Though it's been many years since Ollie or I made a post, it seemed fitting to make one last entry here. We began this blog together when he first came to us as a foster from the Waco Humane Society, and we continued together after he became a permanent member of our family.

 Friday, August 23, 2019, Ollie went to The Bridge.

He lived with us for nine years making it to the venerable age of 19.

When we left Waco for Dallas in April 2014, he made that trip.

When we left Dallas for Youngstown, Ohio in late August 2016, he made that trip.

 There are many memories, and it's very quiet now. Your voice. Your purr. Your sleek black panther look will always be missed.

 Ollie 

Adopted May 1, 2010.  Sunset August 23, 2019. 

 Farewell my good friend. I will meet you at the Bridge.

GET ME OOOUUUUUTTTTTTTT..........................

That's what little Skunk is saying here. This precious boy is at the shelter in Glen Rose and he is just too cute to be there.  Sweet boy deserves a home of his own. And Glen Rose is just a short drive..............

Shelter Cat Saturday, August 18, 2012

Sometimes Ollie makes a pick that can be a bit tough.

This fellow is in the Sherman shelter which is a gassing shelter and which has a 7 day eu plan. So.........today's Shelter Cat Saturday is a bit pressed for time. And he's a handsome gent. The black and whites are such a striking color combo, and this boy is no exception.

Ollie would REALLY like to see this handsome boy find his forever home. Sherman isn't that far? Don't you feel a road trip coming on? Ollie says he'll love you Furever and Ever if you drop by and take this pretty boy home. :)

Black Cat Appreciation Day.....tomorrow

Ollie wanted to be absolutely, pawsitively for certain I didn't forget about tomorrow. So to make him happy, I'm posting today. :)

Shelter Cat Saturday, August 11, 2012

Today's SCS is really special. Ollie wants to show the black cats that are available at the Rowlett, TX shelter where I'm doing work with their Facebook page. It's a special day for the shelter because they're having their "Empty The Shelter" event all day today.

Ollie and I both hope that lots of black kitties find their forever homes today!

Ollie didn't want to make a long road trip today for his Shelter Cat Wednesday selection, so we just hopped in the "car" and toodled on down to Killeen.

He found himself a pretty little black and white baby girl there who really needs someone to take her away from it all. Pepper is ready for life outside a shelter. Can you offer her one? It would make Ollie REALLY happy!

Tuesday's Artful Cats, July 31, 2012

See? Told you it would be back. :)

Actually, this is sort of a test drive for TAC's return. It's short. It's sweet. I've dropped one of the shelters I'm helping (I do online stuff so I'm not limited by physical presence stuff like being two places at one time.), so I have a bit of time available.

Surprisingly, there's not much in the way of cat measuring cups/spoons, but here's what I scared up.

Sunday with Ollie, July 29, 2012

This is what Ollie thinks of the time I'm spending on rescue that should be spent on him instead.

(For some reason, he looks horribly scruffy in this photo. I think it's just the lighting.)

SCSs Adopted!

Ollie's mojo is working. :)

I was told a little while ago that little Miss Saphire, today's SCS pick, was adopted at the Carrollton shelter today.

Go Ollie!

Go Saphire!!

Shelter Cat Saturday, July 27, 2012

Ollie has been getting a Tortie "fix" for the last couple of weeks. He loves him some tortitude, and today he's found just a little smidgeon of a girl up in Carrollton, and he thinks he sees a lot of that in her.

10 week old Saphire IS a doll baby. And she needs a savior by 6 pm Tuesday. She's up in the shelter in Carrollton, and that's no place for a little doll to be. Ollie said you need to get over there RIGHT NOW (that's him yelling, not me) and take little Saphire home and if you do it today, the shelter has a special running on kittens....$10
