Health scare for Sunny. Within a few days she became extremely lethargic and lost her appetite. Our wonderful veterinarian said to bring her in and did f***l, blood panel, T4scan, fluids, antibiotics. 🙏 Today she has shown she is hungry and more alert. Recheck with veterinarian next week.
😽 Sunny is a Female Orange Cat. It is Rare for orange cats to be female. We rescued her in Sept. 2019 from the Charles City County Shelter. She was approx. 3 yrs old and obviously dumped because she was so friendly. She has always been so gentle and sweet here at ATOHS. She is a small girl. She is now approx. 8 years old.

Rest In Peace Gracie. I am positive she was met on the rainbow bridge by Riley and our other ATOHS family that have passed on.
😻 Feb. 2019 we accepted 9 year old Gracie from another rescue. They stated she would attack and strike anyone. So, I said I'll take her! Maybe all she wanted was to be left alone and be outside. Well..guess what. That is exactly what she wanted. Gracie flourished in Kitty City! She was not a socialite with the other cats, preferring to lay in the sun, eat and sleep in her favorite places. I was the only person she would come to and let pet her.
This summer, on June 13th Gracie came up on the porch and wanted to come into our house. It was the 1st time she ever showed interest in the house, and she continued to come in every day and eventually sleep in our bed. I am so happy to have spent more quality time with her over the last 4 months.
Love you Gracie 😽

This never gets old! The burning of prior year cat beds with a few cats monitoring the progress. Tomorrow we will purchase new beds for the upcoming cold season!
😺 Mr. Grey came to us June 2013 from the County Shelter at approx. 2 yr. old. Mr. Grey always wanted the outdoor life, so he became a permanent resident and one of our greeters to vistors. He is now about 12 yrs. old!
😽 Gracie came to us Feb. 2019 as a transfer from a local Private Rescue. They told us she was 9 yrs. old and tried adopting her out 3x, but she was returned. Gracie did not like other cats. So the Rescue reached out to us and we accepted her. We quickly learned that Gracie just wanted to be outside to do her own thing. All the other cats respected Gracie by giving her space and she flourished. Recently she has even ventured into the main house! Gracie is now approx. 14 yrs old!
😽 Petey was left in a box on a bike path Dec. 2018. He was only 6 weeks old, malnourished and clinging to life. We quickly brought him here and nourished him to be a healthy boy. He also wanted the outdoor life, so he became a permanent resident. Petey is now 6 years old!
😸 Sq**rt was a feral cat that we accepted from another local Private Rescue in Oct. 2014. She didn't want to have anything to do with humans. So, Sq**rt was housed in the enclosed area of Kitty City. She escaped shortly after and I thought she was gone. But! She stayed around and watched my interaction with the other cats. It took about a year, but Sq**rt became a lover...only to me. Sq**rt is now approx. 11 years old.
😻 Sweetheart, came to us as an extreme feral cat in Nov. 2012 at approx. 1 year old. Sweetheart stayed in the enclosed Kitty City about 1 year, and flourished. She alway watched me interacting with other cats. Then one day Sweetheart came up to me rubbing all over my legs. Ever since then she has been a greeter to all people. Sweetheart never wanted to be inside, hence she became a permanent resident. Sweetheart is approx. 13 years old!

In 2014, we expanded our mission to encompass the inclusion of hound dogs, leading to new adventures.
- 2014 we discovered 14 dogs kept in despicable conditions. The owner of the dogs abandoned them in the summer while there was a drought and immense heat wave. The dogs had no access to water or food, little protection from the elements and were starved for attention. For 3 Months every day my husband I brought them food, filled their water buckets, socialized with them, cleaned the floors, and put tarps up to help give them relief from the sun.
- After the 1st month of not hearing from or seeing the dogs' owner we contacted the County Animal Control (AC) and they said they couldn't do anything because the dogs looked okay. WELL, That Was Because We Were Taking Care Of Them!! AC told us to stop feeding them and then they could be considered abandoned in a few weeks. 😠 So of course we would not do that, and we continued to care for the dogs for 2 more months.
- During that time we started raising funds to build a dog kennel at our Sanctuary. Thanks to our wonderful friends Hugo, Mary and Strother for their donations we built a kennel so that we could move the dogs to our Sanctuary.
- In Sept. 2014 we finished the kennel and moved them to our Sanctuary. It was probably the 1st time the dogs were able to socially interact with each other and they immediately loved it.
- Over the remainder of the year we continued to add on to the kennel giving them lots of room and protection. All the dogs blossomed! They were also allowed out of the kennel once a day to run free on our 30 acres. After several hours of running free, they always returned to their kennel. They knew it was their new home.

Video of Kitty City from 2017! Alot of work went into establishing this group of buildings. We learned what worked, and what didn't. The enclosure was for new intakes. A cat would be required to stay in it for 3 months to get familiar with the new environment. After 3 months it was up to them if they wanted to stay in it, or come out to become a free roamer or be adopted. Some cats refused to come out for over a year because they liked it so much!
