The following events take place between 10:30 am Saturday and 1:30 pm Tuesday. Consider this the Tabby’s Place version of an episode of 24…except, instead of Kiefer Sutherland and civilization-threatening threats, it’s 100 cats and a really epic power outage.
We are fast approaching the day of tricks, treats, and random neighbors dressed up as Freddy Kreuger or – even more terrifying – Charlie Sheen. So it’s only fitting that we should have a special treat here today. But this guest post, from exceptional volunteer Ayla, is no ordinary treat. In Halloween terms, this post […]
There are no sub-spectacular cats at Tabby’s Place – or anywhere else. But even among a species of stars, Cali stood apart. We’ve loved and lost one of the great ones.

You could say the humans at Tabby’s Place are bleeding hearts. You wouldn’t be the first. Bleeding hearts, softies, marshmallows – those titles are all true. There’s no use denying such things when you’re the kind of kooky humans who experience empathy for pillows.
People collect all sorts of things. Thimbles. Baseball cards. Statues of Frodo Baggins. Dust. Vintage hats. Vintage cats.
Catoberfest is tomorrow. If your epic love of the Tabby’s Place cats is somehow not enough reason to get you here, consider this a PSA to make you reconsider.
