Floppycat of the Week

Hi! My name is Sunshine. I’m usually called Sunny or Sun. My family says I’m probably a Turkish Angora mix; about 3 years old, I guess.

I’ve had my kitty exactly 3 years, she was a rescue and I got her when she was just 12 weeks old.

In 2015 my Ragdoll cat Tobee was Ragdoll of the week. In August 2017 he got a little brother whose name is Tristan. He is a rescue and was 3 months old when I got him.

I was leaving Macy’s late one morning when my daughter Valerie sent me a text message with a photo of a cat. “Look! Adult female Ragdoll available for adoption at the Humane Society!”

On August 24, 2013, Angelo started life as a newborn found in a ditch with his brother and was taken to a rescue to be bottle fed by kind fosters. At first, they thought he was a little girl, so they named him Angelina but soon realized their mistake and changed his name to Angelo.

This is my mitted lynx Ragdoll, Leonardo Edward Whittleman-Perez. He was found in a tree at two months old in Illinois. Talk about winning the cat lottery!

Read this rescue story of two kitties who had to find a new home because their owner had passed away and what they are up to now!

I want to begin with a little background as to how I came to share my home with my Floppycat. I moved into my current home 4.5 years ago. I’m 71 and have a 14 year old female cat and 2 small dogs. We were a happy little family. Then a series of events began to transform it all.

This is our baby Khaleesi. We rescued her when she was just two months old, covered in fleas, had an eye infection, and was infested with worms. She was advertised as free on a cat adoption website, no shots, and obviously very sick. We did not realize how sick until we got her home.

I had always loved animals since I was a child, dogs and cats in particular. As a child I grew up with four lovely cats three Persians and a British shorthair and three dogs.
