Two weeks ago Frosty the tom cat was caught after nibbling food each night on my porch. He was neutered at Spay Neuter Save Network and today I returned him to my barn. He didn't stay long, zooming away across the creek, up the hill, to my neighbor's pond area. He's probably been nibbling their cats' food over there, too. I'll keep his heated bed and food in both the barn and porch if he decides to venture back. (VIDEO)

**ALL SPOTS ARE SPOKEN FOR! Each quarter a winner will be announced on Debra's page and I'll post it on this page as well. Thank you everyone for helping us make ends meet for outdoor cats in need!**

Sunday morning, only TWO SPOTS LEFT! Want to play and help cats, too? Grab one of the last two (or both)! UPDATE: 17 left! UPDATE: Only 25 spots out of 100 left! I don't know why Deb's post I shared was removed, but I've added a link in the comments. ORIGINAL: Are you a football fan? Love cats, too? This fundraiser meets both passions! Almost half the squares are already spoken for, which means a bunch of spay/neuters for cats Debra has committed to help near Bath NY (long distance from Philly - I'm not sure how she manages that magic) AND she already sent 6 cases of wet food our way here at the Owl House. We'd love to fill every $20 square! https://www.superbowlsquares.org/AmericanCatProject And yes, that is one of our kittens playing with the football. 🏈 Closes on Feb 9th!!!! (THIS FUNDRAISER IS NOT ASSOCIATED BY FACEBOOK)

Misty and Hop Hop went to their new Homer NY digs about two weeks ago and were settling in wonderfully when their new mom reported in (and sleeping like royalty in her bed at night). That's four adoptions in just over 2 weeks!

Handsome Jack was adopted last night! He's on his 3-day health hold (for final worming and isolation to be sure all his plumbing is in tip top shape) and he'll be headed to his new home!

Peaches was adopted about four years ago (not five as mentioned in the video) and was returned. We have a 'no questions' policy because...life happens! She a super soft, super sweet cat, who was a bit hissy with Wiki when she first met him but has decided he's nothing but a big mush. The bathroom is her realm, but she's slowly extending her empire! She would love a quiet home with someone who appreciates a playful gentle cat who will happily snooze in the darkness of your armoire (her current bed of choice here) and pop out to say 'hi' until she's sure of her surroundings. Check out her original story (and her cute kittens when she was a 'wild mom' on the streets) via the link in the comments. Who here has a Princess Peach kitten?

Thanks, Amy, a new friend from the neighborhood, who came by to pick up kitty charms for Crocs we had listed on FB Marketplace, who came bearing a new kitten-sized cat scratcher and a cute bowl! Even though she couldn't adopt (she's caring for a special needs cat with megacolon) she gave the kittens lots of love during our Sunday open hours last week.

Food is good! A rumbling purr goes out to Debra (pres. of American Cat Project, currently in Philly) who sent four big bags of Purina Naturals just before Christmas, and Jo (cat rescuer retired physically, but not in heart!) who sent four cases of Purina canned food!

Update 1/7: Big purrs to Nancy, georg, Brigid, Sarah, Gail, and Debra for helping the Benji fund, too! Update 1/3: Thank you Mary Beth, Hayya, and Gretchen D! We're about 1/3 of the way there! ♥♥♥ Original post: THE GOOD NEWS. Benji has a home who wants to try him out. They are very animal-savvy and only have one other cat, and understand cats with long-term health issues. THE BAD NEWS - he needs a VERY expensive pre-adoption vet visit because he needs A) a radiograph of his pelvis as he never had one when his leg was amputated as the clinic who did the work didn't have one at the time. We need know if there's arthritis or bone shards that could cause the future owner problems B) a recheck on those crumpled ears of his (see him shake his head?) and C) he doesn't p*e in large amounts, so needs a urine test to be sure there's nothing going on there.

If you are able to donate to get this handsome boy out of here, I'd really, really appreciate it. If you'd prefer to give directly to the veterinary clinic where he has his appointment, let me know and I can give them a heads up. I'll put the PayPal donation link in the comments.

Like to help for free? I'm now open for visitors each and every Sunday before these kitties eat me into homelessness. They are ALL fixed, vaccinated, and there's not a sneeze in the house (knock on wood). It took a long while to get them all healthy, as they were all ill when they arrived, but they are bright-eyed and bushy tailed now.

Come for Coffee and Kittens, 1PM - 5PM! Just let me know you might stop in. When people visit, they talk about the kittens to their friends (even more than seeing them on FB) and they get homes so much faster! Bring a friend, even if they don't want to adopt!

Check out Benji's video, taken just a few minutes ago. He's ready to get outta here.

Misty and Hop Hop make me smile everyday. They really need to make someone else smile, soon, as there are 15 other kittens and cats here who need homes, too. They have no adoption fee. Come visit, decide if they match your lifestyle, and then I'll deliver to the room you have made ready for them in advance. Hop Hop is super affectionate but needs a home that will give him time to bond, and not frighten him too quickly with new things. Misty is afraid of nothing. They are both super smart and learned how to navigate the cat door to the catio the very first time they were shown it. I'd love to see them go together, because even though they aren't technically brother and sister, they've gotten each other through some really hard times. Misty is FeLV/FIV tested and Hop Hop's mom was tested, negative. Both fixed and vaccinated. Email owlhouseadopt at gmail dot com to set up an appointment to visit!

Most of our cats and kittens are up on Adoptapet.com. I'll be adding to their bios and will also get them up on Petfinder now that the photo issue there seems to be resolved. https://www.adoptapet.com/shelter/70681/available-pets/pets
