The man built a sanctuary for homeless cats

Craig Grant bought a tree farm far away from the city and turned it into a sanctuary for all the cats he has rescued.
He lives there with the cats and provides lots of love, care and companionship. Its hard to imagine that once he was not a cat lover and did not want cats until he met his sons cat Pepper. He also got to experience what it is like raising a litter of kittens.
Over that time I learned that every cat had its own unique personality and it wasnt long before the kittens were swinging from my curtains. I didnt care. Something had changed I didnt want to give them up.
The condo life was not easy for the kitties, so Craig found a tree farm and settled down there for his fur babies.
Over the next several months, he rescued more and more homeless and abandoned cats. The number of new residents kept going up, so Craig expanded the sanctuary to make more room for the animals.
The farm was named Caboodle Ranch and is now a permanent home for all the homeless, rescued cats. Each of them has a sad story of their past, but now they are living in heaven.
Cats should be able to roam free, and at Caboodle Ranch, thats what they do. Craig has built many beautiful cat houses and decorated the place with vibrant colors and tons of liveliness. All the cats are spayed and neutered.
BRAVO GRAIG!
Dear Betsy,
Thank you so much for this contribution. What a great idea to build a ‘cat city’ for the homeless kitties! To read an article like this first thing in the morning makes a perfect start for the day.
I just love to see the grey cat sitting in front of his/her house looking so proud. ‘My home is my castle’ he/she seems to be saying.
Bravo Graig, indeed! How funny and wonderful!!
Hugs from Mervi
Dear Betsy, a colleague of mine has forwarded me this link only a couple of days ago. Isn’t it wonderful !!!! I love these little cats houses.
Dear Betsy!
Thank you for the story! What a nice place for the cats! And, Yes! Each cat has an own unique personality.
Hugs

Betsy – I love this story. What a compassionate human being and such a wonderful gesture of love and devotion. Beautiful human beings still walk this earth and we are blessed to have them with us.
Thanks so much Betsy!
Dear Betsy,
thank you so much for letting us know about a little city for cats where they have their own houses. Graig does a wonderful job. These cats must be the most happy ones on earth.
Hugs, caren
Hello Betsy

Best wishes

Betsy…
What a wonderful story… thank you so much for sharing it. I, too, love all the little houses and other buildings (I think City Hall is especially cute!) just for the kitties. I will NOT be able to let my Sadie see this or she will be demanding her own village, LOL!

hehe, I’m glad everyone is enjoying this article, thanks for posting Mervi! I still cannot get over it. My cat Kai would NOT go for this. “SHARE? are you kidding? I want them all for myself, AWAY with you” he would say to all the other cats.
Still, I must admit I would like to visit. If I had the skill and land to build such a sanctuary, I might just do the same thing…sans the Entenmann’s doughnuts ;P
