Loss struck unexpectedly this week for my close friends when their kitty suddenly passed away, leaving them in shock and grief. They began to question everything. And doubt. Two questions they desperately want answers to are: Why did this happen? And could we have prevented it? If you’ve ever experienced this kind of situation with […]

Kittens by nature are fragile little souls. But when they are separated from their mother as infants it can be especially challenging on many levels. And that brings us to foster kitten Paul. My friend and client, Kathleen, does a lot of rescue work and reached out recently because she brought in a litter of […]

I received an amazing email this past week from a client who did a Reiki healing session for her cat, Castiel.  Some cats come into our lives because they have a job to do.  In this case, Castiel (aka Cass) views his role as a support and buffer in order to absorb the PTSD stress […]

It’s not a big surprise to me why cat parents hate taking their cats for a vet visit.  Our precious kitties love routine, and anything that disrupts this can be quite upsetting.  I’m sure our cats enjoy going to the vet as much as we enjoy going to the dentist.  No thank you!  Nevertheless, it […]

If you’re like me, I feel stress whenever one of my cats has to have any kind of surgery or procedure.  Nevertheless, sometimes it’s necessary, like spaying/neutering or dental cleaning.  To aid in the recovery, or convalescence, there are several things we can do holistically to help.

I received an email this week that made me cry.  Granted, they were happy tears!  When Michael reached out to me almost a month ago I could sense the desperation resonating through the phone. He had just purchased a custom dose of Lyssin, a homeopathic remedy often used in the treatment of an adverse reaction […]

  Back in January 2020 a very concerned cat mom, Sandy, reached out to me for help.  Their shy, sweet, engaging and playful kitty, Maggie, had become a withdrawn, grumpy, over-grooming, itchy and miserable mess.  Coupled with the loss of a bonded friend and the addition of a new kitten in the home, Maggie’s life […]

Probably best known for being hairless, the Sphynx breed of cat is full of personality.  They are very friendly, affectionate, enjoy being the center of attention, and tend to follow their owners around like dogs.  Back in October 2018 I was contacted by cat mom, Eve, regarding her Sphynx cat, Bi Nai.  He’s an indoor […]

  I love stories with happy endings!  Perhaps it’s because in real life this isn’t always the case, especially in the lives of rescue cats.  I want you to meet a very special kitty to me; his name is Pooh Bear.  His name, probably inspired by the lovable orange bear we all know from childhood […]

In the summer of 2018 a feral cat started showing up in the vicinity of my house.  Unbeknownst to me at the time I later learned our neighborhood had a TNR program (trap, neuter, return) for neighborhood feral cats.   This kitty was different somehow.  Filled with sadness, it was his eyes that got to me.  He […]
