Aside from being overweight Belle and Paws were de-clawed from their previous owners. Both of them had their front claws removed while still keeping their back ones. We were never given a reason why. We were just told that it was done when Belle was spay and Paws was neutered. …
Belle and Paws have slimmed down quite a bit since they’ve joined us. When we first acquired the two of them, they were both a little overweight. Belle and Paws now have specific feeding times during the day with wet cat food and don’t eat dry food regularly. We switched …
The term “rescue” here is used lightly. As pet owners, we didn’t rescue them from any dire circumstances where they were being mistreated or neglected. At least, that didn’t seem to be the case when we agreed to take them. Belle and Paws were overweight, and while we believe both …
We’ve made it no secret here that we advocate for senior animals as much as we can here. It certainly is the premise behind our mantra “Senior pets still have love to give”. More on our own senior pet’s journey HERE. Senior animals should be first on the list for adoption …

Initially, we started getting a few questions related to our images on the website. As cute as Belle ‘n’ Paws are… the questions came more about the rope we were using for the trees they are usually pictured sitting in. Some eagle eyed peeps had asked if we had made …
If you’re going to build projects for your cat, you have to think about what rope you are going to use. When building our projects we build with products that won’t effect the cat’s health when the cat is playing or sleeping on them. Materials that have been treated with …
Senior animals always have a place in our hearts. While they still have love to give… seniors will many times come with issues that need to be dealt with. We happened to get lucky with both Belle and Paws. Neither cat had any serious issues when we got them. Even …
Cat spraying can be one of the most frustrating challenges cat owners face. Much like our experience with Skittles, many cat parents find themselves at their wits’ end trying to address this behavior. Understanding why cats spray and how to prevent it requires patience, dedication, and a deep understanding of …
