Bendy's Home Fosters Cats for Marleys Cat Tales, a local rescue with a focus on special needs cats, including FIV and FeLv positive ones.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR SENIOR CATS AT A SHELTER
A Special Thank You To a Wonderful Teacher!
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to the one who inspired us to save the cats others would give up on. Kim Thunderwolf, my friend and inspiration, left us on 11/16/08. Her kitten Peanut taught me that sometimes even the seemingly impossible could heal and live well. Kim, Bendy's Home is a living tribute to you.
An amazing little cat, Valentine, found badly injured but somehow survived.
To help with the many cats here, we have items for sale here and auctions going on!
Meet the other special needs felines in residence.
| Meet Mimosa! Mimosa started out as a foster but has joined our family. She was brought to the shelter with a shattered leg, that was only the begining of her problems. The Emergency vet told mom "I know you can do this" and Mimosa is recovering more every day. |

Shadow, our resident senior
We were sorry that we had to say goodbye to Shadow on 11/29/06. He had been diagnosed with a very aggressive mouth cancer on 11/14.
For his last week we had a houseguest who stayed in his room, we're glad she was there for him while mom was at work, and snuggled with Shadow every night.

Maggie, our "unadoptable" senior. We had to say goodbye to Maggie on 07/28/08. She had been declining despite our best efforts to treat her arthritis and one day could not even stand up. Her hips and shoulders seem to have completely given out. We are glad we were able to give her a home for her last years. She had been turned in to a shelter at the age of 16, the shelter staff did not like her because she kept making a mess of her cage. Mom heard about her and took her home, where she proved to be a very sweet, loving girl and wonderful companion.
