Craig Grant didn't like cats. But that changed when his son moved out, leaving his cat, Pepper, behind. And just when Craig was getting used to having one cat, he found out Pepper was pregnant.
Five kittens later, Craig was ready to adopt them out until his son said they must stay with their mother for 8 weeks. "It wasn't long before the kittens were swinging from my curtains," he notes on his website.
The cats started to be a problem for Craig. Not only were neighbors complaining but the cats were being harassed, like being shot with B.B. guns. A newspaper advertisement led him to a tree farm 100 miles away from his Jacksonville condo.
He immediately loved the tree farm and bought 30 acres where he quickly erected an office trailer as a cat shelter. It had pet doors and padded shelving for long cat naps. The sanctuary is in the middle of 100 acres of wildlife.

Cyoot kittehs ping.
We have one dog and four cats. Ninja (cat) and Buster romp together. Buster weighs 94 lb. When I see Bus bouncing around, it’s evident that a little miscalculation would result in a cat pancake. Ninja trusts him implicitly, and that has never happened.
Incidentally, the reason that we have cats is that Scooby, a pointer-setter mix who has joined the angels, used to point at feral litters for hours. The kittens got so used to him that they were unafraid of dogs. To keep them safe, we had to bring them in the house. He was their nanny until they grew up. He didn’t like cats, only kittens. The Creator works in strange ways....:)
I need to drop off Butters there.
LOL!
I think that Craig could singlehandedly keep the lint-roller industry afloat.
I finally was able to get into his webpage. I have a lump in my throat.
What a genuine, authentic human being.
Must be loaded.
They appear well cared for...
Look at all the kitties.
Yeah, I should have added etc, etc, etc to sofa, chairs and beds ;^)
What a genuine, authentic human being.
I felt the same way.
I have a special place in my heart for kitties and those who take care of them.
Cute. I love his handlebar “whiskers.”
