Hello! I am new to this forum and I wanted to introduce myself and my fur babies!
My name is Barb. I live in Clinton, Iowa with my boyfirend and four cats and six fish tanks full of fish.
My cats names and colors(breeds) are:
Twig,2 yrs old, grey tabby male, 15 pounds and king of the house!
Rocket, 1yr 9 mos, abyssinian male, 6 pounds and the prince of the world(so he thinks! LOL!)
Isis, 1yr 10 mos, tortieshell female, 6 pounds, came from the streets feral and coming out of her scared and skittish mode quickly( we've had her for almost a year now) she is the quiet one of the house
Luna, 1 yr 6 mos, all grey female, 8 pounds, came from the streets also, was part of Isis' group of feral cats and both her and Isis were pregnant when I found them and they each had a litter of kittens but Isis' didn't survive and Luna's did but I never got to see them, I waited until the kittens were old enough to eat solid food and then took Luna inside and she's been with us ever since. I wished I could've found her kittens and had them adopted out but I guess you can't have everything.

I love these four monsters and they are SPOILED with a capital S.
they are all spayed and neutered so there'll be no more kittens for Isis or Luna, their mommy days are gone for good!
I wish i could help every cat in our area but I can't afford it and I don't have the room in my house.

WELCOME BARB !!!



i hear what you are saying, we have dozens of strays in our neighbourhood,
when i go out walking in the mornings, i end up sitting on the edge of the street,
cooing to them, and suprisingly most of them come right up to me to be pet !

and how i wish i was rich and had a huge home that i could bring them all to


maybe one day ?!

WELCOME BARB!!!

You are going to have a great time here! We're all sane here, NOT!!! But we're a great bunch of people who have one thing in common, we love


Mayor of Portland??? Mr. Cat I thought you were Governor? Wsup with that???


BTW, my daughter Amy, under the name Callie, wants to know WHERE you got Cheshire Cat on the screen. I told her you were a man of mystery with alot up your sleeve. Please enlighten us. I'm curious myself.

Welcome to our family!!!! I have been here over a month now and love it!!!! It was great hearing about your fur babies. As far as rescuing goes, there are many of us here so if you need any advice, please post often! Someone can lend you a hand. Anything you do is wonderful, even if it just means the strays in your neighborhood are fed. I have a spare room in my house that I do it one at a time. Our local animal shelter will spay/neuter for free or $10 if you specify you have rescued it. They will also give it a 3 year rabies shot for $8. So, even if you can't keep the cat, your contribution of just getting him/her fixed, makes a huge difference. That way there won't be any new babies showing up on your doorstep. Also, if the cat is friendly, I will put it in the room and post at local vets for a home. If you ever would like any advice, let me know. We don't have to save every cat but we can do it one at a time and there are resources out there to help you. It doesn't take money, just effort. Welcome!

I can answer for you. To the left of the "post reply" button, there is a button called "new thread". Original posts are called "threads" so if you post a new post, you start a thread. Then, everyone can reply to you! Hope this helps!
