Forever Friday Recap

Clubber was featured in early June and is still up for adoption. He is a big senior cat, all black and has 6 toes, thus the name. He would be the perfect companion for a quiet, calm household. For more info on how to adopt him or to see more cats needing forever homes..visit Animal Compassion Network in Asheville, NC.

This lovely cat is Shadow, a 1 year old Maine Coon mix neutered male from the Avery County Humane Shelter in Newland, NC. He has been adopted but keeps coming back to the shelter due to the owners moving etc.




Big Boy, is another older cat and a big guy. He needs a home and lots of action. He had a home but his owners fell on hard times and had to give him up. Click on Catman2, the no-kill shelter in Cullowhee, NC he lives in, to see more of Big Boy and the other cats available for adoption.

Bella is an all black large female who is also about 3 years old. Given that black cats do not get adopted as readily as other colors we hope Bella finds a forever home soon. She is at the Asheville Humane Society in NC.

Tina is very people friendly, two years old and has been here at the Watauga Humane Shelter since December 2008.

This beautiful sweet guy was adopted from the shelter as a kitten and just recently ended up in a shelter in Charleston, SC. Peace is an amazing cat and would fit into any family. He is 2 years old and long haired. More info on adopting Tina and Peace can be found online at the Watauga Humane Society.

Since Mom started Forever Friday, three cats out of nine have been adopted - let's get these guys forever homes! Pass the word on and link to this post!

Thanks for all your get well wishes for Mom - she is hanging in there and going to a specialist in another week. She is still trying to catch up on her visiting!

Forever Friday - Big Boy and Winners!

This larger than life boy is from Catman2, a private, no-kill cat-only shelter. Conceived in 1996, Catman2 is managed by Dr. Harold Sims, a retired college biology professor and his wife,Kay, a retired school social worker. The cats live in a large shelter adjacent to the Sims’ home in Cullowhee, North Carolina.

If you like large cats you will love this older cat, Big Boy, He is around 25 pounds of love. If you adopt him he NEEDS to be put on a diet. He needs a home and lots of action. Check him out. He had a home. Good home. two good but owners fell on hard times and had to give him up. They left the shelter crying. He was loved and he needs love again. He has a microchip. Click on Catman2 to see more of Big Boy and the other cats available for adoption.

Thank you all so much for the great turnout for Chica's 19th Birthday Bash! She had a great time and is still going strong - not one to wimp out on a party! We have some winners for the quiz questions altho Mom should have Googled the answers better herself - you guys got one up on her!

The oldest living cat, according to the Guinness Book of World Records was Creme Puff from Austin, TX who lived to be 38 years - and Grandpa, the Sphynx, (who Mom thought was the oldest!) was 34 years and 2 months. So we have two winners - Artemisia, Socks, Scylla & Fenris for getting Grandpa's age correct first and The Monkeys for guessing right first about Creme Puff. Both you guys get a fun cube to play in!


No one got the first quiz about what you call a cat over 22 until Mom added another hint - cats over 22 are considered to be in their 100's - so the answer is centenarian. Both Creme Puff and Grandpa were considered to be 120 plus years old! Cat of Nine Tails won this quiz for guessing correctly first so they get a copy of the Cat High Yearbook!


Thanks so much for playing and all the good wishes. Let's hope Chica is around another 10 years! Don't forget June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month!
