A kitty.

Cat Boy.


Meet Cat Boy. He is 7 years old and lives with Nancy L.

"He is a rescued 'copper' Bengal. We were remodeling the bathroom and every time we removed some of the old sheet rock and tile, he would rush in, stick his head in the hole and inspect the interior of the wall. I'm guessing he was looking for mice or bugs. He was very helpful and contributed in a positive way to the job. His head is covered in sheet rock dust in this photo."

Ruby.


Meet Ruby. She's 4 years old and lives with Kathleen K.

"She is a tortoise cat who loves sunshine and having her head rubbed. Her nickname is Billie Holiday because she loves to sing the blues!"

Da Squirrel!


Meet Da Squirrel! DS is 7 years old and lives with Henry L. and Kristin C.

"Da Squirrel! is 7 years old, yet timelessly fierce. She has been over-indulged and under-disciplined by Kristin and Henry for the last 5 years. Her hobbies include: dental hygiene, biting guests, and sleeping in the dryer (yikes!). Kristin inherited Squirrel from a previous roommate who did not see the beauty in her anti-hero personality. She is now properly appreciated and very loved."

Mellie.


Meet Mellie. She's 5 and lives with Henry L. and Kristin C.

"Mellie is a native New Mexican beauty whose tri-color fur is the pride of our household. Mellie is a shelter cat and helps prove that when folks want beauty and a sweet personality, they need look no further than their local animal shelter. One of Mellie's most wonderful charms is her amazing loud purr, which sounds like a small motor and we've dubbed 'speedboating.'"

Sophie and Harry.


Meet Sophie and Harry. Sophie is 9 and Harry is 3, and they live with Roberta G.

"Sophie (gray and white) was adopted 9 years ago from a Dutchman in a French bar. She was 8 weeks old. About 3 years ago, Harry (tabby) was left outside our door along with her two sisters, aged about 8 weeks. She was very ill and by the time she regained her health, she was ours. We brought them with us from France and they're learning to love Santa Fe, along with us."
