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.

At Christmas, friends gave me a basket filled with gourmet treats.
I unpacked it on my kitchen island, and before I could decide where to put it, the cats staked a claim.
Morning Shift: Baby Mickey has a rainbow on his face from a crystal in the window.

Any Time Food Is Prepared Shift: Tommie loves to keep us company.

Night Shift: Here’s Gracie!

They love this basket. My question is, why do they avoid the lovely new cat bed I purchased for them?

At 14, Bayley is one of the oldest cats at at the shelter. She’s a very sweet senior citizen who craves affection. It must have been difficult for her family to leave her at the shelter (I hope).

And here’s 11 week old Jordin, one of 4 American Idol kittens. Her stay at the shelter was very brief. The kittens have all been adopted.

Wonderful names! This is an image of the Orion and Carina constellations.

And this is beautiful 4 year old Orion.

Carina is 6 years old. These sweet cats came to the shelter together last August. Read about them HERE.

Imagine that you are 60 years old. Your family decides that they can’t keep you around any more and drops you off at a shelter…
That’s Carrie’s situation. She’s 11 years old. Is she bitter or angry? No. She’s one of the most affectionate cats at the shelter.

There’s a handy conversion chart here- how old is your cat?
UPDATE: Carrie has a new home!

This is 6 month old Larisa who is at the shelter with her mom, Margarita.
I’ve been reading about cat markings, and she would be considered a patched tabby, maybe.
Tortie-tabby, torbie, caliby, dilute whatever… she’s a very cute cat!
You can read about markings here and get more confused too.

Catnap interrupted!
These two shy girls came to the shelter separately, but I sure hope they leave together.

He is such a busy little cat- sometimes it seems like he’s everywhere at once.
But I have to admit that I had some fun using Photoshop in this photograph.
Oreo has been adopted!eC7
