Our Friends at the Cat House for Adoption
http://www.bobbiandthestrays.org/
Hello Kit-tahs and their people!
I wanted to tell you about something that happened this week to a group of cats we know well!
My mommy and daddy volunteer at Bobbi & the Strays Cat House in Long Island City New York. What is the Cat House? Well, it is a house filled with cats. (and two small chihuahuas I was told). The cats have come from all walks of life, some belonged to people, some did not. Some had lived out on the streets, some, their families had left them, some had no families.
But these kitties live in this house, all together. There are some that are very friendly to people, and would love a home. They have a home, but it's not the same as when one has people of ones own, believe me.
I know there is a cat there, a lovely Black and White cat who would love a kind and responsible home. His name is Louie, and he really likes when people visit him, but would probably love it even more if someone would take him home with them, so he could have them to himself. Louie likes other cats, too. And he gets along well with the two small dogs, which to me says alot about his temperment.
And then there is Shadow, an 8 year old cat who's person passed away. She lives there now, too. She longs for people to visit with her, and for a person to love her enough to take her home. She may have a harder time than most, too, because she tests positive for FELV. However, she is healthy. A cat can test positive for FELV without ever becoming symtomatic. Shadow loves laps, mommy and daddy talked about how she just wanted to sit on their laps.
There are so many more, too. They are lucky that they live there, because they have food to eat, and a warm place to sleep, and volunteers to care about them. But they really need more.
If you want to meet someone who will love you, be loyal, keep you company, and be the best friend you ever had, please consider adopting, and if you are seeking company of the feline persuasion and live in NY, please consider a 'Cat House' cat.

Hello Kit-tahs! Greetings from the Nat Cat!
Ah, a brief whisper of Spring. It's a bit warmer than what it has been, and I hope it stays that way.
I would like to greet you all, on this, my blog. I want to tell you all that yes, I have chosen to blog here as well as Catster, I wish to reach more of you out there-cats and their people. Why? Because there are many of you who simply do not have the ability to speak with those of us who are Elderwise Kit-tahs.
My story can be read on Catster.com. It's a simple one. A lonely and somewhat sad little orange kitty who was way over the age most people want to adopt kit-tahs. Our vet estimated I might be about 11 or 12. However, she's now re-evaluating that, because I am looking so good these days. This, yes, even as I undergoe chemotherapy for a lump found and removed from my mammary area. I was spayed at the rescue-no one else had done it before. And by then, I had already developed a mammary tumor.
These days, I feel remarkably well. Mommy will post new pics of me, so you can see how well I am doing! I feel well, strong and happy. I rest when I want, eat often, and am catered to because I'm loved.
Such was not always the case. I came to my people via chance: they found me at a small local rescue. I was in a bottom cage, my head hanging, dejected. I didn't like other cats much, but didn't even care that there were kittens in the next cage, joyfully batting at my ears and back. My daddy said afterwards he wasn't walking out of there without knowing we would be a family.
My pawrents did adopt me, and I came to them in November. A few months later a 'bump' on my belly was bought to the attention of my vet, and she suggested surgery. I had surgery and my biopsy came back posiitive for breast cancer. So 4 weeks after my surgery site had healed, I started my chemo.
I would like other kitties and their parents to know that chemo is not terrible. I am doing well, I eat and play and use the box without discomfort. I do sometimes have a little period of upset stomach a few days after one chemo treatment, but then I recover and after a few naps revive.
I have to encourage all pet pawrents to spay their kitties! This could have been avoided if I had been neutered at a much younger age. It's important if you want to keep your kitty healthy.
I also want to encourage all pet pawrents to take care of their kittahs. I might have been put out on the street after my person died...it was obvious that when I was medically neglected, I was very much loved, as I am very affectionate with poeple.
Well, kit-tahs, I bid you adeiu for now...a wonderful nap awaits.
With many Purrs,
Natalie the Natcat
