Some of the Kitties at Tabby’s Place

December 8, 2009 By: Sparkle Cat6 Comments

These Tabby's Place kitties can have a better life, with your help!Since many of the cats at Tabby’s Place are special needs, I thought you might like to meet some of them:

Tashi is a young kitty who came from a feral colony. He couldn’t move his back legs and was incontinent, so coming to Tabby’s Place was his one shot at survival. He is even getting physical therapy to improve his mobility.

Anastasia has Inflammatory Bowel Disease that requires a special diet and medication. She is also a big purr machine, as this video shows.

From the looks of him, Nuttin has had a rough life. He is FIV+ and diabetic. But in spite of everything, he is extremely affectionate and loving.

Bellis is a much-loved resident at Tabby’s Place. Because of a disorder called micropthalmia, she was blind and her eyes never developed normally. With a history of medical complications and inappropriate elimination, she needs a lot of attention, but the people at Tabby’s Place still hope she’ll find a forever home. And you can see why in this video — she’s an adorable, playful little thing!

Special needs cats make up around 30 percent of Tabby’s Place kitties. Find out more about them all here – maybe you’ll want to sponsor (or even adopt!) one: http://www.tabbysplace.org/specialneeds.php

So you can see why I’m so passionate about Tabby’s Place, and why I think it’s a very special cat sanctuary. This is why I’m donating a dollar of every copy of my book, Dear Sparkle purchased from my website to them until the end of 2009! Click here to buy the book — it’s fun and makes a great gift!

    Wow. My Mom had a blind kitty. When Baby was almost 20 years old, she became very sick and Mom had to do the right thing. We all miss Baby, but we remember her everyday. I wish more humans were like my Mom and take in a animal that needs extra time and attention, like my big brother Guido, but he is a story for another day.

    Tabby’s Place sounds wonderful. I’m so thankful there are places like this to help cats in need! I support Caroline’s Kids Pet Rescue which is similar. Cage free sanctuary that has adoptable cats, feral cats, as well as those with special needs and that have feline HIV.

    Enjoyed the videos! Loved hearing Anastasia purring! How cute!

    I thought Nuttin was a tough character the first time I saw him, but then he crawled in my lap… usually it’s a race between him and Fuzzy for first crack at someone’s lap. Tabby’s Place will appreciate all your efforts and your help!

    Wow, that looks like a great place. Aren’t they wonderful to take care of those disabled cats. Wish I could afford to send lots of money. I would even like to adopt some of them, but I am totally out of space in the Inn.

    […] Place, the fantastic Ringoes, NJ-based cat sanctuary that cares for many special needs kitties. I briefly mentioned Tashi in one of my posts. He was rescued from an Ohio feral colony as a kitten when the cats’ caretakers realized he […]
