One of my favorite things about Tabby’s Place is the way the cats bring a parade of amazing folks through our lives. It’s ever apparent to me that our volunteers, adopters, visitors and assorted friends, buddies and pals are some of the most generous, compassionate, loving and deep-down-good people on the planet. With the recent adoption of […]
Marshmallow was a no-brainer. Wendy and the babies will surely get scooped up quickly. And even timid Rumor‘s adoption wasn’t too much of a surprise. But what about the “unhuggables” – the cats who are so angry, petrified or just plain kooky that potential adopters can’t even touch them? As you might expect, we have […]
First of all, my apologies on not posting about our beloved boy sooner. I think I have the happiest possible excuse: there has been a wonderful absence of medical news for Grady! But, I’m always happy to talk about the tabby boy I adore, so when folks in the Felis Catus community started clamoring for […]

For day-to-day use, every cat needs a “sensible everyday name,” and, at Tabby’s Place, that generally means the name that she came with from her shelter of origin. […]
Far be it from me to suggest that our cats like to gossip…in fact, I can say with great confidence that there’s at least one Rumor definitely not going around Tabby’s Place. Not anymore, at least.
What I’d like to do right about now is give Grady‘s oncologist a big hug. Yes, the news is that hopeful. On second thought, I think I’ll hug Grady himself instead. Based on this morning’s oncology consult, we may be able to look forward to years of hugging Grady!
That’s been just about every volunteer’s reaction to looking at our Community Room board this week.
I am delighted to report that our snuggle-bunny Grady is home at Tabby’s Place, and made it through his surgery with flying colors – or, better yet, flying tabby stripes.
