Where do I begin…first my dog Benny. I found him abandoned at a bed and breakfast at 3 mos old. Of course he came home with me. He is now 11.

Next is Buddy who was a stray that was my TNR but is now a happy house cat living the good life.

Jimmy is my new baby at 9 months old. He and his mama and four other siblings were rescued right after birth Aug 9. 2023.

Mama is in picture 6. She’s still a bit feral, but I’m working on becoming friends. She’s safe and spayed and living indoors.

The fat boys, Sylvester and PJ in pic 4&5 are inseparable. They have a house in my backyard, have been TNR, and are my two outdoor cats who spend their days on my lawn chairs sunny themselves and eating nonstop.

Pic 7&8 are my seniors to whom I had to say goodbye these past two years. Bootsie found as a kitten by my sister, Bo I found at my dance studio and brought home and Puffy my neighborhood TNR that I rehomed but traveled over 10 miles to come back home. I miss them dearly.

Pic 9&10 are Jimmy’s siblings , Rosie and Lilly. They did not find a home so are now adopted by my daughter while Mama and Jimmy adopted by me. (Their brother Leo and sister Petunia were adopted by friend and a coworker.)

Sunshine pic 11 was another neighborhood stray who was already fixed and chipped out of California, but we never found her owner. She lived with me for awhile but is now with my daughter who also has Ralphie pic 12. My daughter adopted him from the shelter.

I consider them all my critters since my daughter and I both take care of her crew. I regularly stop by to feed them and love on them, help with vet trips, etc.

They are all very much loved!!
