Looking at me now, you'd never guess I was born crippled.

That's because a little TLC goes a long way.
My name is Bendy Cute Kitty. I would like to tell you my story, and the story of my half siblings and housemates.

Details about wonderful me with spinal arthritis

R.I.P Bendy Cute Kitty 4/23/2012

forever loved, remembered, and missed.

Oscar is one of our Feline Leukemia positive cats (page coming).

He is 13 years old and has had a healthy life, along with his companion Bailey who is 12 and also positive.

They have been positive since kittenhood.

Oscar has had some recurrent tooth problems from a tooth he broke two years ago.  It acted up again and  on 5/2 he had dental surgery.  He was found to have an abscess in his jaw. This has been cleaned out and Oscar is recovering well, eating happily again and asking for attention. 

Please help us pay the vet who did his surgery for him!

 Thank you.

Our memorial to our wonderful Gumie Bean

Legume's Memorial

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the one who inspired us to save the cats others would give up on.  Kim Thunderwolf, my friend and inspiration, left us on 11/16/08.  Her kitten Peanut taught me that sometimes even the seemingly impossible could heal and live well.  Kim, Bendy's Home is a living tribute to you.

An amazing little cat, Valentine, found badly injured but somehow survived.

Meet the other special needs felines in residence.

Mattie, the thrown away kitty.
Anshar, our beautiful boy.
Gumby the recycled kitty.
 
Shadow, our resident senior
 
We were sorry that we had to say goodbye to Shadow on 11/29/06. He had been diagnosed with a very aggressive mouth cancer on 11/14.
 
For his last week we had a houseguest who stayed in his room, we're glad she was there for him while mom was at work, and snuggled with Shadow every night.
 

  Maggie, our "unadoptable" senior.

 We had to say goodbye to Maggie on 07/28/08.  She had been declining despite our best efforts to treat her arthritis and one day could not even stand up.  Her hips and shoulders seem to have completely given out.  We are glad we were able to give her a home for her last years.

She had been turned in to a shelter at the age of 16, the shelter staff did not like her because she kept making a mess of her cage.  Mom heard about her and took her home, where she proved to be a very sweet, loving girl and wonderful companion.

 

Meet Mimosa!
Mimosa started out as a foster but has joined our family. She was brought to the shelter with a shattered leg, that was only the begining of her problems.
The Emergency vet told mom "I know you can do this" and Mimosa is recovering more every day.
The Amazing TwoBit, the two legged kitty.

I am very sad to say Two Bit passed away on August 26, 2011.   She suffered a brain aneurism and mom came home to find her dead.  The vets say it was very quick and nothing could have been done.  We miss her very much!

 

Jean-Claude
This black kitty has had nothing but bad luck!

Jean-Claude became very ill in January 2012 and was found to have a mediastinal mass.  He left us on January 11.  We miss our little nose nurser.

 
 
 

Hugo, our FIV+ boy.

He was our first FIV+ cat, a tom trapped on the street.

He had broken toes and a bb under the skin but was a loving boy.

He left us in January 2012, he is very missed and  his room upstairs will always bear his name.
