Shortly after Tabby’s Place opened, I acquired my first officemate. Slide was an old one-eyed cat who did not do well with other felines. He thrived in my office and was adopted eventually. Since then, I have not been without an officemate for more than a few days at a time. In fact, since Sinbad […]
This was one of those grab-me-by-the-heart, must-share-immediately stories. I’m a firm believer that cats can teach us a lot about loving each other well, and this true tale expands upon that in a most amazing way.
Such was the conversation between two of our newest residents: tiny Numi and elegant mama Chai. To clarify, mama Chai is not Numi’s mama – a point which would become increasingly clear over the few hours they spent together.
In a recent [[The itsy bitsy Bitsy|post]], Angela commented about Bitsy, contender for the world’s smallest cat. Angela voiced concern that Bitsy was being exploited for the benefit of her human owners. Well turnabout is fair play. There is now a cat t0uting that he has the world’s smallest human.
So you make it out of a high-kill shelter in the company of a uniquely spectacular clique of cats. One by one, each of your buddies is adopted, and you keep waiting, wondering…can a lovable, marshmallow-y, lumpy older boy find love? Oh, Rickie, you needn’t have worried. Your forever home was mean to be long before […]
So you’ve made it out of a high-kill shelter and into Tabby’s Place: awesome! But now it’s been over five years, and you’ve seen the cast of characters in your suite change, again and again and again. This business of being the cat with the longest-ever continuous stay at Tabby’s Place is getting old. Tabby’s […]
From titanic Paprika to teensy Chalupa, we like our cats in all shapes, sizes and colors at Tabby’s Place. But, there’s something about the teensy-weensy ones that just seems to tug at our visitors’ hearts. It’s nothing new that pocket-sized felines, whether kittens or just little sprites like Erin, seem to get the lion’s share of the […]
News flash from Gradyville: our beloved boy is now off all medications! If we thought Grady was a happy soul before, the tabby love-bug of the lobby has redefined “happy” for us now. The very day that Grady’s hated meds stopped, he was giddier than a 4-year-old at Disney Land.
…Mary has been adopted, after less than 4 months at Tabby’s Place. Now, if ever we thought a cat could be “unadoptable,” Bagheera and his adopter smashed that prejudice last summer. But, by most estimations, wide-eyed Mary came close. Even this sweet pea’s original rescuer predicted, and I quote, “Mary will be a ‘lifer’ at […]
There’s happy news at Tabby’s Place this week: the four sweethearts rescued from the hoarding situation in Chester (the Dessert Kids, Twinkie, Cupcake, Strudel and Trifle) are out of quarantine and in a suite of their own. Now begins the slow, patient work of helping them to learn that humans can love them well, and […]
