Hattie and her many mates lost their mother when she passed away. The terrible person who was taking care of her tricked her into signing a power of attorney and stole all her money and the money that she had set aside to take care of Hattie and her mates! Then to top it off she called animal control to take them all away! Little did she know that we work very closely with Seminole County Animal Control and when we went over there to pick up one of our dogs they told us the terrible story and asked us to take them in and find them homes. Of course we will! We have to do something to make what that terrible person did to them right! Hattie and all her mates are WONDERFUL and when I say wonderful I mean WONDERFUL loving cats! I can tell that they were very loved! Of course they are scared and sad but they know that we were there to save them!

 

Do you know why cats with extra toes are often called Hemingways? It seems that the famous author Ernest Hemingway had an affinity for cats, admiring their independent spirit. The story goes that a sea captain gave him a Maine Coon cat with extra toes. At the time, Hemingway was living in Key West. Not fully appreciating the benefits of spaying and neutering, that cat had kittens that grew into cats, who had kittens who grew into cats, and so on and so on. Many of these cats also had extra toes. Today, if you go to the Key West estate, now the Hemingway Museum, you will see the descendents of the original cat still living on the estate, protected by the terms of Ernest Hemingway's will. And,if you can get close enough, you can count their toes!
