I am sexy and beautiful but don't think that I am; I can swear like a sailor, but then be a sweet 'bring home to mamma' type; I am not "cool"; I have a sense of humor, don't expect you to pay for every date or open all the doors; I can get along with all of your friends. I am generous, attentive, sweet, playful, goofy, loving, sincere, talkative, and smart. I don't cook, don't want kids, but I love pets - probably any pets. I like to pretend that I am pretentious, but I am not in the slightest (though I WILL make fun of you if you buy your clothes at KMart or JC Penny...I will make fun of you a LOT). I am not up on world events, not into the artsy culture-y stuff like foreign films, and paintings that have no identifiable images. I love warm blankets (when it's below 70 degrees). I am trying to become a vegetarian, but I hate vegetables, and PB&J is my FAVORITE meal! (no, seriously, it is). I will do favors for you, even when they are really inconvenient, and I won't complain about it unless you are being a jerk. I've got a ton of issues just like everyone else, and I won't expect you not to have some of your own (but I will expect that we are both ok enough to handle our own crap).

Sweet, sweet, sweet babies! I love each one more than the next, and constantly tell each one "You are my favorite!". I mean it every time, for every one. I have lots of cats. I used to be involved in cat rescue, but now just foster. Some of my fosters are not very adoptable, and may never leave my house. It's important that anyone who gets involved with me understands that these are basically like children to me - I won't give them up for someone. I am aware that this is a lot for many people and that's just the way it is. Hopefully, I will find an amazing guy who is as compassionate about animals as I am!

Laura is crazy. Walking around here all day, talking nonsense to us. First of all, god forbid she uses a real name for any of us. And the petting....enough already! We are fine just sleeping on the bed, in the sunshine..and she comes over to mush on us. I mean, she is nice and warm to cuddle up with at night, but there have to be limits. Other than that, she is ok, I guess. She IS a pushover, which can be very beneficial. We would just like to see her find someone nice (and tall and cute. She made us put that in....).

I am a woman seeking a man age 30 to 45

My ideal relationship? I guess eventually, the live-together, life-partner, soul mate type of thing. But right now, I don't know if I am ready for that. Right now, I am happy seeing each other once a week, hanging out, and talking on the phone. The "perfect" man - Sexy, smart, funny, sincere. Taller than me. A man who can be tender, sensitive, sarcastic, supportive, intuitive, silly, strong, respectful. And a man who loves animals. I want someone who respects the rescue work that I do and who respects what I believe, as I will do for them. I want someone who LISTENS. Finally, I want a guy who is just a real person. Not on here trying to sound all "intellectual" and mysterious, and arty, and all that. Just be a real person, admit that you watch too much TV and that most of the time, you are sleeping late, going to the movies, or procrastinating doing housework - not jetting off to foreign countries, doing extreme sports, or being intensely deep and intellectual on a daily basis. I don't need an overachiever (though I don't need a "non-achiever" either).

Unless I was in a serious relationship, my babies would not be meeting ANYONE. Which, honestly, they are fine with right now. Enough is enough, as far as they are concerned! But my babies are all indoor-only, and will stay that way forever. I LOVE dogs, small animals, obviously other cats - probably anything.

Bogie

Bogie came to me as a diabetic 11 year old. I could tell he had been a big boy when he was in his prime. He had these giant eyes, and his meow was more like a demanding bark. He loved to cuddle, but only for about 5 minutes at a time. He was a very good boy and I am glad to be able to love him for the last 2 years of his life.

Hudson

I found Hudson in a bush outside a friend's apartment. He was filthy, funny looking, and SO happy to find a person! He had a horrendous urinary tract infection for the first few weeks that we had him and he would have died soon if we had not found him and cured him. I wanted desperately to keep him, but already had 5 cats and my roommate at the time was not agreeable to a 6th. I reluctantly adopted him out, which I still regret. I know that he was loved by the family he lived with, and by his kitty playmate, but in my heart he was always mine.

Tracy

Sweet little Tracy was a foster cat of mine. She was given up twice in her life, which I don't understand because she was just the cutest, sweetest little girl. Tracy didn't like other cats, but other than that always seemed fine. She suddenly stopped eating one day, and after a week of force-feeding her, I noticed she was still dropping a lot of weight. Several vet visits and one month later, she was diagnosed with thyroid disease. She was given medication, but the disease had taken hold and acted so quickly that she had gotten fatty-liver disease before she could be treated for the thyroid problem, and she died on Thanksgiving morning.
