UPDATE "Baby Ruth": Hi Charlene,
Baby Ruth renamed RBG for Ruth Bader Ginsberg, alias Ruthie, is as independent, beautiful & wise as her namesake. I’m suspicious that she has some Siamese in her genes because she’s very vocal & is a one person cat. She’s curious & playful & is without a doubt my best friend. She enjoys sitting in my lap with a good book & yoga, especially shavasana. I’m very thankful for Ruthie & Avery Humane as we approach Thanksgiving & our one year anniversary.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Her best buddy Chewy is the next door neighbor and they love to play with each other. She's been a beautiful addition to our family. Butch and Debra Butler

UPDATE "Sakari": Good morning Charlene! Her name has been changed to Mittens and she’s wonderful. She’s certainly a lazy cat that loves to snuggle, she loves to play with toy mice, and really enjoys following the dogs around the house. I have attached some pictures below so you can see how much she’s grown. I really appreciate all that you do and thank you for allowing this girl to be part of our family!!!
Thanks again, Sara Bare

UPDATE "Meatball & Liberty": These photos are from summer and early fall…
Sammie (Samantha) and Dean are doing well, and they have a young brother now, Castiel, who I adopted from a shelter near my Mom in Rutledge, TN.
They are all healthy and full of energy, love to run and play inside the house, and get along splendidly!
(Yes, as their names indicate—I’m big fan of the TV show SUPERNATURAL)
