Our Pets

These are our "babies". Each one came to our door and refused to leave. It is true when you hear the old saying, "You don't choose cats, they choose you".

Mister is the only male. He was a neighbors cat who decided that our home was where he belonged. He's a playful and loving cat but sometimes forgets he has claws when he playfully swats at your ankle. He loves the outdoors but hates the cold. He doesn't like being alone.

Sarah was another neighbor's cat who moved in last winter. She had a litter of kittens in April. Our neighbor then claimed her and took her and the kittens home but she wanted to live with us. So, a few days later, she brought her entire litter of kittens onto our deck. We found homes for them once they were old enough. Our neighbor gave her away to an old farmer a week before my birthday in August. The day before my birthday, Sarah appeared on our deck. She was the best birthday present I've ever recieved. She's a mother to all the others and is very gentle and loving.

Abby was only six months old when she came to our door on Halloween Eve in 2006. We lived in another town then. I remember the night well. It was dark and snow had just began to fall when I heard the cry of a kitten outside. I opened the door and saw this tiny kitten looking up at me from the driveway. I called to her and she came right inside. She was quite a character and she moved into not only our home, but into our hearts as well.

Gracie was another stray that came to our door last year. She not only moved in, but brought four beautiful kittens with her as well. One by one she brought them from under our house, onto the deck. I found a box and an extra blanket for them and they all stayed inside until they were old enough to be given away.

So now all have been spayed and neutered except for Sarah. She will see the vet sometime soon this year.
