International Cat Day is observed annually on August 8. This is a day to celebrate one of the world’s favorite pets.
Cats provide companionship and comfort to many. Studies show having a cat can help to lower stress, anxiety and even depression. Having a cat in your home can also help reduce the risk of heart disease in high-risk individuals. It can even help fight mental illness. Cats can be entertaining as well as beneficial to your health.

Around our home caring for cats has become quite the love affair. We have 6 inside cats and care for a large number of outside cats that started off as feral. There is no more rewarding feeling than getting a feral cat to trust you enough to pet and protect them. After enduring countless years of wandering and nothing dependable, it can only be done by building trust and a ton of patience.
We work with local animal groups and shelters to TNR. We have found homes for any that are born before that can happen. As we live outside of a major urban area we often aquire new visitors who were dumped by owners. Please like and subscribe to our YouTube channel. We use the proceeds to continue caring for these cats. Sadly we were forced to say Goodbye to Charlie on July 17th, 2024. After 12 years of love and companionship, Charlie crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He will live forever in our hearts.
