We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.
~ Henry Beston, Author (1888-1968) The Outermost House

Cirrus is an enormous fuzzy cat with a wonderful, affectionate personality.
She was adopted from the SPCA in June 1997.



Eclipse is very petite and a gorgeous, shiny, solid black.
My youngest son is her chosen "purrson" and she was the first kitty in our family to go to college!
She was adopted from the SPCA in June 1997 and now lives in Colorado with my son.



Riley joined us in December 31, 2001 at the age of approximately 4 months.
What a character he is!



Kian, Kai and Aja joined us in June 2002 when I found them
at a local animal shelter during my "Quest for a Kitten"!
They are sealpoint and flamepoint Siamese.



I fell in love with Niko, a beautiful lynxpoint Siamese,
after seeing his picture & bio on Petfinder.com.
We adopted him on November 22, 2003


  
This sweet boy is Simon, my "grandcat"!
My oldest son found him in late May 2007 when he was approximately 3 weeks old.
He was SO tiny and we bottle-fed him until he could eat solid food.
Simon is now the biggest cat in the house!



Chessie Cat (aka "Cat") belonged to my uncle.
After his death in December 2005, my mom took her in and gave her a home.

IN MEMORY OF SPECIAL FURRIENDS

Cica (pronounced "SEE-sa")
December 23, 1981 - April 6, 2002

The picture on the right was taken just days after Cica's 20th birthday.
A beautiful Sealpoint Siamese, Cica was my best friend for over 20 years.
This memorial garden was created over her grave.

VISITORS
************************************

A family of groundhogs appears early each summer...

...and we have a lot of deer that visit, too.



And then there are the bats....
BATS?!

Too many wonderful--but unwanted--animals are dying in shelters. Rescue organizations do what they can, but there just aren't enough adopters or foster homes to deal with the number of animals who are abandoned each year. PLEASE spay or neuter your pets, make arrangements for your pets' continued care if they should survive you, and consider adopting a homeless cat or dog! Visit your local animal shelter or use the links below to find your new best "furriend"!
