It can be hard work for a cat, making humans take notice. A lot of training goes into getting it just right!

Fluke's Bubble

Fluke lives with eleven other cats but is kept seperated from them. He has his own "apartment" with a plexi-glass door and window so they can see each other without having direct contact. He does not really live in a bubble.

Garfield Wins

In June of 2004, at the age of 18 and a bit, Garfield had major surgery. That he came through it is surely down the to the care of the veterinary staff at Pet Care and our vet, Kevin Castle. But it is also down to Garfield's tenacity and sheer determination. Laura Dumm drew this cartoon to celebrate Garfield's triumph - which sums him up perfectly!

Surrendered Cats

Seventy percent (70%) of cats that are turned into pounds and shelters for behavioural problems in the US are declawed cats. Twenty-five percent (25%) of cats turned into pounds and shelters are purebred. Simply stated, a declawed cat is a maimed cat. This is because the claws have so many important functions in the life of a cat. DO NOT DECLAW YOUR CAT!!!
