Grady Update
Oh, Grady. He’s made us love him since he first arrived, all the way from Virginia. And loving him is what we’ll be doing, with all we’ve got, for as long as we have him with us.
Donny is Doing Great
I should have written this update about Donny’s progress sooner, since it has been well over a week since he came back from surgery ([[Donny is Back from Surgery :-)|see entry]]).
Grady
This is just a quick post to ask you to please keep a good thought for our Grady this week. We sent Grady for chest x-rays on Friday, after several staff and volunteers noticed him coughing.
Israeli Cat Sanctuary
You won’t be surprised to hear that I love my job. Among the many wonderful things I get to do is to hear from fellow cat rescuers. I”m constantly amazed by the number of people who are willing to give so much and expect nothing in return. Just the other day I received email from […]
Abu Dhabi loves Crystal!
Fellow fans of the Saturday morning Garfield cartoon will remember that Garfield was forever attempting to mail Nermal, his obnoxiously cute cousin, to Abu Dhabi.

Hootz!

I have always been fascinated […]
Useful Cats, Part II
Maybe I’m just noticing this now, but useful cats are poppin’ up all over the world. Now the UK moggies are joining the cause. I just stumbled upon this story of Valentine, a talking cat. No big deal, you say, lots of cats “talk.” That was my first thought, also. And, after seeing the video, […]
Cats ARE Useful
I don’t want to get involved in the religious war over whether cats or dogs are “better,” but canine zealots will often point out that besides being great pets, dogs are also “useful,” as many dogs do real work, such as pulling sleds, rescuing people or guarding buildings. Cat lovers have to admit, reluctantly, that, […]
