Good goodbyes
I love to post about adoptions. Except when I sort of don’t. Let me explain.

Jasmine: The “Black-and-White Widow” no more
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 […]
The Unhuggables
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 […]
No news is good news in Gradyville
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 […]
In Memorial: Ringo
I have known & loved many, many cats in my life. Each is wonderful in his or her own way. But Ringo was one of the most magnificent and well-loved cats it has been my privilege to know and care for. Ringo was loved by all who met him but was not seriously considered for […]
A Very Happy Donny Update :-)
Remember Donny, the adorable orange kitten who had orthopedic surgery for a severely luxated patella in his left leg? [[Donny is Doing Great|Last time we posted about Donny]] he had just started 3 months of complete cage rest. Now, 3 months in a cage is a long time for any cat, but for a kitten, […]
Keep them kitties rolling: the boys from Islip
It never fails to tickle me when two cats choose each other as “best friends forever.” No matter how many times I’ve seen a duo develop a bond, or a kindle of cats cuddled in a heap, the phenomenon of “cats who love cats” is always a source of delight to me. So, naturally, I’m doubly […]
Help: There’s a Cat Trapped in my Phone!
I don’t own an iPhone so I can’t vouch for this app, but it does look pretty cool for you (er, us) crazy cat people. It’s a virtual cat for your iPhone. You remember the “virtual pet” craze from a few years ago? Well, this is the same thing in a new package.
For (Sweet) Pete’s sake
I’m with T.S. Eliot on the topic of cat names: each feline deserves no less than three, and one of those can be known only to the cat himself. 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. […]
