#Caturday nannerphone time with Jammies, followed by Purr Pops!

Some of our longest residents STILL need homes. All of these cats are so wonderful but are shy & sensitive, so they don’t do well in a busy adoption center. They just need people to go a little slower & give them lots of positive encouragement to show you their hearts ❤️ Elkton, MD bit.ly/4cOmi21

The hazards of wearing baggie pants in the kitten room.

Last day of the semester today! I am neither student nor instructor so I don’t get a summer off—but I will have a very brief couple of days when I might actually be able to catch my breath. This whole semester has been a SLOG.

I now have a lovely view outside my window when I work from home. Much better than the garbage cans! That field is often full of dogs, defying the NO DOGS ON FIELD signs, and after school there will be children and adults playing sports games or running around.

The Doers Club, up and at ‘em helping me work remotely. Now that I have an actual bedroom, it has become clear that this is not a supervisory situation since they cannot tell if I am working or not!

This is a cat check point: relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

I think I found Clarence and Georgie’s “brother from another mother” @jenniferscrazy.bsky.social. #Minterland

Times are hard right now and we desperately need help keeping kibble and canned food in the flophouser’s bowls. If you are able to help support them nutritionally we would be grateful for such kindness. PayPal.me/projectsimonson Thank you all for loving on our wayward felines. #Cats

George the Library Cat is available to help you with the computer today. Please note, he’s in training and a little jumpy around the computer mice.

Perhaps my favorite part of my new place (other than the lack of mold and other ick) is that I have a TABLE WHERE I CAN EAT. No more trying to similtaneously dodge cats and juggle a plate of French toast while in a comfy chair.

You guys! If you know someone in the tristate area (corner of WA/ID/OR looking for a cutie ,Pendleton is doing a clear the shelter! It’s the tiny but mighty shelter dealing with en epidemic of dog dumping . Share with someone who might know someone ? Thx!

Jammies would like everyone to know that the service here is awful—tuna is not provided on demand. She has a lot to say about that.

GARFIELD and LASAGNA continue to wait for a home. These sweet little guys went viral on social media but didn't get a single app! Garfield loves you. Lasagna loves Garfield (not you). Bring these vax'd/worm'd/fixed/chipped sweeties home in #Tucson!

Maryland vicinity get yourself a Crits for Cats sweetie! This rescue is one of the best I’ve encountered .

#minterland our sweet Robin and Shannon have new fur babes showing up for help. A gentle reminder @hibbardvark.bsky.social has created/shared a wonderful link (below) where you can provide food and/or donate to help if you are able. 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 linktr.ee/Minterland?u...

My friend made me this amazing cake for my birthday. Chocolate orange cake, caramelized dulce de leche filling with a hint of salt, and choclate ganache icing. It was also a great breakfast “meal.” I finally live somewhere that I can invite friends to!

Hes got a Petfinder page and everything: www.petfinder.com/cat/hue-51e5...

🚨 Haley/@feederofcats’s Friends of Bear Cat Rescue needs your help! Somehow these adorable kittens STILL haven’t been adopted! As they say “These babies deserve homes and families, not to be sitting in an enclosure for a year”. Please spread the word! In CA? Adopt! www.friendsofbearcatrescue.org!

NCLR's Shannon Minter has been named to TIME's annual TIME100 List of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.  Swipe to see what some of @shannonminter5.bsky.social's colleagues had to say. 

#Minterland! Look, it’s our very own @shannonminter5.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 ❤️🥰🎉🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Every time I looked over yesterday, these two were being extra cute 😭 I don’t think they’re Bonded with a capital “B,” but they sure are great pals and if a magical home was out there that wanted a 3-legged cat that beeps at you and a 6-month old cat-shaped goblin, they’re both available in Maryland

Please start blocking all these AI-generated animal accounts. They are making so much money in content generation that could go to real shelter animals. If you care about me at all (or about shelter animals or truth), please share this. Thank you 💗🐾

Jammies enjoying the view on a rainy #Caturday.

Dearest #minterland, Shannon has a new outdoor fur baby showing up for food, care and love. Dear @hibbardvark.bsky.social has supplied us with links to donate or buy something off the Amazon wish list. Remember when Mr. Love/ William was an outdoor stray? This fella could be our new Mr. Love. 🩵

Blair will be reading The Day Leap Soared for Indie Bookstore Day April 25 at 10:30am CST so register, then gather round the kids & pups. We’ll be drawing 5 Zoom attendees to receive free copies. honestdogbooks.com/events/47732...

Honisty, i am so tired

i just do not know tbh

Just look at this silly guy!

Bentley & Ferrari have been in our rescue since they were just 6 weeks old— they’ll have been with us one entire year next month. Shy at first but playful & chatty, they don’t even need to be adopted together (though they would like to be if you’ve room for two!) www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

Face eating leopards are feasting well tonight.

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

We have so many worthy, wonderful young adult cats who’ve been passed over time & time again, many have never had a single application in nearly a year of being in our rescue. If you’ve been thinking of adopting, maybe one of them is your perfect match! Elkon, MD www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

It's Saturday but it's also #RespectYourCatDay so if you're ever sitting in front of a cannon with a cat near the firing mechanism then you better make sure you show it some respect. #Caturday A real life Tom & Jerry cartoon from our Photographic Archive.

Phoenix has a massive problem with abandoned and stray cats. It’s a tough place to do what Jay does.

#minterland A very informative article from our own dear Shannon about how the prisons are conducting their own form of conversion therapy. It’s devastating but needs to be kept in the forefront.

This is the way

turns out bob from chicago knows a little about what jesus would do

Become ungovernable, like cats 🐈

Cats are the opposite of vampires You don't invite them anywhere and still, a minute later, they're right in there like "Hi! Just let me -- yeah, one sec -- hold still -- okay I'm all comfy now, let's hang out"

We meant to post adoptable kittens Fishbone & Banana Peel as the twins in Kubrick’s movie adaptation of The Shining, but they much prefer @stephenking.bsky.social’s novel. Adopt these sweet babies & read to them! (Their SF Bay Area rescue’s full, so adopting/sharing ‘em will save more cats too!) 1/3

Hugh is still waiting for his forever home!! Sweet, cuddly, chatty, playful, this boy is just the perfect Orange! Elkton, MD. Details and application at: www.petfinder.com/member/us/md...

#HappyCaturday from the Oakland Doers Club.

Look @gonzo.bsky.social another ca’at with dinnersoar friends!

If you are in the Bay Area, immediately contact Friends of Bear and get yourself a cat! This is an AMAZING rescue. If you don’t need a cat at this time, donate instead!
