This past Tuesday (9/15/2009) was the 1oth anniversary of the day on which we let Tabby go. My wife and I left early this morning to make the 60 mile drive to the cemetery where he, along with three of our other personal cats, are buried.

Longtime, big-hearted Tabby’s Place volunteer Larry has begun a habit of putting his thoughts and feelings about the cats into words. Special thanks go to Larry for letting us share his musings with the wider Tabby’s Place family.

OK, I’m jumping the gun a tad, but the happy reunion will feel so good. They were the ultimate true loves, the George and Gracie, the Chandler and Monica, the Archie and Edith, of Tabby’s Place. And, in a few short weeks, Patch and Ginger will be back together…forever.
With a staff member (Karina), volunteer (Lorraine) and many friends from the UK, it’s safe to say that we Tabby’s Place folk are Anglophiles. One of our favorite London friends, John, is back with a new cat-report from London’s Royal Patriotic Victoria Building, and today he’s introducing us to two of his most charming neighbors. […]
