A great tabby with white feet is playing with some hair ties and a marker
Always fun to make friends with a new cat sitting client. Leela spent 45 minutes showing me all her stuff like these sweet hair ties and this awesome marker that spins round and round!

Sleepy cats on top of a kennel at Caring for Cats shelter in North Saint Paul, the left cat is sleeping in a cozy bed, the right one on a blanket.
I checked the shelter cameras but they're all sleeping right now.
Cats!
My Sugar was the same! She had an intense love of canned tuna but looked at regular treats like we were trying to feed her crayons or something.

Where the kitties at?
We need a few more kitty volunteers in North Saint Paul (and remote board members who love cats)
Clean a room and then cuddle and play with the kitties:

My little old gal would take 24 hours to get back to normal after a gabapentin dose. Perfect time to clip nails, brush out mats and wash ears and booty though! (she was 19 and needed help keeping clean)

A tabby cat asks "do you want to help but don't know what to do? Sponsor a cat!" www.caringforcatsmn.org a volunteer driven no kill shelter in North Saint Paul Minnesota.
Give our kitties who aren't ready for adoption the time they need to find a forever home with a monthly sponsorship:

These are awesome. There's a small Minneapolis business that makes them too!

A beautiful white cat with brown markings lays her head on top of her owners face
I relate. I miss this girl so much. This is how we used to sleep and she would dramatically claw her way back to this spot if I dared to move her even just a few inches away.
