Percy

Percy was born in New Orleans! He was rescued from birth and a part of a program in Marin County that helps find kitties homes (The Pet Cottage in San Anselmo works w/ New Orleans, great people!). We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He loves to play on the deck in the rain and sun. A big hugger, he wakes his human up each day with purrs and hugs. When we brought him home, he said “wow, wow” the whole way! And, we say “wow, Percy, you rock! And, we love you so much!”

Runner-Ups

JJ

JJ was a shelter kitty before she came to live with us. We went to the shelter to donate something sent to us by mistake, and while my husband filled out the paperwork, I went into the “kitten room” to play with the kitties. As I bent over to pet one, a striped ball went shooting straight up into the air and landed on my shoulder, purring madly! It was love at first sight. In the beginning, she only took over our hearts, but as you can see in this photo, she’s out to conquer the world, now!

Pumpkin

Pumpkin is full of life and has a personality like no other. She is almost 1 and 1/2 and we adopted her from a shelter when she was just 3 months old and she has been our pride and joy ever since. She does many unique things such as: walks on her back legs, she jumps and leaps up to 5 feet in the air while playing, she loves to eat turkey, she rolls and lays on all our clean laundry, she also loves to play in empty boxes and most of all, she Loves her parents! As soon as we walk towards the door coming home, we can hear her crying for us to come in, and she always greets us at the door. She is definitely a wonderful little creature and we love her dearly.

Linus and Hugo

This picture is of Hugo and Linus on their first birthday (August 18). We are certain of Hugo’s birthday. When we adopted Linus the shelter had marked his age the same as Hugo’s, so we decided they could share. For presents, we got them a box of straws and a paper bag. Linus isn’t a very bright cat, but he hunts straws with an intense focus unknown to most. Hugo invents new bag-based games all the time. They seemed to think it was the best day of their lives.

Baby Kitty

Baby Kitty is 6 years old. I found him in the parking lot of a car dealership when he was like 6 weeks old. He was emaciated and surviving off crickets. He was the saddest thing I have ever seen. I took him home and he has brought great pleasure to my life ever since! PS He likes chips and pizza!
