My mama found me through a friend in Tennessee and she loved me before she ever met me! She flew all the way from Oklahoma to pick me up, along with my sister, Gypsy. Gypsy lives with my Gma, tho. But I have lots of company here! I got my name from my other mama. The one I didn't get a chance to ever meet. She went to the Rainbow Bridge a couple of months before I came to my furrever home to take
care of some other kitties n puppies, mama told me. Her very favorite song, mama said, was one called "Gemini Dream" by a group called "Moody Blues". Mama told me it was her favorite song, too! I was born with a problem. My back legs don't look like other kitty legs. They're a bit short, I'm told, and they come to a purrfect point! Every day, I'm getting stronger and using them more, tho! I also have a "funny" foot in the front, they tell me. Mama said its "clubbed". But I don't know what that means. It works fine for me! Wish I had more of them sharp thingies on it, tho, like I have on my other front foot! I have a really hard time climbing up on stuff like my brothers and sisters can do and that makes me sad! So mama has built me special places here JUST FOR ME! And she put ramps and steps on the towers and the furniture so I can get up, too! She got me this funny cart to use. Said that my furriends actually bought it for me! ‘Possed to help me get around but I hate it!! I tried it out but it was hard to use. All I know is that my mama LOVEs me!! I have a big brother who is the GREATEST big brother of all times!! His name is Stewie and he's almost a year older than me. He's teaching me everything he knows! For some reason, mama says that's a BAD thing... But he takes good care of me and he has since the day I came here to my furrever home! He gives me baths a lot so I think I must me dirty! I am awfully dark... He lets me try to catch his tail and I love that game! All my brothers and sisters do! We play around and chase each other's tails for a whole 5 minutes sometimes! But I'm the BEST! I have a few other brothers and sisters, too. My brother and sister, George and Gracie are litter mates, whatever that means. I don't see George too much. He mostly runs and hides from me. Gracie just sits and watches me. I try to play with her and, most of the time, she won't play with me. Then, there are my sisters, Beau and Skeeter. They're litter mates, too. They are 9 months older than me. Sometimes they let me play with them. But mostly, I play with Stewie! I have other baby brothers and a new baby sister, too! My baby sisfur, Sammie, is a year younger than me. My brother, Spike, is all BLACK, like ME!! He’s a year younger, too. I got a brother name Sheldon Cooper. He got a broken leg when he was a baby and had to have surgery to fix it. That was when mama found him at the vet and brought him home. He had to have one more surgery to take the pin out and now you can’t tell anything ever happened to him! He doesn’t even walk with a limp and he is SO FAST! He doesn’t like people, tho. Just us kitties!! He’s missing out on a lot of good lovin’!!! Cuz mama gives the BEST kisses!! Mama calls him her “indoor feral”. I got another sisfur who’s another “indoor feral” and is Sheldon’s little girlfurriend! Her name is Gabby. She’s a sweet lil girl who came as a baby but never adapted to mama’s lovin’ either! But she follows Sheldon around all the time! My other new brother, Scooter, is a year old now! He had really bad back legs like me! He had to have them amputated. Mama says he has something called "Spina Bifida" so his back end doesn't work at all. He has to wear DIAPERS! But he sure is fast, just like I am!! He can CLIMB! I can’t even do that!! I love my brother Coot!! I got another baby brother named Pistol and he lives up to his name! He was going to be a foster kitty, but he has a problem that makes his head all wobbly and bobbly, so mama says he gets to stay! He’s fun to play with! But I have to be careful and not play too rough with him. He’s very clumsy and falls off things when he plays too hard! But he’s getting bigger, now, so we have fun playing! We always have kitties and big cats coming in and out of our house and sometimes it gets a bit hectic. But mama said she wouldn’t have it any other way! She says it’s our duty to help the furbabies that don’t have homes. I don’t mind. As long as they leave me alone! I’d rather have my mama all to myself! But I’ll share sometimes…
I got a step-sisfur, Onyx, who’s all black like me but doesn’t have any tail at all! Mama says she’s a MANX! She’s gonna go live with her mama Be soon! I’ll miss her! And my youngest brother’s name is Zeb and mama says he’s as bad as Stewie! He’s a real escape artist and breaks into rooms even when the doors are closed! He’s trying to teach me stuff, too, but my paws aren’t as strong as his so I can’t do what he does. I still try tho! I have a brother, Wasabi, and a sister, Bunny, who look a lot different than I do. Mama calls them "dogs"! They just look like funny looking cats to me… And they smell funny!! This page is gonna be fun! Don't you think? Let’s be friends and then let’s talk! Show us pictures of you and your family by posting them to our wall!! We have a special album to share your kitty and puppy pictures in and we also have an album we call our “Rainbow Bridge” album where we put pictures of the babies who have gone over the Rainbow Bridge for you.

Mama and I do a lot of work helping our local Humane Society, so we always have new kitties coming and going in and out of the house. It’s been fun meeting all the new babies!! But it’s been hard to keep track of how many are here from day to day! Seems like they come and go all the time! Mama says we’re saving lives, one at a time! We do a LOT of work with them and I like it cuz I get to make new furriends! We have 2 groups that we’ve started so you can get to know each other!
