Named after his foster mom’s favorite writer, Leo Tolstoy, both share a large stock frame and wise ways.

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] Kitten season is here and we are scrambling to keep up with phone calls about momma cats giving birth to their babies outside.

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] We were made aware of our furry friend Amigo over a year ago. He and his mom were being fed by a kind man who built an outdoor shelter and feeding station for them. Each day he would journey into the woods to check on them. One morning he found only Amigo, acting distraught. With no sign of the mom, he feared the worst since there were coyotes in the area. We were contacted and once trapped, Amigo was fully vetted and brought to a foster home, where he still remains, long overdue for his own home. Why is this …

[Editor's note: The following column was submitted by Lots of Love Cat Rescue.] A cat named after a car? Well, it all started with a Lots of Love Cat Rescue canister. A pet store client jotted down our number and called to say she knows of kittens and a mom living in an old abandoned VW bug. As we went to scope out the situation, leaning over a fence to peer into the car’s dusty windows, three adorable kittens stared back, with shy but curious faces. Because this kind family was feeding them, the kittens were not totally freaked over the sight of humans. Once we trapped mom and her kittens, …

They all have enchanting different colored eyes! The name Mystic means magical which is the purrfect description for the delicate beauty that she is. Only 10 months old, Mystic is friendly, playful and very attentive. She is an all-white angora mix with one gold eye and one that's blue.
