Unsure what Feline Leukemia is?

This link will tell you eveything you need to know about Feline Leukemia.

Keep in mind....if YOUR cat is tested positive for feline leukemia, there are feline leukemia postive rescues for your cat if you cannot care for it due to other cats.

Ferals and Visits

So yesterday I got to visit a home with 19 cats and 5 ferrets. It was awesome! You would never guess that they had all those animals. They took a few plastic tub and cut a hole in it and used it for a litter box. Very smart idea! The ferrets were adorable too! Many of the cats hey now have were products of abandoned mother and litter and they took them ALL in. Amazing. I am so glad there are responsible people out there that will be responsible and caring when no one else will.

I am taking on a new project: taking in ferals to work with them. I'm trying to save a few by making them adoptable. It's frustrating to see such a wild overpopulation problem in our county. This friday we are having a meeting to address the feral community problem. I hope it all works out!

I'm back Cat Lovers!!!

Sorry for the long absence! Work has been CRAZY! Basically, Spring is our big months where we get litters and litters of kittens everyday. This has been a great week at my job. We got all but 10 dogs out to rescue groups in the Bay area AND many many cats. It's has been wonderful. In my absence I received a 17 year old cat, a Seal Point Siamese Mix. He was the best cat I've ever had. I thought he had a few years left in him (I couldn't bear to think of him spending his last days at the shelter) but unfortunately he had a bad seizure a month and a half in and lost contol of his legs. So we put him down. He was an incredible cat. We named him Leonidas.




Keep in mind people, if you live in Lake County, CA we have an over abundance of pitties in this county. If you have it in your heart to adopt one of the sweeties, we always have them at our shelter!!

I apologize....

Cat Breeds

Here are a list of some of the common and less common breeds. I won't include ALL of them since there are alot. I hope you enjoy. I'm doing A and B's this time around.

Abysinnian:

American bobtail

American curl

Balinese

Bengal

5 weeks

Well the babies are five weeks old now and wearing me out! They are continuing to play, chase, and run around all over. They are playing with nothing in particular or each other and it's a treasure to watch. Most of them are up to a pound, worms included. I can't de-worm these poor things until they are at least 6 weeks. They are all belly. They are getting bigger though so they are healthy. I will put up pictures as soon as I can
