Our Furry Family:
Twyla
We got her from our local animal shelter. She was a stray and had been there for 8 months. She has a virus in her right eye and occasionally, when stressed, it flares up and causes her to close her eye until it subsides. If you look close, you can see the scar tissue tendrils in her eye where the blood vessels have reached out to the surface to supply blood during these flare-ups.
Monster
We found her and her Mom, Momo, alongside the highway where they had been abandoned. We named her Monster because she tries to be tough and grumpy, but she’s actually just an anxious softie. Fun fact: Did you know that only 20% of Orange cats are female?
Momo
Monster’s mom. She’s the Mom of all the cats in our home and also our oldest. She goes full on ‘mom mode’ when any stray cat comes around outside. She’s the leader of our pack and definitely brings the tortitude. (Bonus: Momo means ‘peach’ in Japanese, and that’s just what she is. )
Pippy
We rescued her from a neighborhood with a stray German Shepard that was let on the loose and known for killing cats. Born with only three legs, but she gets around just as much as our other cats. She is the youngest and most energetic of the crew.
Ophelia
We got her from a local cat rescue following the death of our first cat, BK. Soon after taking her home, we noticed that she didn’t respond when called, and had trouble chasing toys when thrown. We realized that she was totally deaf. This doesn’t stop her from being our friendliest, and loudest girl.
Who’s next? We don’t know, but a special needs kitty could break our hearts anytime, so there is no telling what the future holds.
