Hi Everyone!

My name is Rachel and I am a new poster to the boards. I have read so much in the last week and everyone seems to be really nice and helpful. It is such a relief to go on a message board where people treat each other's opinions with respect!

I share my humble home with two ferrets, Nicker & Percy Joe, three guinea pigs, Skippy, Betty & Wilma and five of the most precious kitties! Jack is a 9 year-old Tabby, Molly is a 3 1/2 year-old Tuxedo, Harbey an 8 year-old Tuxedo (with one eye), Annie is a 13 year-old Torti and Freddie, a grey short hair. Every one is a former stray. Harbey was our neighbor's cat and they kicked her out!
She arrived at our door pregnant and beaten to a pulp. Her babies were actually dead inside and she was really sick because they were starting to decompose. Her eye was lost due to trauma she suffered on her face. You would never know she was ever neglected - She is so lovable and happy! Jack was also in bad shape. He was about a year old, weighed three pounds, was dirty and scraped up. We nursed him back to health and you will never find a friendlier kitty!!

There is also a feral momma and her two babies that we feed and take care of. The mother's sister also stops by but thier two other siblings sadly passed. We have tried for over a year but they still will not let us get too close.

Of course, as cat lovers my family and I have seen our fair amount of furry family members cross the Rainbow Bridge. You never get over the loss..

Well, sorry for talking your ears off! I gues this is the last time the mentors tell me to introduce myself! LOL
I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing our kitty experiences!

All My Best~
Rachel (bsbkitty)
