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.

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
If you’re anything like me, one of the best parts about going to the mall is people watching. These concrete goliaths are visited by thousands people each day. All going about their busy lives and barely noticing each other while rushing around. Some have a purpose in mind when entering the masses of shoppers. Others–like […] More
One of the coolest moment in our extremely “catified” lives with Cole and Marmalade, has been when Jackson Galaxy showed up at our door.

In the Cole and Marmalade ~ Jugg and Zig Zag home, we MUST be prepared for photo opportunities at every turn! Trying to capture candid shots of the “Furtastic Four” is no easy feat. That is, trying to get any shots in focus or with any cat looking at the camera is an undertaking. And GOOD LUCK […] More
For anyone who loves big cats, the thought of killing one for sport is something that never, ever crosses your mind. Sadly, we live in a world where not everyone agrees. We don’t need to go on, but chances are if you’re reading this, you agree with us–and that’s all that matters here. But recently […] More
Remember the tale of the 3 ginger brothers we in the Cole and Marmalade family pulled from under a shed in April? Just in case their story was lost in the sea of kittens flooding shelters during “kitten season”, here you go. Well after they were saved from the bleak darkness, the family settled in […] More
