Arrival Story: I rescued Muppet from a huge cat sanctuary where the cats had been left to starve. Several hundred did not make it and many more were critical when we arrived to try and help the end of May 2007. Muppet and precious Beannie Baby were among the most critical too and the heartbreaking day when Beannie Baby died from kidney failure I scooped up Muppet and brought her home. I didn't want to let her out of my sight. She weighed only 4 pounds, she was emaciated and dehydrated. She could barely walk and she looked like a puppet on strings when she tried. It's been over 3 months now, and Muppet weighs in at 6 pounds. Still needs to gain a couple more pounds. Her kidneys are thankfully hanging in there, but she's still having some problems with her ears. For the first month after we brought her home, she slept by the food and water bowls. She didn't want her food and water to ever get 'lost' again. She's learned to trust again that the food and water will always be there, so now she likes to sleep on a bed or by a window. Her personality is starting to come out and she is such a sweet little character. We love her so much.
Bio: Later, in mid July, Best Friends thankfully took over the sanctuary thanks to my pleading phone calls, and they've already adopted out over 100 cats. About 550 cats still need to find homes. We have now officially adopted Muppet!! Yeah! I named her Cassidy in June when I first took her to the vet, but 'Muppet' seems to fit her better. On Catsters, Best Friends has posted some of the beautiful cats from the sanctuary for adoption. They accidentally put my Cassidy/Muppet's picture on another cat's story. They do have another Tortie that they named Cassidy also who is up for adoption. But that adorable little kitty that I'm holding in their photo is our precious baby. :) The photo I added where's she's sitting on a chair I took the end of May 2007 out at the sanctuary. Muppet, as most of the cats, was emaciated and almost bald from malnutrition, mange and ringworm. There will be justice for the cats in this horrible animal cruelty and neglect case at this sanctuary. I will be one of the many to testify to make sure the persons responsible hopefully get what they deserve. .......................... UPDATE 12-02-07 - What can one say about Best Friends Animal Society? After they arrived, 748 cats were recovered and 684 of those survived thanks to BF's at this nightmare animal place. (They were awarded by the court another 114 animals,that they flew to Utah, when the former owner's home was raided by Animal Control.) In all, over 300 sadly did not survive due to neglect, and in the end starvation and dehydration, by the previous owners. But as of today, out of the 684 cats that BF's endlessly and diligently worked to save, only 200 or so remain that need to be adopted in to their forever new homes. That's close to 500 cats saved, at times to the tune of $50,000 a week in vet care expenses, and placed into fantastic new homes!! This horrible, so called sanctuary, known as F.L.O.C.K., For Love Of Cats & Kittens (Now rightfully renamed 'For Lack Of Care & Kindness') is now known as among the worst ever recorded hoarding, animal neglect and cruelty cases ever discovered in our Nation's history. We are STILL WAITING for the D.A. to press charges................ As for Little Muppet, she's doing better. Her right ear still bothers her a bit from time to time, but other than that her health has greatly improved. Her newest thing is that she's discovered how to play and that it's fun. She still will freeze and stare at her feet if another cat comes close to her. She has recently warmed up enough to trust one kitty, Armani, a huge breakthrough for her. (Thank you Armani for being so gentle and patient with her) She's such a doll and we love her so much. :) (Further updates are in her diary )

I have been tagged by my cute friend CASEY to play the Thanksgiving Game! I am to purr out 5 things that I am most grateful for. I have been blessed so much so this game should be fun and easy! Thank you Casey for thinking of me!
1) I am most grateful that I am here today to play this game. Last year at this time my days were numbered, but with the extreme kindness of the Muppetheads and many others, I was able to have my surgeries! I am so grateful, thankful and blessed! Thank you to all who helped make this possible! I wish that I could list names, but that would take days and make this entry 2 miles long! *grins*
2) I am most grateful that I have wonderful doctors who never gave up on me! Dr. Herr, Doc Holly, and my favorite Doc Forbes! How can I ever say thank you enough, especially to Doc Forbes who personally drove meomy and me to California to have my tests done.
Again, I am grateful, thankful and blessed!
3) I am most grateful that I have such loving and kind friends in Catsterland! Your prayers, support and love I know is what pulled me through the really tough times. Your friendships mean the world to me and I am blessed to have you in my life! Thank you & big hugs!
4) I am most grateful that I have a loving home and family and that I have no worries of ever going hungry or thirsty again. I’m very thankful for every comfort that has been provided for me.
5) I am most grateful that I was able to be one of many of sweet CALVIN‘s ‘Pet of the Week‘! So much was going on then, and I didn’t even know who Calvin was! Over time I discovered just what a special soul he is and, like so many, many others, I miss him! Thank you Calvin and all of the hundreds of wonderful Catsters for your kindness and generosity!
Sweet Skinner,you were a blessing to your family and a good friend to us and many, many others here on Catsters. We send our sympathy, love, purrs, and prayers of comfort to your wonderful Family. You are so loved and will be so missed. You’re one amazing and courageous spirit and we will always remember you, handsome boy!
Sad Ooh ooh, Aah, aah’s
Prayers & Luv,
Lil’ Muppet

Our foster kitty’s ‘lamp photo’ was voted as one of the finalists in the Naughtiest category! Wow was meomy surprised! That picture contains five of her beloved foster kitties and it felt great to have them receive such an honor, even though they smashed her lamp! Mol!! Thank you & big hugs to everyone who voted for them! Spunky if you read this, I still love and miss you a lot! I'm so glad that you are doing fantastic in your new home!
