adopt this cat (before I do)

bitty is the latest happy cat to grace our west side store.  she is around 6 years old and gorgeous as all get out.

morty has a bit of a crush and we don't blame him.


her personality is that of a very loving, confident and curious lady.  it was difficult to capture her beauty in pictures because she was so excited to be here in kitty paradise. 

come to the mineral point road location to meet her or contact happy cat, but prepare to fall in love.  she's a real doll.

meet leesi

basement cat raven is already off to a new home! madcat west's newest happycat-in-residence is her brother, ceiling cat leesi.

lessi loves to play and is your typical, rambunctious kitten - all about toys, playing, cuddles and crashing into catnaps. he would be great in a home with dogs or other cats.

celebrate shelter pet's day!

most of us are proud guardians of a shelter pet or two (or three, or four).  today the shelter pet project is promoting adoption by smashing the negative stereotypes associated with adopting from shelters, that our pets are every bit as lovable as any other.

if you have facebook go to the shelter pet project's page and upload your pet's photo and adoption story to their wall.  spread the word that love can be found anywhere, even behind cage bars.  (and that kind of love can be the best kind of all.)

tea partiers vs. missouri puppy mill prop

it's no secret that we hate puppy mills. but missouri's prop b is at least a step in the right direction, especially in a state long considered the puppy mill capital of the US. it requires breeders to give dogs clean facilities, enough food and water and exercise, and a rest period between pregnancies.

sounds reasonable, right? not according to the tea partiers, who say that it's part of a "radical agenda" and that the real goal is "making it more difficult for middle-class american families to be dog owners."

*sigh* if yer lookin for a dog, please adopt.
