Eau d'Rotten Eggs

Can you smell that smell? Pyew! Looks like the kittens who had ringworm got their lime/sulfer bath. I can't wait until someone opens some doors so the shelter can air out.

It's been another great week of being pet and nibbling on treats. Love those treats. I also managed several daring escapes by crouching next to the door and biding my time. Someone has to open it sometime, and then I'll be ready.

I'm trying to make friends with Adel, but she's still pretty upset about life. I don't really blame her. She's 14 years old in people years. That's about 72 years old in cat age. Her owner passed away and Adel was brought here. It's been a hard adjustment for her. I'm just glad she's hanging out in the room outside of her cupboard a little bit, now. She's likely to take a swat or bite at a human, unfortunately. I keep telling her that people are the bee's knees, but she doesn't believe me. She'll come around.

Spike and I had some great conversations this week. We had fun reminiscing about that time a bird got caught inside one of the feeders. Man, was that funny. I don't know how that feathery morsel managed to get in there. Birds can be tricky.

Spike and I both got our nails trimmed this week. Hey, we're secure in our manliness. Manly kitties get pedicures. Seriously.

On The Wings of Love

Whew! June just flew by, and boy are its wings tired. Yeah, I know, it's an awful joke.

Happily, Simply Cats has been hopping with new volunteers. I love seeing all the new faces, not to mention all the new hands that are available to pet me and provide treats. I especially like the crispy Whiskas treats, by the way, just in case you should feel so inclined.

This place has the very best volunteers. Everyone is so good to and with all the cats. I gotta say, it takes real love to come in here and clean our rooms. I personally cannot thank the volunteers enough, though I try my best by rubbing my face against their hands whenever they let me.

Thank you thank you thank you!

Stolen Cat

Hello from Simply Cats my feline friends. February was a great month for adoptions as we saw over 30 kitties go to new homes. But we also have some sad news to report.

Spay and Neuter

Hello from Simply Cats my fellow feline friends. Another exciting month here at the shelter. Over 50 adoptions this month alone. Now, that's impressive. With all the new kitties being adopted, I thought I better talk about the importance of getting your new companion spayed or neutered.

Vanny's New Year's Resolutions

Hello from Simply Cats my human friends. We had a wonderful New Years Eve here at the shelter. My friends and I rolled in some catnip, wrestled a little, then told each other our new years resolutions. Here are a few that were mentioned:
