The day after christmas (2014) we went to the shelter to adopt a maine coon cat we saw in a picture online. When we met him, we fell in love instantly. He was a mix of our past 2 cats that had past on within the last few years. "Sam" was his name but didn't really fit and he didn't respond to it. He is now "troubadour"(cause of the singing meow he gives off) and is very happy in his new home with

My name is Nicole and about a month ago my family and I adopted Barbie, now known as Chasey. She has been nothing but a dream addition to our family. Our girl thinks she's a lap dog, but might be about 50 lbs and 2 feet too big. Our younger son and Chase have developed the greatest bond by playing catch with her many toys. Since Chase doesn't quite understand how big she is, she thinks it is
Yaaay for Olivia, the beige tabby kitten, and her sister, Bailey, the unusual looking black tortoiseshell kitten !
Poor Bailey ! I visited Olivia 4X before she came home and saw that nobody but NOBODY was loving on Bailey. So I kinda/sorta had BOTH in mind when I came April 25 to pick up Olivia. I asked at the front desk if she had been adopted out yet and learned that no one had put in an

We had a lovely Easter with her and took her down to Dana Point
