Cat stories & photos

Here's a small selection of successful adoption stories from happy cats and their new owners. While we're always glad to hear from people who've adopted cats and kittens from us, we won't be adding to this section any longer.

Instead, we'd like to invite you to visit us on Facebook, where you can post photos and stories to your heart's content!
