How about Florida the Tortie?

As you know, we have sister torties available for adoption (born April 6) that we've been calling Georgia - from "Curious George" and because we hadn't come up with a name for her sister, Non-Georgia. Bob suggested calling Non-Georgia, Florida.  So at least tentatively, this is is dear Florida. She loves people, by the way. And if you adopt her you can give her any name you want.

Feral Kittens Play

Feral kittens - new arrivals - have a fun game in an odd location. An anonymous feral mom brought them from their safe hiding place to the open air: and right next to the car's tire. An intentional act, I think... a gift, even. Not a gift to us; it is a gift to them.

Tortie Kittens Need Love, Too !

All made-up, colorful and pretty ..and no place to go! Aww.  Georgia, the four month old Tortie kitten seems like she's looking for love. She and her sister, Non-Georgia, are a pair of friendly, smart, and charming tortie kittens that were rescued.

Non-Georgia (above) and her sister are the cutest things to me! I love them and I think torties in general are adorable. But for some reason they can be hard to adopt out. Which is sad.  Personally, I think they are wonderful; they have that special tortie-attitude that is unique to this coloration. I want to have them for my own but I'm already maxed-out on cats. And they deserve some love.

Georgia and Non-Georgia aren't really box trained but you can work with them; they are very smart. They need a loving, safe home. I'd work with whomever adopted them for shots and spaying as they get old enough. I just want them to be well-cared for. 

I hope someone will save them! Our rescued tortie from last year was not adopted and became a victim of coyote predation before the summer was over. I still haven't recovered from that one and I don't need more things to cry over.

Wouldn't you like to save this little face?

Anyone can use the contact links to get hold of me here - or on Facebook or Twitter. Maybe these torties can be spared the fate of last year's rescued tortie kitten.

Oh Punk

It is the Summer of Punk, the oldest feral tom cat in the colony. Do not let his looks fool you: You might think that he's the meanest cat in the colony too but Punk is actually a sweet little scaredy cat. He's the kind of guy who would have been someone's adorable lap kitty with just a little luck, but things didn't go that way for him.

I'm not sure how old Punk is, really but I might guess that he's anywhere from seven to ten years old, which is almost miraculous for a feral cat. He's been hanging out closer to the people, lately; perhaps he's just gotten tired of the feral life.

The Fran of Summer

Just an ipad photo of Fran. Summer has finally arrived and I am doing more outdoor stuff, such as a little cycling to take some weight off.

In other news, we had an adoption today! A little Siamese kitten was abandoned yesterday, and today our postal carrier lady asked for it. Now if only someone would take our little tortie kittens.

Widget the Cat Questions My Intentions

Widget the Cat seems to be wondering what I'm up to, perhaps curious or is that a look of disdain? We'll never know, I guess.

Feral Kittens, Cats, and Toys

A little play experiment with cat toys and feral cats... I tossed out a couple of cat toys in the yard to see what would happen.

Fran is the first to move in. Okay, technically she isn't a feral cat but a rescued as yet unadopted kitty. But she loves these toys. Soon she has help.

"Little Tabby," definitely a feral, moves in to help Fran with the fun. These toys were provided by Patti "Mewmart" Arnold of Etsy Catcalls - thank you.  ...Eventually we moved to a porch to continue the action. Remember the sickly-looking feral kitten from the July 28 post (post before last)?

August Desktop Wallpaper Calender - TV

TV Cat was named by my daughter - for looking like a cat you'd see in a pet food commercial on television.

The photo wallpaper above is in a new, larger size and is for wide screens. A standard 4:3 version is below:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FREE WALLPAPER: Click on the image of your choice to see the full size version, then right-click on it (one-button Macs, use CONTROL-Click) - - in most browsers you can set it as your desktop wallpaper from there by selecting "Set as Desktop Background". - This also saves the image to your computer.

These images should work with pretty much any desktop - they can easily be stretched or squished to fit your needs.
If you have any problems or issues - or tips/suggestions - just let me know in the comments.
