Those of us who work in rescue organizations see way to many beautiful animals be euthanized because of the shear number in the shelters. Too many lives are lost too young because of over population and irresponsible pet owners. Thank you for being an animal advocate.

Our Rescued Himalayan, passed away two years ago. He died in my arms and I miss him so. His name was "Muppy" (aka Zaphod Beeblebrox - the vet techs never got it right, so we switched to Muppy. We found him abandoned (declawed and neutered) near death next to our compost bin. He was our friend and comic relief for ten years. Love you Martha! What lovely kitties!

He is gorgeous and just the type I was looking for. Very true to his breed. I'm a big big fan of breed rescue orgs. They know the breed so well and can be such a font of quality info on the animal. Congrats on your kitties! I hope they have settled in nicely! I love himalayans! Sooo sweet and loving!

In other words he bounces around a whole lot. He wears a "real" dog tag as a name tag. So Bo's life was saved, my mind was saved and yes my son is back in Louisiana safe-for now!

It's important for people to know, EVERY single pure bred cat and dog can be found at a shelter. Thank you for saving 2 lives Martha! So great!

I had a Himalayan that was given to me by someone who could no longer care for him. Although he was not well from the get-go, he lived 6 wonderful and joyous years and brought me much happiness. I hope one day to adopt another Himalayan (I have to work on my husband as we already have an active 7 year old boy and a beautiful Siberian Husky that we adopted from the SPCA). Enjoy your new ball of fluff. Maybe you can show them more often on your show so I can live vicariously through you until I get another Himalayan. Be well, Jodi L. Hi Martha,

What a cuttie pie. I had a Himalayan that was given to me by someone who could no longer care for him.

Enjoy your new ball of fluff.

Be well,

I inherited a himalayan cat and find I have difficulty keeping her groomed. After several trips to the vet, (sorry for the visual description)for brown chunks in her ears and a lot of brown caking around the eyes, including her nose, and chin, I was told she probably has allergies and to try different cat litter and/or cat food. The treatment they gave her in the past was antibiotics and a steroid shot. Since I am not happy to continue with steroid shots I try to treat her myself. After having a first time incident for me with my other cat, a 12 year old Tuxedo, getting out and missing for four days (I live in a rural type setting with lots of woods, fox, racoons, etc.) I had to give the two cats frontline flea treatments, all this to say, the flea treatment seemed to help the himalayans eyes and ears! So I am now using a ear mite treatment, and cleaning her ears with that. I also have a MAJOR problem with finding a groomer for her. She has drawn blood and now no one wants to groom her. I know I'll be tisked but I have had to have her shaved several times. She is very upset when I try to groom her! She did not grow up with being brushed and groomed regularly. I am working on that when I can. My tuxedo loves to be brushed, but the himalayan is the one who needs it. Perhaps one day you could do a show on grooming these special cats, with some tips about any known problem areas, and remedies. This information is difficult to find.

On New Years Day we adopted "Buddy" a golden retriever mix. He came from a Golden rescue shelter in our state. He's 85 pounds of love. We say we didn't rescue him-he rescued us!

They are very lucky to find themselves in your care. I hope the other critters pictured will find homes that are just as good. I love your animal posts! Martha,
