Furballs...Fuzzy Kittens

Hi, this page contains some very interesting and emotional stories
and photos about the lives of the many pets and many stray animals I have had
over the last 25 years. There's some good advice too, from experience..enjoy


My friends' litter of kittens..kittens have a difficult time
regulating their body heat until about 6 weeks old
so if taken from their mother early must have a heat source
a pet store took these in..don't give up..and drop off
there are always homes from kittens to be found

We named this stray: China, because she was as delicate
as fine china and had slanty eyes..she found a good home
If you don't plan to find good homes for kittens, get your cat spayed
Kittens feel, pain, hunger, and sadness..they are living creatures, not throw-aways

This is Paws. He was born with an extra toe on each front paw.Sometimes
this can cause problems and must be removed..but not always
an unusual kitten, born from a stray that was pregnant when we found her
Paws and Mama now has a happy home

Oreo, grown adult cat..and O.J. (Oreo Junior)..
Funny how cats can come in "carbon copies"!
We kept them both, Oreo is still with us at age 20.
And that's in human years..she still is doing very well

A close up of O.J., the litter was found under a pile
of spare tires, siblings all found nice homes
Kittens are naturally curious and will get into life threatening
situations, so kitten proof your home, just as you would child proof
one for a toddler. OJ took a liking to Pooh Bear..like I said OJ was
weird, since when does a Cocker Spaniel look like a cat?

This is Junior. She was very small and lonely,and a big baby.
She cried "meuwed" allot..to keep her company we gave
her a stuffed "pound purry" for a friend..she later grew up
to be one of the toughest cats you ever met, still with us at a Fysty age 8

Another shot at O.J. He was so cute. Had a personality
allot like that of the "ragdoll" cat breed, OJ just loved to be
hugged and cuddled and didn't fuss a bit about it

This is Kelly. A poor drop off. Sickly and skinny she was.
She has a comfy new home. Kittens are Not equipped to lived alone
"in the wild" and don't have a fighting chance when they are strays.

Meet Shilo. Neighborhood children witnessed her, being tossed out
a car window and landing on her head. Unfortunately the children didn't know to get
a license number. Shilo's head wound has since healed and has been adopted.


When Fogy came to us, we thought he was blind..because he walked in circles
We later found out from the vet..that he was an extremely old cat, who had no
teeth, bad cataracts, was senile and had suffered from a high fever from a bad
cold that he had caught, after we found him staggering around all covered in mud
on a rainy cold day: he was an "old Fogy" who later found his real home, from where
he had wandered away from. Be very protective over your Older Cat..they too can suffer
from arthritis, cataracts and memory loss, as well being susceptible to phenomena

the many stray puppies and dogs that were also a part of our family
