Extreme heat and humidity can make your cat uncomfortable and may even be life-threatening. It’s summer in Virginia folks!
Do all the common sense things like providing lots of clean, fresh water and areas she can cool off in. Your cat may shed extra fur during this heat wave, a daily brushing will be nice.

Gracie decided she wanted to come into the house! At 14 years old miracles do happen!
- Gracie was 9 yrs. old at a local shelter that tried her with 2 or 3 adopters. But, Gracie lashed out at all of them. The shelter even tried her as their office cat, but she was not social or touchable.
- Feb. 2019 Gracie was 9 yrs. old and we welcomed her to our outdoor Kitty
City and she loved it. For 5 years she flourished in the outdoor life. At 14 years old she has decided to check out our house!

SirC and Leia hiding in the bathroom during heavy storm. BFF forever.
🐕 Leia was rescued Sept. 2013 from a hunter and only 6 months old. Leia is now 11 years old remains fearful of other people. So, she is a permanent ATOHS resident. ❤
😺 SirC was rescued Oct. 2012 at approx 1 yr old from the local county shelter. He wants the life of being an indoor/outdoor cat. Adoption was limited to rural homes, not a barn cat. So, over time he became a permanent ATOHS resident. SirC is now 12 years old. ❤

It is with great sadness that our loved Riley passed away on Sunday. 🧡
- 2009 Riley (and his sister Shannon who is still with us) started us on our path of cat rescue. Riley was the patriarch to any new cat or dog at our Sanctuary. He welcomed all and watched over each and every member. I believe he will continue to watch over us and is pain free. 💖

Nite time grooming. Whenever Leigh (Foxhound) and SirC (Tabby) are in for the night, Leigh loves to groom SirC. The whole time SirC purrrrs with enjoyment! 😸🐶. Oh, and that is Beau looking on like "really"?
- We rescued Leigh (Foxhound) in 2014 at approx 1 year old. She was very skittish and non-responsive to calling her or recall. So, she was not adoptable. Leigh remains weary of strangers, change and sounds. She prefers the quiet life and her family here.
- SirC was rescued from the Charles City Shelter in 2018 as a young cat (not sure of age). He is a fabulous boy, but prefers spending 90% of his time outside. So, like Leigh his adoptable criteria was limited and he is loving life here.

Bed time for the house. Lucy giving Riley an evening ear cleaning then off to 💤.
😻 Lucy (black/white) is approx. 8 yrs. old and suffered a stroke 2 years ago. Since then she has recovered 95% of her mobility. Riley (black) is 15 yrs. old and has always been our Sanctuary's patriarch and caregiver to all at the Sanctuary.

Cats ?!! Senior 15 yr old Riley decided to be finicky on eating. We feed our cats a consistent diet of Purina One dry mixed with Fancy Feast or Friskies canned. Every day is a challenge to get him to eat. He will not eat shreds or chunks. We have tried brand variations of pate, mousse, broth, toppers, and gravies. Each one he eats for 1-3 days then no more.
😁 Our friend, Nancy G, gave us 2 cartons of Wegmans cat food. He gobbled down a whole can and continues to like. All of us who have senior cats know we vary brands and texture every week to satisfy their palate! Right? 😻

Baseball season is here!!!
Our cats love baseball so much that they eat off baseball plates
We need your help. The kitties are having a hard time picking a favorite team. Do you do it by locale, mascot, concession stand food, uniform colors?
Which team is your favorite? Please comment

Folks, I’m ( Gail) going to brag on Annette. She takes care of our
3 dozen cats and 5 dogs each day. Part of that loving provided work is keeping our facilities clean. Look at the picture of Cat Cottage, our largest building where most of the cats eat and sleep. Clean and organized. Nothing is too good for our kitties.
Please leave a comment giving Annette recognition for her faithful service
Update. Thanks for all the kind comments

