- Jellybean is 9 years old. She has very long thick black fur & big green eyes. The neighbors found her under their truck one morning. She was very sick, but mom nursed her back to vibrant health! Mom tried to find Jelly's people, but no one claimed her so mom adopted her!

- Bow Tie lives across the street, and mom feeds him. He has short black fur with a white bow tie. We don't see him much these days, and we hope someone is taking care of him. He is very timid and mom has never touched him.
- Tiger passed away in 2008. She was a tabby. She showed up on winter and had 3 kittens. Mom found homes for all the kittens, then Tiger was spayed. She lived outside and was friends with Bow Tie kitty. Tiger was very sweet and we used to sniff each other through the screen door.
- Tuxie disappeared last year. He is a tuxedo and has short fur. He lived outside and used to fight with Little Kitty all the time. He didn't like to be touched much, but ...
