We’re fast approaching a year since the Dessert Kids began their journey to a sweeter life. It was March of 2009 when Twinkie, Cupcake, Strudel and Trifle – and 89 of their closest friends – were rescued from the million-dollar home with four-foot high drifts of waste.

Saying goodbye to a cat never feels right. But sometimes it feels distinctly unfair. So it was with Cleo.
It’s always with fear and trembling that we dare to move a new cat into the realm of Her Highness, Pepper.

No one adored Ana more deeply and faithfully than Sharon (Jonathan’s wife, our Volunteer Coordinator).
