Twenty Nine in 2009

Oh wow, what a year it's been. It was such a pleasure getting to know each of these 29 very special little beings, watching them grow, and seeing their personalities develop.

We had some good times , and some worrisome times too. In the end.. all was well and our happy, healthy kittens all met their families and left our nest.

Thanks for being there by our side through it all. We appreciate you so much. You are an amazing, loving, community and your supportive ways always lighten our load.


Happy New Year, friends. We wish you ALL the best, and look forward to spending 2010 with you!

Lots and lots of love and hugs,

Laurie, Craig, Drewey, Charlene Butterbean, Walter and Ira.

The Young Ones

From the Musselman archives, a few picutures of the babes during their first week with us.

Cats on Glass

I'm going to warn you folks now....
the last couple of pics have a PG 13 rating. Benny's little bits are exposed. Scroll down at your own risk... ;)

Exploring the Great Upstairs

Usually towards the end of their stay with us, we allow our fosters to come upstairs and do a little exploring. It's quite exciting for the kitties when their world nearly doubles in square footage.

Upstairs, there are two windows ledges to perch on which offer wonderful views of the neighborhood. There are excellent sun patches to nap or romp in, a bed and lots of chairs to hide under, a surplus of toys and lots of carpeting.

Here are some shots of the happy little Musselmans exploring The Great Upstairs with their pal, Butterbean.
