We were devastated after losing our two 15 yr old cats (brother & sister) 5 days apart. Three months later we took a trip to NEAS and met Poppy, a 10 month old cat who came from Georgia. He stuck his paw through the cage and rolled over for us. We immediately knew he was… Read more »

We adopted Graciebelle aka Gracie in 2014 from NEAS where she had come from Alabama. She is certainly a southern hound because she lives to chase squirrels and rabbits who dare come in the yard, as well as take long leisurely naps in the warm sun! She is definitely not a fan of the cold,… Read more »

A family without something to love and care for can be difficult and feel missing, when we adopted our dilute calico cat Pumpkin (Princess) more love grew in our family and she feels just as loved!

He really wanted a pitty-type breed, but my house contains 3 generations of humans and picking a breed suitable for all was uncertain.Well, I have to say that for a “bully-breed”, our sweet Abby (Pitt-Lab mix… Read more »

On June 26, 2021 we adopted Papaya, formally Olive, after the loss of our oldest cat. Our younger cat, Mango, was very depressed and refusing to eat so we thought a friend would help. There was concern about how well they would get along and about her getting enough to eat as Mango is a… Read more »

When we met Luna (previously Heidi) she immediately stole my heart. She was hesitant of us at first, but I was determined to show her just how loved she would be! The first night she slept throughout the night without any crying! We’re now on day 6 and she has completely stolen my boyfriend and… Read more »
