New fur-iends through thick and thin! Congratulations go to Brittany, Turk, Popular, Oscar, and Stella & Shemus (adopted together). Also adopted were Ginger, Gavin & Nala (together), and barn cat Whirlpool. Thank you for choosing to adopt.
If you have a record of the little grey one in the middle and who adopted her/him, can you please check to see if it is missing? There has been one like this hanging around my house for a few weeks now. It is not feral but very skittish and moves to fast for me to get a picture. It is very clean and healthy looking and no clipped ear. It has been trying to eat with the ferals I take care of and I don't want to see them fight.
I’m so happy for all of them.
Such sweet cats I adopted two one I had years .

December of 2018, we recieved this guy through owner surrender. Owner wanted him euthanized. Was he sick, no! This 11 year old cat didn't get along with their new kitten. Fast forward...hmmmm, CornBread, aka, Corny, was a hefty boy, weighing in over 20+#. We didn't have a cage large enough to hold him. Of course, we're not going to euthanize a healthy, very adoptable animal. We adopt out *only* pet animals, everyday. What do we do with him?
Diet Diet Diet, 1st and foremost.
We introduced him to Jenny Craig and he was placed on that wonderful diet plan and given free range, in the officers section, for exercise 😁. Fast forward .....this guy was never placed up for adoption. Why, you ask...cause we wanted to keep him and give him a job. Paw-ffice Manager. Now, CornBread would cry and put on a sob story about how nobody had fed him (everyday). Lie!! 🤣
His assistant, Hollie, worked hard on his diet plan and he lost all that floppy weight and thinned down to a handsome 14# Purebred Good Boy.
He assisted in the break room for lunchbreaks, (which he never recieved a nibble). He assisted in meetings and assisted in just being there, on our hard days.
A few months ago, CornBread acted a little off..he was tested for many things, and kidney failure showed its nasty face.
Today, Hollie and Kelli and AHOW helped assist our boy across the bridge. Today we lost a co-worker. Today, we lost a friend.
You Rest Now *Bread*
Your job here is done ❤️
We love and miss you Corny B, the bestest good boy ever ❤
What a wonderful thing that he was loved and cared for in his later years. You guys are the very best !! I'm sad for you, but happy to live in a community with such great pro-animal advocates. Thank you for all you do. Peace.
I had the pleasure of meeting Cornbread. Clearly he was special. Sending my thoughts to you all who loved and cared for such a handsome boy. I know you will miss him. Run free and happy over the rainbow bridge sweet CornBread. 🫶🌈🐾
We are so sorry for your loss! We know all too well how these animals touch our lives. Thank you for loving him and giving him a loving home! RIP Corny!
