This is a special-needs house for cats at Best Friends in Utah. I've donated to it for years, and I have a standing invitation to visit there, but we never have made it, yet.

What a great place! That video had me crying. It's great to see people loving critters that others might see as dispensable.
Every cat deserves to be in a loving fur-ever home!

Many years ago (almost 20!), I worked for the Time Warner Pet Forum on CompuServe. That forum was a for-profit forum whose profits went to support Best Friends. As CompuServe was wound down, that forum was closed.

There is a book about Best Friends in which I am mentioned.

Thank you for sharing that!

It brought tears...the kitty that only had two legs climbing...that was so nice to see a place where he/she could thrive.

What a great video! I'd take that tortie they show at the beginning! What a cutie!

Oh good grief.....it isn't 8 am and I am already in tears.

That does my heart good to see the wonderful people who dedicate so much to those beautiful cats. And how they get around even with all their problems.

Thanks for showing us that. You sure have a great heart, Mike!
