MEET "CHIRPER"
|
 |

|
|
|
 |
 |
It's a common misconception that Chirper is my
baby. She's actually my sister as she was rescued almost 13.5 years
ago by my family! This little kitty has moved 4 times in her life,
and the shortest move was 2 hours. The last trip she took was from
Ohio here to Philly to become my official roommate. I honestly don't
know what I would've done without her companionship in a big new
city!

MEET "ZEUS" |

Here is my little
guy! I was looking at your website and decided to send pictures of
this little nugget. I rescued him at around 3 weeks old; he was
found in an abandoned litter with 4 other kittens. He has grown to 5
months now and is super rambunctious and curious! He loves hiding in
my purse or under my bed to play his favorite game: 'bat the feet
that walk by'.
Our thanks to B. Grignano for sending these
sweet photos! |
MEET "LEO" & "TINO"
|
 |

|
My cats names are Leo and Tino!
They're brothers from the same litter who are
too cute not to share.
They had their first visit at Caring for Cats
when they were around 3 months old.
Our thanks to Molly Chapar for sending these adorable photos! |
 |
MEET "COOLIO"
Coolio is a 15 month-old cat that my daughter Sara rescued from a
parking lot in Grays Ferry in December of 2012. He is a
mellow, sweet, loving kitty who loves chasing, climbing and
sleeping. The photo was taken during his favorite game to play
"what's under the covers" with me, his Nanny ( Sara's mom).
We love Cools -- Barb
and Sara DeNault
Our thanks to Barbara DeNault
for sharing this sweet photo! |
Meet "Nelly" & "Alphie"
|
 |
 |
 |
This is Nelly, enjoying a
little reading ;-) (take a look at the name of the book!)
|
This is Nelly
and his "brother" Alphie. They are best buds. They like to hang out
around the house and sometimes I catch them cuddling! |
Alphie saying
"get the light out of my eyes, I'm trying to sleep here!" This is
his favorite spot to sleep, on the kitchen chair. |
Our thanks to Laura Hoff for sending these adorable photos! |

MEET "SAMMY" |
 |
 |
 |
MEET "HENRY"
Henry is
one sweet little guy! Even though he only has three legs, boy can he
run! He loves to chase his bird toy around the house, wrestle
with his buddy Amelia, and make lots of noise so you don't forget
he's there. Most of all though, he loves to curl up on his
mama's chest and has been known to lick the noses, heads, and faces
of those rubbing him. Henry was adopted through the Animal
Rescue Network when he was 5 1/2 months old.
|
|
MEET "AMELIA",
NOW ALL GROWN UP! |
 |
Although Amelia is
luxuriously fluffy and gorgeous, don't let her fool you--she's no
lady! Amelia loves to eat off her mama's plate, pounce on feet
under covers, chase and be chased down the hallway, and scurry under
sheets when a bed is being made! She enjoys sitting in her cat
tree and surveying her territory, sitting by an open window and
watching bugs fly by, and crawling on to her mama's chest for a nap.
Amelia was adopted from Morris Animal Refuge in Philly when she was
three months old. See Amelia as a kitten below. |

"AMELIA"
AS A KITTEN
Our thanks to
Lindsey Cushing
for these adorable photos!
|
Amelia is a sweet little baby who loves giving
kisses, being rubbed, and has lots of love to give. She was adopted
from the Morris Animal Shelter where she was living with her 4
brothers and sisters. Her favorite activities include pouncing
on feet under the covers, eating food off of her mama's plate,
following her mama into the bathroom for attention, and late night
cuddling.
|
MEET "PUMA"
& "AURORA"
|
 |
 |
 |
Kittens Spooning |

MEET
"DR. AWESOME"
Our thanks to
Shannon O'Rourke for
sharing
these cute pics!
|
|
|
 |
 |
These photos are of one of Dr. Guth's newest
patients, Dr. Awesome. Thanks to a friend posting on Facebook,
I found out that a friend of hers had to give him up because his
daughter developed allergies. Their loss is my gain and now I
have an incredibly sweet-natured, devastatingly handsome companion!
He talks to me all the time and makes little chirpy bird noises when
I pet him. He is up in everything all the time and follows me
around the house like a puppy dog. Best Decision Ever! |
 |
|
MEET "MIMI"
This beautiful little girl is "Mimi" Straface
Our thanks to Andrea
Straface
for sharing this sweet photo!
|
MEET BRIDGET,
HER NEW KITTENS, & PERCY |
 |
 |
Bridget has been with Dr.
Guth
since she a kitten!
|
Bridget now has 7
week-old kittens!
We named them (in order
from left to right)
Little Bridget, ET, Baby
Percy, Molly Brown,
Kitty cow, and Simba.
Four boys and two girls! |
|
|
 |
Our cat Percy was brought into a friend's
Pet Shop because he was found abandoned.
We took him in and really helped him recover
well
with the help of Dr. Guth!
|
 |

