Hey all, if you can, please consider donating to help this cat sanctuary out. This is absolutely heartbreaking and we're devistated as cat people. He dedicated his life to the cats and this is... I just can't. It hurts too much. 
A fire at a decades-old neighborhood cat sanctuary on New York's Long Island killed the community's beloved "Cat Man" and dozens of the animals.
Chris Arsenault, who opened the sprawling Happy Cat Sanctuary on his property in Medford, died trying to save as many cats as possible during the fire Monday, one of his volunteers said.

Charlie (Left) was born outside in the spring a few years ago. When the weather began to get cool in the fall, he became ill. Metro Cat Rescue volunteer took Charlie inside. Many months later, his mom, Quad was rescued from the streets. Charlie immediately recognized his mom.

Notty cat house acclimation update. We had another outing this evening (I was too busy most of the day to supervise a wander). Susy was curious. Notty cat checked out her litter box in the laundry room, but did not use it. They had a little face-to-face in the dining room "crossroads" of the house. About four feet apart. Susy was calm. Notty growled and spitted. Susy stood fast and growled back. No raised backs or flattened ears. Progress.

The introduction of Notty cat to our house is going well. Let her out of the guest room to explore (supervised) and interact with our cat Susy. To my surprise, normally timid Susy is very curious and not at all afraid. Notty is the one who is afraid and keeps hissing and spitting. Susy seems relatively unperturbed. At one point she (accidently) cornered Notty in the living room and Notty got a bit upset, but no big confrontation.

One of my grandmother’s cats. Cats have been rescued here for something like three quarters of a century.

Today is the the big day. Notty (AKA Not My Cat) cat passed her vet checkup yesterday with flying colors, got her shots, and will be moving from our shop-office outbuilding into the guest bedroom of our house while she and her new "sister" Susy get to know each other and work things out through the door. I've been carrying scents back and forth for a month which I hope will ease the transition. Fingers crossed. (more info in alt text)

#Trapped and fixed this little darling this weekend. Poor little #love isn't cut out for stay #cat life. She was so chill in the trap and only terrified when a very tall human stood over her. No hissing. Only love for food. We have to take her in for dental work but then after that I am so hoping the rescue keeps her. She needs a home. Not to be on the streets. Hoping to get her adopted. #tnr #catrescue #losangeles

Two New Cats and Spring Arrives
Cats seem to know to find their way to our place. It could be because we're the only house along the gravel road without at least one dog, or it just could be that the cat distribution system knows where to send cats. Either way I had been putting out food for them and getting a space ready to bring them inside. With last week's co

Silver Cloud was a tough outdoor cat for many years. That changed a few years ago when a Metro Cat Rescue vollunteer noticed that he wasn't eating.

A Tale of Medical Bravery and a Cat-astrophe Averted

When fate put her in danger, Italian radiologist Gianluca Fanelli stepped in after hours and used hospital equipment to save her life—reminding us that sometimes, a caring heart is what makes all the difference. Join the conversation: Do you agree compassion should always come first, even if it pushes the boundaries of the rules?
