It seems like yesterday I was writing our first “end of the year” blog … and here we are again already. The end of the year is always a nice time for reflection. To take stock and, most importantly, count our blessings. Adopters, Volunteers, Board Members, Donors, FaceBook & Twitter friends – we thank you…
I’ve posted before about why PeTA doesn’t deserve your money. And I’ve alluded to why the ASPCA and the HSUS doesn’t deserve your money. And maybe some of you thought, “Oh, Christie, why are you even bothering to write about those big organizations – they must be good if they are that big.” Well, they…
Duncan was originally rescued from deplorable conditions – living outside, born to a frail feral cat who had to fight for every meal.

And practically speaking, wouldn’t you want another fur-ball to use up some of that kitten energy? Otherwise,…
We’ve taken in a lot of kittens this year. Mostly from local shelters. Kandy is one of those that we took in … She arrived at a shelter at just a few days old with her two siblings – their eyes weren’t even open yet. A volunteer bottle fed them for a few days and…
No doubt you’ve heard about the miracle dog Patrick, right? I was going to provide a link to his story but there are too many … you’ll get tons of choices if you do a web search for “patrick miracle dog”. Anyway, long story made short: Patrick was nearly starved to death, thrown in a…
So, I haven’t posted a “real” blog entry in a long while … to be honest, blogging is not something I enjoy doing. I prefer FaceBook posts and even Twittering/Tweeting … it’s faster and I just feel more connected that way. But, I’ve got something to say and it’s going to take a lot more…
What do you do when you realize there is a momma cat and five babies living under a wood pile in the early spring Jersey weather? … you bring them into your garage and then into your home … Karma with her babies, the Meepers: The Yin and Yang of the Meepers (the calico, Mimi,…
