This is an odd cat story. It’s about a guy who has a rescue cat who is three-years-of-age. The cat is an outdoor cat (this took place in the UK). The man, Matt Strong, was walking to get his hair cut when he saw a lady tending to a severely injured cat by the …
This is a veterinarian who should never have been a veterinarian. He was a failure from the beginning as far as I am concerned. This veterinarian worked in the United Kingdom. He is Gary Samuel, 49, and his assistant is Rochelle McEwan, 28. Both have been found guilty of animal cruelty offences after police …

A much loved and sorely missed Charlotte-based cat rescuer, Deb Smith, ended her own life on 7th January. She had cared for over forty cats with her mother …
Once again there’s turmoil in the cat advocacy world, this time coming out of North Carolina. The whole situation brings into question as to whether shelters should do background checks on the rescues who pull cats from them. I’ll be as brief as possible, but will list several links following this article so the …
This is about “Pearl”, an angry looking but sweet cat. We know that people and, yes, domestic cats can have an appearance which gives us a completely false impression about their personality.
