Ruthless and toothless
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.
Gumbo’s new groove: update
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.

Itty, Bitty Bottle Kitty
Raising new born kittens could be the most challenging and time consuming task I have ever attempted. It is also one of the most intensely rewarding and most heartbreaking experiences of my life.
Love deeper than sorrow
When people ask me why I’m so in love with my job at Tabby’s Place, I tell them the truth: I get to love cats and love people all day. In the course of all that love, sometimes someone puts things into words in such a way that the Big Truths about what we do […]
Large and in charge: the new, “expanded” Suite A
An oft-heard comment among visitors to Tabby’s Place is, “Your cats are so big!” Is it the Ringoes, NJ water? Are cats like koi, growing to fill their space, so that cage-free living means enormous cats? Honestly, our cats don’t look unusually large to me…well, except for a certain contingent. Some call these guys the fat […]
