Our dear kitty, Katusha, passed away about a month ago from a fast-growing cancer, and we are still pretty devastated.
Irina the Belgian Marshmallow
Well, 2019 ended up being crazy busy but hugely productive for me. After Rhea passed away at the end of 2018 I fell into a bad depression. She'd been with me for so much of my adult life, from New York to California to Arizona, and losing her hit…
Sofia and Rhea

Happy 10th Birthday to Our Sister, Rhea!
Happy 10th birthday to our sweet little Rhea! She was born into a hoarding situation - 70 cats! - in NY until she was rescued by the ASPCA, where we adopted her. She’s been with us for 7 years - in NY, CA, now AZ. She purrs a lot,…
