Above is a picture of Ysabel and Penny taken in Nov. of 2002
shortly before they were adopted.
They were two feral kittens who came from different places but soon became
very attached to each other. Almost six years later, they are still just as bonded.
Click on their picture to see them now. (Picture taken 5/2008)
We were so taken by their friendship we have used their original kitten picture
on our business card ever since.

Stray Cat
Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth , and food
For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny.

While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed.

He ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh Cat,
I'd willingly relive all that
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well...don't just stand there...Come on in!
