Craig Grant didn't like cats. But that changed when his son moved out, leaving his cat, Pepper, behind. And just when Craig was getting used to having one cat, he found out Pepper was pregnant.
Five kittens later, Craig was ready to adopt them out until his son said they must stay with their mother for 8 weeks. "It wasn't long before the kittens were swinging from my curtains," he notes on his website.
The cats started to be a problem for Craig. Not only were neighbors complaining but the cats were being harassed, like being shot with B.B. guns. A newspaper advertisement led him to a tree farm 100 miles away from his Jacksonville condo.
He immediately loved the tree farm and bought 30 acres where he quickly erected an office trailer as a cat shelter. It had pet doors and padded shelving for long cat naps. The sanctuary is in the middle of 100 acres of wildlife.

Ping!
Cute overdose.
Oy Vey!
Awwwww..a cat house
I’m sorry. I’ve HAD cats. They suck out loud. I gave up being subservient to a feline, which coincided with me saying “adios” to Berkeley many moons ago.
My dogs treat me MUCH better.
Those who love cats, deserve everything the cats give them. And I’m happy for them. Humans AND felines both.
Not for me. Thanks.
Just so you remain clear about who’s in charge.
Make sure you keep up on your litter box duties, lest you be given a pink slip.
Oy.
I didn’t see Viking Kitty’s house.
Gotta love a man who loves kitties.
I suppose when food supplies become scarce in the upcoming Glen Beck style disaster, this guy will survive. Hope he knows how to cook Chinese.
Man likes his..... kitties.
At first glance I thought the opening sentence read—CARY Grant didn’t like cats.
Well, he was surely frightened by the big feline in Bringing Up Baby.
We have three cats, and over the years have had several others.
Most were raised with dogs.
The key is to NEVER let them know they aren’t a dog.
Never forget that cats started the mythos of how cats supposedly act. Stupid humans bought it, but we didn’t; the cats don’t know any different, and are just as happy.

Have cats and dogs. Dogs make you think you’re the greatest, cats put you in your proper place ;^)
Yes: scooping.
Scooping food; scooping the box because of the previous scooping.
We have 5 in the house, lots of scooping and re-scooping and the weekly ritual of finding all the cat toys and ping pong balls hidden under the sofa, chairs and beds ;^)
