Welcome to "Catty Remarks"

Greetings, and welcome to "Catty Remarks", my blog about Hobe Sound Animal Protection League and "all things catty." Come with me as I spend a bit of a time as a “fly on the wall” at Caring Fields Animal Sanctuary, our beautiful facility in Palm City, FL where more than 150 cats live in free-roaming, yet protected space in the safety and comfort of our no-kill shelter. Under the loving care of our small staff and our large group of dedicated volunteers, the cats of HSAPL live happy, comfortable lives. Many are adopted to forever homes, but others live out their lives in the comfort and peace that is Caring Fields.

So, just exactly who is Hobe Sound Animal Protection League and how does a small non-profit organization that relies solely on the generosity of donors provide food, shelter and medical care for 150 cats year after year? You can find out right here, in "Catty Remarks." It really is an incredible story that you won't want to miss. From event-planning to scooping litter boxes, each day brings new opportunities and new challenges to the volunteers and staff at HSAPL. Far from being hum-drum, lives are saved and, sadly, lost, as cats from a variety of circumstances land on our doorstep in need of help.

This blog will be a place for you to comment and recount your own stories as well. My posts will provide a starting-point, but I hope that you will jump in and share your thoughts about all things cat-related. There is always more to learn, and definitely something to smile about, when it comes to the fascinating, inscrutable, amusing, Felis catus, better known as the domestic cat.

So, come with me and take a peek behind the scenes. The cats are eager to share their stories with you.
