| FOSTER HOMES NEEDED | 5 Jul 08 - Since we don't have a shelter and depend only on foster homes, we cannot take in any more cats at present. To properly care for those currently under our wing we must focus on them as our priority. We have many young cats not on the website as they are too shy for adoption. Please foster one of these sweet cats who need a little time and patience. This will allow us to rescue more cats! |

5 Jul 08 - "Milo" is easily adjusting to his new home and is training his "staff" (Jennifer and Mike) to meet his every need! He loves being the only cat and king of the castle! |
| AT CAPACITY | 4 Jul 08 - We're at capacity with a large number of cats and kittens in our care. Due to the high cost of food and medical care, we would appreciate any donations our website followers may be able to send. (See address under "Contact Us".) A $25 donation provides food and litter for one cat for a month and we will send a tax receipt! Thanks for doing whatever you can. |
