| Below are the rescues and pets that have come into my life, and found a forever home with me! more photos |
| On top is Gato. He is a 12.5 year old Pixiebob that I rescued from the outdoor pen of a breeder that had gone out of business. He was still a whole male at 10 years of age and had never lived inside. He was the foundation cat for the Pixiebob breed and was left outside and forgotten after he was no longer needed. I brought him back to health and back into the show ring. This year he will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from The International Cat Association. He is retiring in 2008 due to Chronic Renal Failure. |
| This is Rambo. He was rescued by MEOW from a home in Auburn. The boyfriend of the house had become so enraged that he started shooting his girlfriends cats. The police escorted me in and I found Rambo, then 1 year old and unneutered, cowering under a bed. MEOW neutered him and I found him a barn. But when it came to leaving him in the barn, I just could not do it. I brought him home and he became tame. I tried to find him a home, but he decided that he could not be happy in a home without me in it, so I took him back, and he will live with me forever. |
| This is Apollo. He is the love of my life. He is the caretaker of my foster kittens, the visitor greeter, the cat that loves everyone. I picked Apollo off the PAWS Kill List. For anyone who thinks that PAWS is a no kill shelter THINK AGAIN! Apollo was set to be euthanized because he was feral. Three months with me and he became the sweetest, tame boy. He will live here forever. |
| This is Airplane Andy. He was rescued by Pam Staehli as a feral adult. Pam had found out about a backyard Manx breeder who threw the kittens outside that he did not think would be continent. Andy was unadoptable so I took him home to be my outdoor feral along with my two others. Pretty soon Andy started letting me pet him. He soon became very easy to handle so I tried to find him a home. Like Rambo, Andy could not be happy in a home without me, so he has come back to live with me forever. He is my bed buddy. I can pull him into my arms like a baby when I go to bed and I fall alsleep to his purrs. |
| This is Seamus. Seamus is my most successful show cat to date. He is a regional winner in both CFA and TICA. He is a Supreme Grand Champion Alter in TICA and a Grand Premier in CFA. He is also an International Winning Alter in TICA. He was the # 1 Manx Alter in TICA last year and #4 in CFA. He has a permanent home here with me for the rest of his sweet life! |
| This is Woden. He has been through 5 homes. He originated in New York. He is declawed on all 4 feet so he is a bit insecure. Because he was declawed at an early age, he urinates innapropriately because he has associated the litterbox with pain. This is a HUGE example of why you should NEVER declaw your cat. Woden has his own room where he can pee on whatever wall he wants to. He has a home with me forever. |
