Followed by a little playtime…

And an interrupted rainy day nap.

These are the “Dance Kittens”: Oranges Charleston and Tango. The torti is Flamenco and the tabby is Cha Cha.

When I met this 9 month old, playful, gorgeous furball, I didn’t think she’d be at the shelter long.
Good news! Yoshi was off to her new family before I even got around to putting her picture up.

This is Calypso. She’s a lovely young cat still waiting for a new home.

Ease stress, ameliorate depression, pet a cat and lower your blood pressure!
According to some studies, these are the side effects of living with a pet.

Beautiful 6 month old Luisa will bring a lot of health and happiness to some lucky family.
Update: It’s not surprising that the lovely Luisa has been adopted.

One year ago he was living in a wooded area along a busy road with his Mother and siblings. Volunteers set traps to rescue the family, spay or neuter them, and get them to safety. Fortunately the stinky sardines in the trap proved irresistible to this little kitten.

There was no room for him at the shelter, so we agreed to foster him in our home. Mickey was 11 weeks old and only 2.2 pounds, small and badly undernourished.

My husband and I couldn’t part with him when it was time to bring him to the shelter (although our cat Gracie would have been OK with it). We adopted Mickey Mouser and now, one year later, we are a happy three cat household.
