This beautiful girl came to us as stray who was abandoned in our neighborhood 12 years ago. She was my first cat ever. Our vet said that she was approximately 1 year old at the time. We tried to find a home for her as we didn't consider ourselves cat people. That year our senior Siberian Husky had died and we said NO MORE PETS!

Puff-Kitty was our feline evangelist. Not only did she get a permanent home. We fell so in love with her we adopted 3 barn cats from a friend. Then we went to a cat show and fell in love with the Maine Coon breed and have 4 of them so 8GR8CATS in all. We are celebrating her 13th birthday on Halloween!