😱 Run For Your Lives! Maggie on the loose in the village 🐹
Sleep time for the Sun Room Cats. 🐱💤
Shannon in Heaven! A cat bed on the counter top! 😅 😻 10 Seconds after I took this cat bed gift out of the box on the kitchen counter Shannon was in it. 😽 My mom, and all our animals' godmother, gifted 2 of these beds for our senior house cats.❤ Needless to say, the beds will not stay on the kitchen countertop! They will be located in their favorite sleeping spots in the house.
TidBit and Lucy are Best Friends 🤗😻. 😼 2013 we rescued Tidbit (buff) from a feral colony at approx. 5 years old with Strabismus (cross eyes). He was semi-feral, meaning it just took a few months for him to love us and his new family. Tidbit is now about 15 years old and feeling his age. But, he still is active and a lover to anyone he meets. 😸 2016 we rescued Lucy (white/black) from another rescue at approx. 3 years old. It took about 1 year for her to adapt to us and Kitty City, but she then developed into a very social girl. 2022 Lucy had an emergent issue which our Vet believes she had a stroke. A few months of recovery, Lucy recovered 80% of her mobility. She still has a head tilt, right eye vision loss and stumbling. She remains a social butterfly and ❤.
Giving Buster his weekly massage. (I always use both hands, but can't do when taking pics!) In 2014 we rescued Buster (he was about 5 yrs old) with 8 other adult hounds from a deplorable situation. Buster was one of the least socialized dogs. It took several years for us to gain his trust. But he developed and became a sweet loving boy. Due to his past neglect, he is riddled with arthritis and joint pain. Every day he gets Cosequin and his kibble is Authority Senior for added supplements. He spends most of the day in comfort in his favorite chair. But! sometimes he ventures out and runs with his buddy Cato. 🐶🐾
Shannon (cat) nose butting Beau (dog). 😳 It is amazing I caught this on video. I cannot remember Shannon ever physically touching any of our furry family. I was taking a picture of Beau and then Shannon moved in for a nose butt with him. It was just seconds, but Wow. 😺🐶
We are blessed with awesome furry families! We were very low on cat food, and Beau's favorite dog food! The last 2 days we received all this! Thank You Gail, Martha, Pam (and her dog Cooper), and Stephanie(and her dog Theo), Tina, and all of their friends!! 🍷The wine is mine!
Each season has its' challenges. Summer is Shedding! With 32 cats and 5 dogs it is difficult to keep up with hair maintenance to help make our furry family comfortable in the heat. My Best Tool is the Furminator. The cats and dogs 💛💛 to be combed with it. They all purr, roll over, drool, relax and love their spa treatment!
This water fountain was donated to us. Tried it out with our house cats and they love it! ⛲ Neo sampling the water and choosing which side tastes best. 😁
Delegated to the back seat, and it ain't Katie.
Thank You All For Your Donations For Beau's Dental Surgery!! 💛 Beau is feeling much better now. No Pain! He spends his days outside. Comes inside before dark for dinner in bed (wet food only for a few more weeks) and then 💤.
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with dancing and fish tacos. Sanctuary cats will be taking extra siestas 😉
Lucy enjoying the Daisies on a beautiful day. 🌻🌻 😺 2016 Lucy was relinquished at approx. 3 yrs old by an individual that rescued stray cats. Lucy was semi-feral when she arrived here. Over time she became loving and friendly. Last year she suddenly became sick with upper respiratory and ear infections. The combination affected her equilibrium so she is now one of our House cats. Although Lucy's mobility is challenging, today she decided she wanted to enjoy the outdoors in our spring garden. 🏡 She is a testimony to wanting to enjoy life no matter what!
Petey! 2019 he was left on a bike path at the tender age of 6 weeks old. I wish I had taken a picture because he was in a cardboard carrier that had "I Love My Pet" emblazoned on it. Thankfully a bicyclist saw the box and called 911. I was contacted by the Sheriff Dept . and I retrieved him. Petey had major respiratory issues and was very thin. Took several months to get him healthy. 😺 When Petey was finally healthy, he was part of the family and he Loves being outside in Kitty City. 😻 Today he decided to visit in the house and I told him it is Video time!
♨️Enjoying a spring midnight country style burning with Fuego, Angelo and Squirt. - We rescued Fuego from the County Shelter in 2019 at approx 6mos old and very Feral. His life at the County Shelter was going to be short, so we stepped in. Fuego (Fire) has blossomed into a loving boy enjoying being outside and inside. He prefers being outdoors, so he is an ATOHS permanent resident. - Angelo was rescued from the County Shelter in 2012 and was approx 1 yr old. Angelo is a fabulous boy! Loving and sharing. But! He loves to mark and spray his area. 😯 Athough he is otherwise great we knew he was not adoptable. So! Angelo is a permanent ATOHS resident. - Squirt was rescued from another Rescue in 2014. Age approx 1 yr. He was a semi-Feral kitty. It took me several years to gain his trust. Then, it was almost overnight that Squirt came to me and started wanting attention. He now greets me everytime I come home and craves attention.
