I've written a few blogs about shelters for stray and feral cats. I'm particularly impressed with the ark workshop shelters. We just had 3 days of pouring rain and the inside beyond the wind guard stayed dried. We miss Lance terribly. Thank you for the help you give the feral cats in your area.

H...Bless you for taking such good care of Lancelot. He was a lucky boy to find you. It is always hard when it comes time to say good bye but for a street cat he seems to have lived a good life and had a nice yard with shelter and even a sunroom! I take care of several colonies of feral cats in the inner city of Baltimore where I live. About 30 cats all with shelters I made from Rubbermaid totes and I got them all fixed and vaccinated. Street life is very hard. You made a big difference in the life of Lancelot. He was a big, beautiful boy and lucky to have wandered into your yard. BTW I just happened upon your blog after a google search for ark workshop feral cat houses as I'm hoping to invest in one or two to replace a few Rubbermaid shelters that have become a bit worn. I'm glad I found you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-84419970797721303572013-09-27T19:44:36.571-07:002013-09-27T19:44:36.571-07:00Deborah--I think animals are a lot more intuitive ...Deborah--I think animals are a lot more intuitive than we give them credit for. One of our farm rescues, Ebbie, is so in tune with me. I have physical problems and she always seems to know when I'm in pain or overly stressed. She feels like a close sister rather than a cat. Lance came to us and adopted us for a reason and maybe sometime I'll know what that was. I hope we gave him the love and affection that he needed. Thanks so much for sharing with me and bless you for taking care of the kitty gifts we're given.KRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917722953196601117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-20806075987124963372013-09-27T19:38:30.309-07:002013-09-27T19:38:30.309-07:00Renald--I've had lots of pets over my lifetime...Renald--I've had lots of pets over my lifetime and I'd like to believe their energy is all around me...and they'll be waiting for me.

I adopted him at the same time as I brought home Samhain, a girl cat who was in the same room at the shelter. She was 4 or 5 probably, when I adopted them (a stray, so they didn't know for sure), and developed chronic renal failure a couple years after I brought her home. 5 years in, I'm still giving her subQ fluids every day, and we're fighting the good fight. Ironically, I adopted those two in the name of a stray who showed up in my driveway one cold upstate NY February night. That cat, who I eventually named Melisande, was skittish, but had clearly once had been close to people. I caught her in a trap so I could have her neutered and then adopted,and as I sat with her in the mudroom, waiting for my friend to pick her up, she started to purr. Needless to say, she never went anywhere. Six months later, she suddenly got very sick and the vet said she was in renal failure--had probably been dying the entire time she'd been with me. My vet as much as said that she thought the cat had been sent to me so she would have love and a safe place to spend her last days. Lance was lucky enough to find the same thing. *hugs* Deborah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032614187237072683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-35292000728864929582013-09-27T13:01:21.898-07:002013-09-27T13:01:21.898-07:00Saying: Some of the people waiting for you in heav...Saying: Some of the people waiting for you in heaven are not people at all.Deb PelletierChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966883616877261692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861176667101359582.post-17582668677778145882013-09-27T12:57:16.796-07:002013-09-27T12:57:16.796-07:00A touching post.Here is a saying.
