Hello! I'm James!
I'm an old guy who drives a little blue smart car around (see Avatar) and likes cats.

I have 5 cats at home - Cuddy (Killer Kitty McGilly Cuddy), Sam (Samantha), Robin, Abby (Abigail, "Abby Normal"), Finn ("Finn The Adventurer, Big Boy, MegaChonker (22# ginger). (I don't know if pictures would be appropriate for my initial post, and I *know* links to their FB page aren't permitted, so...)

I am the "Facilities Manager" of the Port Penn Cat Colony (PPCC) with 8 cats: Angel & Raven, Rags & Spot, Minnie, Laverne, Sprinkles, and Rayne. More about that in my "About Me."

Since I'm a tinkerer, I'm always looking to do something new. The off-grid PPCC has many of the luxuries of home - Lights, Power, Heat, Water. If you are interested in learning how I've done any of it, I'm all for sharing ideas.

I also start / maintain the websites and Facebook Pages for a number of DE cat rescues / non-profits.

My most recent cat-related "add" is a HomeAgain Universal Microchip Reader - yeah, unfortunately the really expensive one. I've had personal experience with cats with odd chips that normal scanners don't read (2 of my home cats!). So, now I've also made myself available in the local area to scan strays, etc. when a vet visit just isn't practical. I really need to clone myself...

When I'm not doing that, or at work, I'm also a large fan of Disney (all things "Disney") (I married a Disney addict). She & I and some other friends run a non-profit that raises funds for a resort in central FL for seriously-ill children. (clone #3).

Again, thank you for letting me bend your collective ears!

James

And for any Phillies Fans, you might have Deja Vu with Finn - yes, that was him on the first base line for the 2020 season:

And no, I didn't pay anything special for that neat spot - the people looked at his hat (it says "Phinn"), and put him up there.
I brought him back with me for the 2021 Season Opener to heckle the teams (he had thought bubbles printed up), and he also shows up in our front screen door and windows for holidays.

Enjoy

You do indeed they are absolutely adorable. The port Penn colony. How cute are they? And you'll have to give the home crew extra scratches just for thier cuteness. Loving Finn at the baseball. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cat's.

Hello and welcome to TCS. :wave2: Lovely clowder of kitties, both the ones at home, and those at the colony.:catlove:
That's why the home ones are called the Cayz Clowder (in case you didn't see that in the avatar). They have more fans than I do...
