Belka came as part of a three pack from the shelter. Free barn cats. We were just starting our homestead and we had a problem with field mice, cotton rats and voles because of the 34 acres of habitat surrounding our one acre.
Wer in Schweden eine Katze hat, trรคgt mehr Verantwortung als anderswo. Ein Gesetz regelt, wie viel Zeit Halter mit ihrer Samtpfote verbringen sollten.
Reagan was part of a litter someone had rescued. They couldnโt keep them due to a landlord dispute. I brought them in. Two cats took a trip on the kitten railroad to adoption.
Jackie and her sister were two feral kittens that were so feral the animal shelter didnโt even know their sex when they called and said โPiller. We have two extra spicy for you at your convenience.โ
She loves boxes more than any of our other cats. When a package arrives she gets upset if it is not opened and emptied for her pleasure. She will force herself into a far too small box.
Cece showed up as a cat that had been through multiple fosters. The idea was he would come here and weโd pair him up with another cat that was never getting better and not being adoptable. The two of them could be partners as barn cats. Many months later he is completely domesticated and not going anywhere. He is now very vocal about making sure he gets his share of kitchen scraps when Iโm cooking. He is very partial to raw chicken and pork but will not turn down some cheddar.
He was only mildly spicy. But he had a bad habit of trying to run the moment you let him go. After two weeks he was just chill enough to go back to the shelter for adoption.
After an extended stay with us until we could find a place that takes FIV+ cats he went on the kitten railroad to New York. He was adopted within a week after arriving.
Almost a decade ago he came home with me from the shelter, and yesterday I had to say goodbye for the last time. But he had so much personality that Iโll never forget him.
