Pop quiz: what’s the one thing better than an awesome, amazing, extraordinary adoption? A stellar update on those astonishing adoptees. And, I’m elated to share, that’s precisely what we received from Mrs. AwesomeAdopter this week. It seems those beloved BFFs, Pirate and Midnight, have taken “happiness” to new heights in the AwesomeAdopter home. Feast your hearts […]
Funny thing about a really good dessert. You can savor it every single day and never, ever get sick of it. I remember once reading about a spectacularly-old dude who had eaten one Twinkie every day since his 20s, and credited them for his long and peaceful life. As much as his Twinkies may have […]
Some cats cause predictions to fall out of our mouths the minute they arrive at Tabby’s Place. “He’s not going to be here very long at all.” “This little girl is probably going to get adopted right out of Quarantine.” But the funny thing about predictions is, they can be profoundly wrong.

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. But in the case of Aro, Renata and McKenna, what’s less understood is exactly where they’ve appeared from. In fact, I’m inclined to wonder if they’ve sprung, blossom-like, from the hardiest roadside wildflowers. Or, perhaps, from the proverbial […]
