  • Revisiting The Cats from MSFS

    Even though Miss Sherry's Finishing School for Felines has closed and the name of the yurt has been changed to "Mustang Ranch", there are still some of the former students residing at Rescue Village. As most of you know, many of the cats...

  • Friendships & Get-Togethers

    Having to walk away from the cats is the hardest thing. What also hurts is knowing that you won’t be seeing the people that share your love of these cats as often as you’d like. During our last week there, we all shared those emotions as well as the feeling...

  • I Have a Question

    With all of the difficulties that the Miss Sherry’s Finishing School has been facing, one strong opposition has been voiced by the people working to shut it down. They are opposed to cats being in cages. My question, which I have posed numerous times...

  • Bittersweet Journey

    I realize that I have been terribly inattentive to this blog. The problem has been that there has been too much turmoil whirling around the Finishing School for many months now. And I just didn’t know what to say. As you all know, the dust has settled...

  • Here's to Our Beloved Mags

    Upon my monthly visit to the Yurts in June, I had the good fortune to have Mags join my brother and me for a sleepover. We brought Dolly along to keep him company, show him the ropes and help calm him in a new environment. He was scared at first, but...

  • The Beautiful, Aloof Miss Ginseng

    In answer to Peter’s question – yes, Ginseng does like Greenies and of course you’re wondering how we found that out. During our monthly trip up to Rescue Village last week, Ginseng became a topic of conversation. She is not food motivated and never takes...

  • San Diego Adoption Event - Day 2

    The second day is always easier since there is less to set up. We arrived at 9:30am and went straight in to see how the cats were doing and they were doing great! Good morning meows from every direction. Their continued resiliency will never cease to...

  • San Diego Adoption Event - Day 1

    We spoke to Mark when arrived in San Diego with the cats about 6:00pm Friday evening and arranged to meet him at the motel the next morning at 8:30am. Talk about a pet friendly motel – all 17 cats spent the night in the motel room with him! The next morning...

  • Sometimes It’s So Bittersweet

    04/17/08 - There’s always many changes every time we come up here, some wonderful and some sad. On of the first things we noticed was that our boy Kermit wasn’t in his tree. Turns out, he was in Tempe at the adoption event! Bob became philosophical and...

  • Sleepovers – What Fun!

    Sunday, 03/30/08 our first sleepover in the Wildwood RV with cats! Perfect timing since we were still a little melancholy about saying goodbye to Snoopy, Carson, Dweezil, Angelina and Bagara that morning. We had been anticipating this night for weeks...

  • The Dedication Ceremony

    It started out as a cloudy afternoon at Angel’s Rest. I heard someone behind me say, “You watch, the weather will change drastically, one way or another.” As was fitting for the spirits of the departed animals, the sun broke through the clouds and bathed...

  • Playtime Wildfire

    Friday, 03/28/08 One of the biggest, most exciting changes I’ve seen today since the last time we were here is the way so many of the cats are now playing! They are well, acting like cats. Anyone who has interacted with the Pahrump cats knows what a milestone...

  • Return to the Yurts

    Thursday, 03/27/08 – We’re heading back to Kanab to spend time with the Pahrump kitties; and of course to attend the dedication ceremony Friday evening. It seems like such a long time since our last visit, I can’t wait to see our feline friends. We headed...
