😭😭

😭😭😭

Well....Agatha (Christie) says Babu can't be the only one to say "Hi!"....so here she is... "Mornin' everyone!"

Babu says it's been a while since I've posted anything about the sanctuary so he wanted to come and say "Hi!"

So...it turns out that Yin and Yang live in our sanctuary, in perfect harmony! Don't believe me? Here’s the proof!
😉

(Renzo looks for Timbi to keep him company; Timbi likes to sleep with his head all “flopped over” I don’t know why; and Renzo even puts his little paw on him!) Yin and Yang!
😄

So very sorry. 😞

Hi! Could you include us? We're not just cats, but mostly...😉😻

Huge difference in just 4 days.
When rescued this baby had a rectal prolapse, eye infection, malnutrition, a swollen paw, fleas and was filthy. Only 4 days later....look at the difference love, a safe roof, medical care and good nutrition makes!! Meet the renewed RENZO!!

Renzo has a LOT to say...Rescued 2 days ago, he had a rectal prolapse, eye infection, a swollen paw, fleas...the first night was crucial...but he passed it with flying colors! Now he talks all the time. And he's adamant that his full name is Renzo LINDO (Renzo Cutie)😄 No it's, buts or ands about it!

Rescued this little one who had a rectal prolapse, eye infection, a swollen leg, fleas, filthy. The vet sent him home with meds and a warning that the night would be critical. This morning he meowed loudly. He wants to live! Still watching closely, but hopeful.
Let me introduce you to RENZO.

We may just have to do that!! Although he always shows up for mealtime! 🙃

Rare photo of the elusive Bubito, a specimen of the genus Disobedientus Camouflagious Felidae, rumored to have taken residence in our sanctuary. Infrequent sightings have been reported. Current whereabouts (in the sanctuary): Unknown. *Bubito was rescued by Girl Scouts. He is healthy and stealthy. 😉

I knew it! It's all a ploy! 😆

Hostage situation - my phone is being held for "catsiderable ransom". Lorenzo is a skillful negotiator. What should I offer??

This baby shows every sign that he was abandoned. Mild-mannered, great on leash. LOVES to be around children, dogs and cats. Goes outside to do his "business". Perfect inside dog. Meet BRUNO, most recent rescue. Hopefully we'll find him a home. But will always wonder how can these pups be abandoned.

Can't wait until you do (and share pics with us!) 😻🥰

Oh well...I didn't need that hand anyway....I have another one.

(Musa wanted to cuddle tonight.)

Trust. There is nothing quite as compelling as being the object of their trust. Nothing quite like knowing that they feel so safe that they want to be near. Oh that I may always be so deserving...that I may never stop being a safe harbor for them.
(*Eleanor rests on my legs.)

Timbi spends much time with noticeable disorientation. Mostly seems as though he's looking for something. Often walks in circles. And, sometimes, he tucks his tail between his legs when the disorientation gets a bit much. I pick him up so we can cuddle. That calms him and he dozes off. My baby...❤️

We have the same expression in Spanish: "Sálvese quien pueda." Not surprising since French and Spanish are both Romance languages and share many etymologies.

So very sorry....All of our sanctuary residents and I send you a huge hug, much strength and love. 💔

Although sad, I'm thankful for the honor of having met the irreplaceable Jane Goodall. I pray & trust that we will have the courage and persistence to carry on her legacy of conservation and respect for this planet, our only home. Thank you Jane for such a magnificent example. Rest in light & peace.

Making biscuits is hard work!
ELEANOR shows off her hard work and talent.
(Eleanor was rescued outside a community movie theater called "The Roosevelt", hence her name.)

These are our Resident Authors: IBSEN (Henrik) and AGATHA (Christie). They are siblings and have been with us for 8 years.

This is "Irmo", one of the long-standing members of the Carport Gang - the neighborhood cats who hang out in our carport. (They are fully vetted.) Irmo is super affectionate. Here, he was giving our enclosed front yard a try. Looks like he liked it, don't you think?

Timbi & Kaila are the oldest in the sanctuary. Timbi (14) walks in circles, needs help to drink water, gets "stuck" in corners and seems "out of it" often. But he loves to eat & cuddling is his favorite thing ever! Kaila (16) has mobility difficulties (being treated) but has never been sassier! 🐶🥰❤️

We had a little vet stint yesterday with Lorenzo. He was NOT happy....But, today he seems a lot better so it had to be done. He's almost back to his full boisterous self.

Timbi had a couple of rough days this week. As you know, Lorenzo (the kitty) takes care of him and generally keeps him company. BUT, this weekend it was Kaila who would simply NOT LEAVE his side. She stayed near him (and even cuddled w/him) the whole time. They've known each other for 12 years.

My little prince, Timbi, sometimes wakes up disoriented. Today, he was also shivering. I wrapped him up and brought him to cuddle with me. His breathing slowed, his shivers stopped, and he slept soundly for an hour or so. I also breathed easier as I said a prayer for his health. My beautiful boy. 🤍

Took a week, but the catio extension is done! Now, the furnishings and decorations for the feline residents.
