As if it weren’t hard enough being itty-bitty, the youngest septet at Tabby’s Place has faced an especially severe indignity. Despite being “deities,” these seven siblings have fallen from grace into (dum-dum-DUM)…ringworm.
Tabby’s Place is far enough from the border that we’re safe from Montezuma’s revenge. We don’t feed the cats purple yam ice cream or pangolin brains. And there’s no need to get immunized against dysentery before visiting Ringoes, NJ. Despite all of this, our newcomers are still prone to the bane of travelers everywhere: tummy troubles.
Whereas: only 9% of cats in Tabby’s Place history have been tortoiseshells. Whereas: we are presently graced with no fewer than six torties. Resolved: this is cause for massive celebration.
At Tabby’s Place, it’s known that even when “kitten season” is considered over, kittens will continue appearing.

Merry Christmas, beloved Felis Catus community. It’s my deepest prayer that, today, each of you would feel the full force of God’s huge love for you. I believe with all my heart that the cats, and their love, are a glorious reflection of that very love that is their Source. And, in the Christmas spirit, they […]
For every cat adorer, there’s that one cat who started it all. This December we had to say a gut-wrenching goodbye to one of the great ones. There are no words for how much I miss this little pixie of a cat, and I am far from alone. As Erin was the cat who started his […]
