Surprisingly sturdy China
“China Doll” is one of our many pet names for the calico diva of the Community Room. But, this week, China reminded us that she is anything but fragile.
Albert Schweitzer’s prayer for animals
Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a French-German theologian, physician, philosopher and musician – and, in my opinion, a uniquely loving human being. One of our volunteers was kind enough to share the following with me, and I was deeply moved by Schweitzer’s words https://slotsonlinecanada.ca/. I hope you are, too.
Thoughts from Larry: The Gift
Longtime, big-hearted Tabby’s Place volunteer Larry has begun a habit of putting his thoughts and feelings about the cats into words. Special thanks go to Larry for letting us share his musings with the wider Tabby’s Place family.
Experimenting with spices
You know how it goes: you’re trying out a new recipe, and it includes a spice you’ve never tried – something weird, like fenugreek or chicory. You throw a pinch in, hesitantly.

If there’s got to be an aggressive cat in a suite of 15, it helps if he also happens to also be the toothless one. Despite being dentally challenged, Desi has been causing quite a stir in Suite C the last couple of weeks.

Tiny Tony lookalike Gumbo went through so many false alarms before finding his forever family. But, as you can see in this e-mail, Gumbo’s new life of love was every bit worth the wait. Special thanks to Gumbo’s new mom, Stephanie, for letting me share her words with you.
Reunited and it feels so good
OK, I’m jumping the gun a tad, but the happy reunion will feel so good. They were the ultimate true loves, the George and Gracie, the Chandler and Monica, the Archie and Edith, of Tabby’s Place. And, in a few short weeks, Patch and Ginger will be back together…forever.
Torts and torties
A little over a week ago, I had the opportunity to attend the sixth annual Pennsylvania Bar Institute Animal Law Conference in Philadelphia. That means that lawyers all over the Keystone State are devoting their time, gifts and love to thinking about and working for needy animals. Heaven knows the cats (and dogs, and eared […]
Outpost from across the pond #2: Miss B & Henry
With a staff member (Karina), volunteer (Lorraine) and many friends from the UK, it’s safe to say that we Tabby’s Place folk are Anglophiles. One of our favorite London friends, John, is back with a new cat-report from London’s Royal Patriotic Victoria Building, and today he’s introducing us to two of his most charming neighbors. […]
Forever changed: a volunteer’s promise
One of the blessings of life with the cats is loving the people who love them. Holly is one such gem.
