I just want to thank everyone for being so patient with me the last few months. Between Christmas, illness, and some surgeries, the beginning of the year turned out to be a bit more chaotic than our usual “kids, kittens, and chaos.” I pushed myself a little too hard trying to keep up, and my chronic illness finally caught up with me.
This kind of crash tends to happen every few years—it’s just the reality of living with an invisible illness. I usually manage our day-to-day chaos pretty well, but this time, a few much-needed surgeries tipped things into full-blown pandemonium. So while all my energy has gone into feeding, grooming, training, and loving on the cats, the rest of my time has mostly been spent with them… in bed.
And honestly? That part's been sweet. I’ve had up to 11 kittens and a mom or two snuggled with me at a time—great for socializing, not so great for getting fresh content. I’ve tried to post what I can, but I know a lot of it starts to look the same when it’s just cozy pile-ups on a blanket.
To add to the timing, I was in the middle of a room renovation when my body gave out, so now I’m playing catch-up on a space that’s not exactly photo-ready (hello, laundry chair). I’m finally starting to feel a little better though, and kitten photo updates are coming very soon.
This work is non-stop, and I love every bit of it—but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to a little rest later this spring. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing families who love our kittens and patiently wait for their turn. Many of you know bits of my story—chronic illness, four kids (two with special needs), and a home full of real, loud, messy, beautiful life.
Because of that life, I’m able to pour my heart into raising these babies with so much love and intention. We specialize in placing them with families like ours—ones who may be a little different, a little more chaotic, and in need of something sweet, soft, and steady. And hearing how well they go on to thrive, especially in therapy settings, fills my heart.
This may not be a job that pays much—if anything—but it gives me purpose, and watching these babies find their perfect homes is worth everything.
Thank you again for your grace, your encouragement, and for loving our little chaos crew as much as we do!
And tomorrow we are back to the regular live schedule and professional photos!!
