When the stars align and dedicated humans make bringing joy to other souls a priority, beautiful things happen. For one shy cat on the streets of Florida, his entire world was turned around. It wasn’t just one person that made a difference to this deserving cat. Not his rescuer who pulled him from his homeless […] More
The “Cat Man” signal went off again back in April of 2020 and Chris Poole jumped into action. This time it was a woman who contacted him about an odd noise she had heard coming from her car. I laugh here because I picture the “what sound is the car making” question. Also because I […] More
Many people don’t know where to turn when they have cat questions. We’re honored people think to send Cole and Marmalade messages asking, but sadly, rarely can we do anything to assist. Not to mention these pleas sit in crowded inboxes. And having to say “no” or “we can’t” isn’t easy. Even in the situation […] More
I personally love shopping, but I know that’s not the same for everyone. Finding the perfect item and then seeing it on sale is quite the rush if I’m being honest. But for cat parents we have to contend with another challenge. Will our beloved fur-babies even LIKE what we get them? Most times–as we […] More
Chris Poole, a.k.a. Cat Man Chris, is at it again–as usual. And we couldn’t be more thrilled for the felines of world that he’s dedicated to saving! Sadly, they need all the help they can get. That was no different for a trio of kittens that eventually found themselves tucked safely into traps by the […] More
I will admit, I’m a bit biased here. The cats and kittens that live at Purrfect Cat Rescue, Inc in Crystal Lake, Illinois hold a special place in my heart. Not only is it located in my home county, it was begun by people who quickly became family to us. We were there to listen […] More
Many of you joined us on this journey last week when the news broke of Cat Man Chris’s newest “Halloween” rescue, Samhain. If not, here you go! The sweet little street stray really made him work to get her out of danger. But in the end, the kitten was safe in his arms within a […] More
At the time of the year when the veil between this life and the next is thinnest, one very special soul has transcended the limits of this realm. It is with great sadness, that we share the news that the beloved Sir Thomas “Tommy” Trueheart passed away on the morning of November 1st, 2019. The […] More
For our favorite big cats residing at Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida, Halloween always brings very special treats. These deserving felines of all sizes are living out their lives in peace at the sanctuary. And after a wide range of rescue tales, they deserve nothing less! But what’s one of the best things the […] More
Last Friday, when others were just leaving work and excitedly heading home to start the weekend, one man was excited for a “smaller” reason. To be exact, it was a pound and a half, furry black reason that he crossed paths with. And the tiny kitten appeared out of nowhere, immediately changing any plans he […] More
Fall brings with it many wonderful things. The Earth begins to slumber and sheds the old to prepare for the new. Comfy sweaters, bonfires and harvests fill our homes with a heartwarming tingle. And I will happily admit that Halloween is my favorite holiday. Witches, black cats and skulls invoke feelings just like the “the […] More
I wish I could say it happens this was the norm, but that would just be wishful thinking and unrealistic expectations. I’m referring to when animal rescuers join together to save those suffering and in need. But although rescuers would save each and every desperate animal if they could, sadly that’s not the case. Some […] More
