Hi! I'm a new member here, and wanted to introduce myself and my cats. :)

I have three kitties - Maisie, Zephyr, and Cullen. (They're all boys, despite Maisie's name. ;)) I had a fourth cat, Bentley, who unexpectedly passed away just under a year ago.

In addition to being a cat owner myself, I recently started working full time at the local animal shelter (after several years of volunteering there) and am enjoying it a lot.

These are my furkids:

Maisie is twelve years old. I've had him since he was two.



Zephyr is eleven. I've had him since he was a baby.



This is Cullen. He was probably about five when I adopted him, and we will celebrate his eighth birthday next month. He was a foster failure, so I celebrate his birthday on the date he came to live with me.



Unfortunately, Bentley is no longer with us. He died very suddenly from a freak neurological issue last year. I miss him a lot, and it would feel weird not to list him as one of my cats, so here he is too:



It's nice to meet you all, and I look forward to talking cat stuff with you. :)

So sorry to hear about Bentley :alright:, he sure is a handsome boy :hearthrob:

Your fur kids are lovely and it's great that you are volunteering at the shelter.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any and post them under the appropriate forum and do check out the many informative articles in the Articles section and post more photos of them.

C ya around :wink:

Welcome to TCS! :wave3: Your fur crew are exceptional and I'm sure you will enjoy posting their pics in the Pictures & Videos section. :camera: I'm sure your knowledge and experience working at the shelter will be helpful to other members too. Hope to see you around the forum.

Welcome to TCS! We're glad you're here. :)

I'm so sorry to hear about Bentley. If you're ready, you can post a memorial to him in our crossing the bridge forum. :rbheart:

Welcome! Thanks for volunteering and now working at the shelter. I volunteer and I know that those kitties need attention and care. :catrub:

Sorry for your loss of Bentley. I lost one unexpectedly 18 months ago. I still miss him every day.

Maisie is a male calico! How uniquely sweet! All you cats are lovely!
