Mew-Mew House at Second Guess Farm ≡ Cat Retirement and Hospice
Mew-Mew House exists to provide a home for cats that might otherwise be euthanized and are certainly Retirement and hospice for elderly and special needs cats.
As you know, Mew-Mew House lost Mildred and Buddy the Sage yesterday. This was a devastating blow for me (Penny), personally.
Now I need to usher their bodies into their next form.
Please consider making a donation to Mew-Mew House to help cover the cost of their cremations.
I expect this will be between $300 and $400. Mew-Mew House does not have that money right now.
Donate with PayPal or credit/debit card:

Thank you,

It's a terrible day at Mew-Mew House.
Mildred passed away unexpectedly just hours before a same-day vet appointment I got for her. Vet suspects FIP.
Then, just as the tears had dried (mostly), I heard Buddy the Sage wailing downstairs. We suspect a massive cardiac episode. He passed in my arms at the vets office during the appointment I'd made for Mildred.
It's a bit much to deal with. Animal rescue is not for the weak.

You need a cat and a dog, so here Comet and Princess recreate "American Gothic".

It's "Pie and Beer" day! Even the cats like to celebrate.
Pie and Beer day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in Utah synchronously with Pioneer Day. It happens every July 24th.

You need a cat, so here's Princess, our newest resident. She's getting used to the constant motion in the house and would really appreciate it if I would just keep it down while she's sleeping.

You need a cat, so here is Patches, looking quite demure.

Comedy in texting with the veterinary office...😂🤣
Them: "...Just a reminder that Kody and FEE FEE have appointments..."
Me: "Fee Fee managed to make a duplicate set of car keys, so she plans to be there whether I make it or not. Kody says, "I do what I want," so I'll deliver him in a carrier. Fee Fee will be disappointed that I won't be letting her drive"
Them: "...FeeFee is going to be restricted from driving for the next 10 days minimum, so it is important that you find that extra set of keys and confiscate them. The neuter should realign Kody's attitude, so he will have a better outlook and stop being so bratty."

Hmm. My most recent rescue isn't all that friendly, but sure likes to be in high places...

Friends, it's an attempt at humor related to a local mountain lion/cougar/panther sighting

One reason why we like our vet practice: they actually read their texts.

Buddy the Sage is still recovering from his ear resection surgery. He's learned to use his cone to protect his personal food dish so he can eat in peace. He's also weaponized the cone with a stealthy back-of-the-knee attack. Nevertheless, he's looking forward to getting his cone off next week.

Mew-Mew House is an 1830’s farmhouse on two acres in Williamson, NY. In this home dwells old, sick, or otherwise un-adoptable cats. These cats have the most warm and loving souls a person could ever hope to know, but found themselves homeless through no fault of their own.
Some cats have chronic challenges that have forced their loving families to find different accommodations. Some lost their homes because families had to move and could not take their beloved pets. Some of our cats’ loving pet parents passed away unexpectedly. Sometimes these cats are the innocent casualties of divorce.
Regardless, each cat here has a permanant home. We make sure their medical needs are met to the best of our ability. We don’t condemn any cat for ‘thinking outside the box.’ And as much as possible, we update families photos and stories about their cats, and involve families in any difficult decisions that must be made. Where possible, we allow families to enjoy one-on-one time with their pets when the end of life is near.
Mew-Mew House is part of Second Guess Farm, that will (one day) include Metallicat Artisanal Forge and Fermentation, Epoch Isotopes, and an as-yet-unnamed feral cat sanctuary.