MEET
"FINNEGAN"

|
MEET LILY |
 |
 |
Lily blends right in with the slippers that her
mom got for Christmas this year . . . and in the summer, she loves
the lion cut that she gets at Caring for Cats! It keeps her
cool so that she can sleep on her favorite window.
Our thanks to
Emily Barsa for
these cute pics!
|
 |
|
MEET "DEXTER"
Dexter might be a terror when he comes in for a
check-up,
but he wants Dr. Guth to know that he is
just a little pumpkin the rest of the time!
Our thanks to Erin
Gentzel for this cute photo!
|
MEET CAMPBELL |
 |
 |
Her name is Campbell, and she is going to be
one of Dr. Guth's patients soon. I found her last year during one
of the (many) bad snow storms. She LOVES cardboard boxes and
sleeping on hard surfaces for some reason. Campbell is Scottish for
"crooked mouth" because, when she was a kitten (before I found her),
her jaw was broken and it healed crooked. You can't tell by looking
at her, but a trained professional always notices right away.
(Giving her pills is ALWAYS a treat, haha!) |
Our thanks to Laura McLaine for
these cute pics!
|
MEET
GRACIE & MAGGIE |
 |
Gracie (Ragdoll) is a new patient at Caring for
Cats and Maggie (gray DSH), soon to be a new patient, was just
recently adopted -- and she just loves to talk! Everybody
needs a friend in life and now they have each other. |
MEET
FUZZBUCKET |
 |
FuzzBucket is a new patient at Caring For Cats who has just been
adopted!
He is a Ragdoll, born 2-10-09. |

cube.

MEET TUCKER

Here is a picture of
Tucker doing one of his favorite hobbies -- climbing our screen door!
Our thanks to Mike & Jenn for this great photo!
MEET CHELSEA

I just love my new Doctor and all the Staff at Caring
For Cats.
I don't even mind my doctor visits now!
Our thanks to Lisa for this great photo!
MEET D.K., RUE & TEVIS

|
|
The first picture is Danger Kitty (DK for
short) at 8.5 weeks old. She's a very curious, brave little kitten.
She and Rue (the old lady cat) get along pretty well, but she runs
into hiding the minute she hears the dog. Her favorite toys are her
jingle balls and her furry black "mouse."
|

|
|
The second picture is Georgiana Rue (Rue for
short). Rue will be 14 years old this Halloween. She's adjusting
very well to the new addition, but will let DK know when she's had
enough running around. We're pretty sure that she gets around by
echo location because at night, we'll hear her walk a few steps,
pause, "mwrawr" and then walk on until she gets where she's going.
|
 |
|
Finally, there's Tevis. Tevis was my first cat
ever. He found me at the CT Humane Society when he was about 8
months old in 1993. We'd been together ever since. He'd been through
several moves, the introduction of Rue to our little family, and the
intro of a dog late in his life. He let the dog know who was in
charge in no uncertain terms. Tevis' favorite thing in the world
(besides gooshy food) was cantaloupe. He'd drool in anticipation of
a few chunks of it. He also liked red bell peppers. He was one of
Dr. Guth's first patients at Caring for Cats. Sadly, we had to put
him down in April 2008. He was about 16 or 17 years old. Dr. Guth
walked me and my husband through the whole decision and was
wonderfully compassionate. The staff was great, too.
Our thanks to Sue O'Donovan for
these wonderful photos!

MEET MORGAN, LILLY & RAVEN
Hi!
We're sisters and our names are Morgan, Lilly, and Raven. We are very friendly
Bombay cats with copper eyes, large erect ears, and long tails. We're 6-8 months
old, and Dr. Guth and her staff at "Caring for Cats" are helping to keep us very
healthy. We love to groom each other and to play and wrestle.
Sending
warmest regards and sincerest best wishes!
Our
thanks to Kurt H. Eckard for this great photo!

MEET SHADOW & SUNNY
Shadow (black) and
Sunny are new patients to Dr. Guth. We are new to the neighborhood and very
happy to have a caring doctor right around the corner.
Our thanks to Christine
Benincasa for these great photos!

WE REMEMBER
ROCKET |
 |
 |
Here are two pictures
of my cat Rocket. One when he was just six weeks old. The other was taken
January 12th, less than a month before he passed away on February 14, 2009. He
was fourteen years old. I loved him very much and really miss him.
Dr. Guth and her staff
took care of Rocky during his illness. They are wonderful. I highly recommend
Dr. Guth. She's very knowledgeable and a warm person. You'd have a hard time
finding someone as good as her.
Our thanks to Allen Arnold
for this Memorial Tribute

A VALENTINE FROM TRILLA &
JAGGER
Here is a picture of my
cats Jagger (the black male -Right) and Trilla (the tabby female-left) with a

Thanks for all your great cat care! Trilla and Jagger are both healthy and - I
think - happy! : )

has to wear the
Hannibal Lecter mask!

Our thanks to Andi (and Flip) for these
great pictures!
