MSPCA Angell has an emergency cat adoption event on Friday (7/17/26)! Fees will be waived for all cats over 1 year old. This event will be Friday only. So many great cats need homes! I adopted my Missy from the MSPCA in 2019 (pictured below), and she’s the best feline companion ever! 🐾❤️😸
Missy’s most melodramatic picture! Happy Caturday…I think? 🤔 #cats #rescuecats #catsky #felinemelodrama #caturday
My first cat Isabella, around 2011, when we were traveling together, living in random places and spaces. #catsky #rescuecats #tuxedocats #memories

Unexpectedly and pleasantly spotted today, sitting in the shade behind my apartment building during my usual commute. #ganesha #overcomingobstacles #newbeginings
Missy, picking up where I left off early this AM. I love her use of her own tail as a pillow. #cats #catnap #catsky #tuxedocats #missycat #itisherbedbutsheletsmesleeptheresometimes
Hellebores sprouting up around my neighborhood (my favorite early spring flower)!

Trailblazer, one of my favorites from the MSPCA. Everybody agrees that he’s so good-natured, relaxed, and mellow. He’s such a wonderful cat!
