Spitfire (Spay) was born October
3/2001. She received her name because
of spitting loudly when picked up as a
tiny kitten. She is also known as
Flipper because of her habit of flipping
on her side for attention. She is Don's
shadow and helper when restoring
Arctic Cat Snowmobiles. She sits and
supervises what he is doing & waits
for the many treats that he gives her.
Spitfire is also known to try to drive
our Arctic Cat Cheetah snowmobile.

Meet Chocolat ! (Spay) She was born in 1988 at our home &
given away to a home in 1989. In 1990 she was returned to live
permanently with us. She has been our barn cat for many
years and an excellent mouser in her younger years. Now, at
the age of 20 years she mostly sleeps or sits in the sun.

Lola (Spay) is another of our rescue cats. Our daughter found her in their garage in January 200?. We believe she had been hit by
a car and spent a long period of time at the Vet's clinic to recover. She had a broken hip, frozen ears and a tail that had to be
amputated. She was totally wild and untrusting. For the first year of her stay with us, she could not be handled. She now trusts
Don and he is allowed to comb her and she loves any attention that he will give to her. She is never far from Keeper who is her
best friend.

This is Mittens ! (Neuter) He was born sometime in July 2006. He is a feral rescue cat, again from our daughter and he arrived
here early September 2006. He is from a litter of 6 kittens that were living under Kim's deck and she trapped them in order to
find them homes. Talk about wild, Mittens put up a good fight but became very loving in a short time. There is never a dull
moment with Mittens. He is always doing something. His favorite thing is to sit on a chair at the table while we eat and he puts
his front paws on the table as the one picture indicates.

There is never a dull moment here. Our Grandson, Damian, wanted a chicken so we now have a Cochin hen named Marrill that has 11
cochin chicks that hatched on Mother's Day, May 13/2007. Thank you to Shelley Kaban of Lucky K Minis for this group of chickens.

This is Juno !
On Thanksgiving Day (October 8/2007) just after having our
Thanskgiving meal Don & Darrell had gone outside and they seen a
goose come flying into the yard and hit the hydro wires running to our
barn. After hitting the wires, she was unable to fly and we caught her
and put her into the barn. She had been shot in the wing by a hunter
and had also cut open her breast when hitting the wires. She has
recovered from her injuries but is unable to fly. She is what is known
as a "Cackler Goose".

Boots - These Boots are made for walking!
This boy moved into our yard on December 7/2007 just as the coldest
days of winter started to arrive. He stayed in the barn for his first
few days here but the cold was showing a strain on his system. He
was very thin and extremely hungry and quite willingly allowed me to
catch him and move him into a heated building. He appeared to be
about 8-9 months of age. Boots has been neutered and will have a
permanent home with us.

| What has happened in the Year 2010 ! |
| This is "Orbit" On January 17/2010 at 10:00 P.M., this kitten was found on our back deck. He was suffering from starvation & hypothermia. Thanks to the wonderful care of our Veterinarian, Dr. Betty Hughes he has fully recovered and is now one of our house cats. He was named Orbit as he always seems to be in orbit playing and running around the house. He was estimated to be 5 months of age when arriving here. |
