Whenever one of us would say Zatarain‘s name “normally,” the same way you might say “river” or “house,” Denise would gently correct us by saying it the right way: “Zaaaaa-ta-raaaain!” Yes, this little cutie is named for the rice, ”a New Orleans tradition since 1889.” Since being born 120 years after his namesake rice, Zatarain has […]
In case the written word doesn’t quite capture my tone, my use of the word unadoptable is entirely ironic. Except for the fact that, so far, it’s been weirdly accurate for one of the most outrageously “adoptable” kittens I’ve ever seen.
It’s a blanket! It’s a cat bed! It’s…Ella? The tiny tortie who loves the subterranean (or at least sub-blanket) life has been uncovered at last, and forever.

If Anise (The Spice) and Drake (The Duck) have their way, they will be an international sensation before the end of the summer. […]
I don’t use the word big lightly with Vinny. This is a cat who doesn’t do anything in a small way…and finding his forever home was no exception.

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 […]
…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 […]
Singing the songs of kitty glee? It is the music of the kitties who, today, are Brandy-free. With apologies to Les Miserables for that musical interlude, it’s easy to imagine that you can hear the happy songs of the Suite B cats from oceans away today. It’s all thanks to one elegant tabby, or, rather, […]
