Arrival Story: My ex-roommates and i were at the Save-A-Life shelter in Torrance and he reached out and pet me. We (me and Hunter) hung out for awhile while one of my roommates discussed getting a younger kitty with the adoption lady. Well, after spending all that time playing with each other, i knew that Hunter was coming home with us.
Bio: Hunter is the most gentle, loving, and intimate kitty. When he first came to live with me, he was very shy. He wakes me up every morning to snuggle and then to feed him. I love watching him feel more comfortable as time passes. Unlike his brother Munky, Hunter has no inclination to go outside. He has apparently had enough of the street life, and is happy to enjoy the comforts of an indoor kitty life.
A few months after we got Hunter, he had a seizure. We took him to the vet where he was tested for liver shunts, corona virus, and other stuff that i can't remember, and then released. They said the didn't have any of the stuff that he was tested for, and that he probably has epilepsy. But they couldn't be sure because the way that epilepsy is diagnosed is by ruling out everything else. So 2 years, 3 0r 4 seizures, and 1 ultrasound later, Hunter was pretty much diagnosed with epilepsy. Lucky for me, he doesn't have them very often at all-- about twice a year. And in between he's a curious, frisky, loving kitty.
He loves to cuddle up with me and a good book at nighttime.

My mama has a friend at work who adopted a kitty last year. Well, ever since she adopted him, my mama has been trying to get her friend to put the kitty on Catster. My mama finally wore her down, and last nite, Stache became a part of the Catster community! Head on over and check him out and make a new furiend!
Now for the goings part. Our furiend Patrick has gone to the bridge. He is Biscuit's brother, and he had CRF. We absolutely adore his family and his mama. They have some of the biggest hearts in Catster, and we're sad at their loss.
Last year, my mama read in the local paper about a lady who was caring for some ferals in her mobile home park, and the landlord was being mean. So she wrote the reported and suggested that they contact Alley Cat Allies. So they did, and now, there's a massive tnr effort going on. Below is the email that we got from Beth Kohler, who's coordinating this stuff:
I am emailing everyone to tell them of the huge TNR we will be performing out at Swan Lake Mobile Home Park in Mira Loma. It is set for March 16-20 and there are an estimated 3-500 cats out there. The problem is that so many are not feral but house cats turned out for various reasons. Animal Control will have their truck out there doing the s/n and we have several volunteers to trap and perform the after care. My concern is the friendly's. We are looking for foster homes for these until we can place them. They will all be s/n and chipped. If any of you can help, know of someone who can help, or somewhere we can obtain space to hold them until their forever homes can be obtained, please let me know. Any help or advice will be appreciated. I do not want them to go to the shelter as I know they are full and will have to euthanize them.
Mira Loma is in Southern California, in Riverside County. It's near Corona (where we live), so if you're out in that area, any help would be appreciated.
This issue is very close to my heart because I was a friendly feral, and i got tnr'ed and now i'm living in a nice warm home with 3 square meals and plenty of ruffpetz.
Oh, and we'll put contact info up later, as soon as we hear back from Beth.

Me and my mama are rooting for the Cardinals. While my mama does have a crush on Coach Tomlin, and she does like Big Ben, she has to support Kurt Warner. She's 36, and he's 37, and she wants to show the world that older athletes can still rock it! Also, she likes how he's up for the Walter Payton Player of the Year Award for how he is off the field.
