Happy Tails: Boss

Boss! What a great cat. We wanted to adopt an older cat, and when we saw a big orange boy with a mustache, it just clicked! He is unbelievably sweet, and his new canine sister, Pepper, loves him (sometimes a little too intensely). Her feline sister, Dandelion, needs a little…

Happy Tails: Angel and Pirate

It’s been 4 months since we brought Pirate and Angel home and we thought we would send some pictures to show how they are doing. It took a couple of months, but once we found them snuggling and sleeping together – they seem to snuggle together more and more. This…

Happy Tails: Maud and Freddie

In 2019, my 19 year old cat and my 13 year old dog crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. These were hard losses; they were my bed partners, and that left me with one baby, CindyKitty. She was a feral cat about a year old which I had trapped, spayed, “vetted”,…
