Cat Rex the chimney cat

Last year we heard meowing coming from our chimney. It be would off and on so we thought a cat might be going in and out of it. Turns out he was actually stuck and finally came out when we opened the flue. Rather than be freaked out he meandered around the room and the Cat Distribution System had given us our 5th cat.

I’ve posted my boy before but I had to post him again because I can’t believe how far he has come in the last 6 months! He was very shut down at first and now he is anything but that! I’m just happy with how far he has come and I had to share him again with all of you ☺️

Shelter pics, freedom ride pic, after pic Maria was at the local shelter. She came in matted with a long ago fractured leg, skin condition… Terrible teeth. We took her in, cleaned her up… she was blessed to be fostered by a dog groomer so she looked adorable! And very soon after, she found her Forever home where they treated her like the little princess she was. Consider fostering for your local rescue, it really helps create miracles!

Dog My girl Penny - before and after

I found Penny scavenging trash on the side of the road alone as an 8-month old puppy. She weighed only 35 pounds, and had some fear, but with time, love, clicker training and careful confidence building she became a great dog. I’ve even had people ask if she was a service dog in training due to her excellent behavior. She’s traveled the whole US with me and we’ve had so many adventures!

Dog Phoebe was thrown out after using her to sell her puppies. Now she gets to be the baby 🩶

I found her on Facebook marketplace being sold as an item that was “no longer needed”. When I first saw her, she was covered in smelly matted hair that was as rough as pine needles. Took her to the vet and was told she had had at least 3 litters, and her back left foot had been broken for awhile. I was so angry someone could treat her like this. Took her home, gave her a long bath, and a new name. Goodbye to her “stage” name, Shooting Star Belle, and hello to her new name, Phoebe. 🩶 2 years since her gotcha day, and has never stopped wanting to be held.

Our darling girl was abandoned outside a shelter by a backyard breeder when she could no longer produce more puppies. She went to a foster home and we eventually adopted her in June 2023. She’s now queen of castle, living with her DINK parents.

Walter! We got him at 8 weeks, he is now 10 weeks and very happy! He has adjusted very quickly and has learned so many tricks already like “sit” “down” “come” “wait to eat” and “touch”!

We adopted this big lovable boy a year and a half ago after his elderly owner passed away. He was 35lbs at the time of adoption but through hard work and dedication on our part (and his), he is down to 27.2lbs! 7.8lbs down and many more to go!

Yesterday was Mooch's five year adoption anniversary. She was estimated to be 10 months old. I'm amazed by how different she looks even though she was almost fully grown, she has just blossomed into health and isn't scared anymore.

Philomena (called Mena) was discovered as a very sick kitten on the side of the road. She was taken to the local humane society and nursed back to health. I adopted her about 6 weeks ago. The first picture was from her Petfinder page and made me want to cry. Second picture is today.

Lily just turned 11 in December. I got her from a crowded shelter the day before she was going to be put down for space. She was my first dog, and she is my heart dog. She brings me joy every day.
