There's just something about Mary, feline fam! She's a cutie, a looker, and she's got the fluffiest toe beans on this side of the internet. What's even better, is that she went from a horrible hoarding situation to living the good life in her furrever home. She was forced to live with 12 other cats, and even in a huge space, that's just not how cats were meant to live. We hope she's getting fed some fresh tuna from the can right meow because she deserves it. Every cat deserves it, but Mary especially, and not just because she's adorable. Okay, maybe a little bit because she's a cutie-patootie.

Purrsonally, we have never had more than three cats, but we can see how it would be a slippery slope to get to 13 cats. You save one, and then another, then another has kittens… and boom! You're over 10 cats and you don't know what to do with yourself. Don't let yourself get there, so we don't have more Marys in the future.

  • We love a comment that is effective and to the point. Yes, Mary is cute. She has big, round eyes that you can get lost in, and she looks like she would be a purrfect cuddle buddy. We need a Mary in our lives (although we did just talk about it being a slippery slope from “What's one more cat?” to “Oh dear, now we have 13 cats”).

    You can tell Blue had gone through a lot of ab e, he had a break in his tail that they never tried to fix so now his tail is crooked at the top. He was very skittish with everyone except with me at that point. My George always

    comforted Blue too which was always sweet to watch him lick Blues face all the time. I think that's why Blue has been going through an almost depressive state since George passed away just after Christmas.

  • We love seeing all these cats get rescued, but we yearn for a day when there won't be a need to rescue so many cats. If everyone would get their cats fixed, this wouldn't happen. Of course, there would always be cats in need, but at least the volume would go down.
