonely when I was gone for work and school.

Now, we're all happy. I'm so lucky that I found them.

My brother's friend had a friend who found Seamus and took him in. They got him settled down and then I took him. It was a situation where I always talked about getting a cat and never really looked for one, and the opportunity knocked and I answered.

My daughter's cat, Ami (the one in my sig) was from my friend's rescue, Bottle Babies in Omaha, NE.

My black kitten, Layla, was from SOLAS (Support Our Local Animal Shelter) in Council Bluffs, IA.

Layla was adopted so that Ami wouldn't get lonely while my daughter was at school and I was at work.

Ziggy (RIP) came from an add in a paper because we really wanted a kitten so that my son would learn how to look after them and grow up with animals

Links was one of Ziggy's kittens.

Lexi came from a farm where they trapped ferals and spayed them. She was a bottle baby thats mum abandoned her and her littermates. I answered an add on the internet for her home.

I'm a service coordinator who works with developmentally disabled adults. One of my clients had been feeding a feral mom and her kitten who lived in his back yard. The mom disappeared when the baby was about 5 weeks old; they presume she was killed somehow. Kit is that kitten. We took him in when he was about 7.5 weeks old.

Alex and Evie came from Adopt-a-Pet Illinois, a fantastic "animal shelter without walls." This means it's all run through volunteer foster caretakers. I am forever indebted to Julie, their foster mom, for keeping them safe until I found them
